nice track... I understand where Acidtrash is coming from.. but i think its a style thing.

but in saying that i think you really have to work hard with the existing sounds to make the most of them, which would kinda make up for loads of edits/sounds.

trying to think what you could do with whats there......

-maybe a bit funk in those cymbols.. swing or moving them to the offbeat or something.
-the synth that comes in.. seems a tad weak.. you could maybe layer it with a complimentary synth... and really make it huge, it could then be really euphoric, which i think might be the soudn ur going for.
-when it lands back around 5.25 maybe the introduction of another sound/groove might carry the progression a bit better.

its nearly there tho man, nice work, and im feeling the overall groove. i think its really about capitalising on whats there.

look forward to any update :;
