Hello mate, I found a demo of yours on CD the other day whilst doing a major sort, and it appears I never replied to you, so I`m very sorry, there was some good stuff on there, but I have no idea how I got that demo?

As for this tune, it`s good clubby tune, bordering the line between techno and tech trance with a nice melodic lead/bass but seems to lack polish in a lot of areas.

It sounds like you probably haven`t used much compression anywhere, and also the mix sounds a little dry in places.

The kick sounds very flat, and could be compressed more effectively to give it more width and oomph as it sounds a little lite right now.
Also the top end feels very thin, and lacks brightness, there`s many ways to sort this out. Better eq would help, also maybe a little bit of bit crushing or something to add harshness to give it just a little edginess.

The percussive elements are very sparse and again pretty thin, compression and maybe some subtle delays to fill the mix might help here.

bassline is fine, although I`d probably give it a bit more grit and layer it with another sound to make it phatter and lower.
There`s alot of room in the bottom end and it makes the track lack any drive. I`d maybe keep the bassline where it is, and add some serious rumble around the kicks to make it really pump and pound.

Overall everything sits fairly nicely but the mix lacks real punch, fatness and width.
