First song I've made I felt was worth sharing on here.
A melodic song more on the Freeform side with acid and hard kicks. Familiar elements I like to work with: a sample ("Kick this one here for me and my DJ"), V-Station, breaks, and a 303 sound.
Feedback welcomed. Thanks for listening!

Thoroughly enjoyed your track mate. Immense acid build up into the drop. That sounded awesome. Love the little amen break / reverse fills. Great melody and synth work (unique). My own little opinion, don't want to sounds like a t and ends in t but I just thought the vocal was a bit over used. Apart from that I like it lots.
Cheers for the free download mate - followed :)

Many thanks for the follow and your comments!
I'm such a sucker for samples... love hearing them and using them, but I will definitely keep in mind over use in a song. Thanks!

To be honest: the melody kind of felt like it's proper Eurodance back from the 90's (besides the acid line). This doesn't mean that the acid line sucks or sounds any wrong.
The Breakbeat hidden in the deep background within the breaks fits so tightly and its vanishing when the build-up occures sounds working perfectly to my opinion.
The sample is totally unnecessary; I'd try finding proper vocals instead (although I already can imagine how difficult it is to find a good vocalist, when you're a no-name). Good luck!

Perhaps a different sample or much less of it would have been better. I will keep my use of samples in mind for future work.
Thanks for listening and your feedback. Much appreciated!

Greetings from canada, nice work, didn't realize you were still kickin. Used to download and listen to quite a few of your mixers years ago. Will check your site again.
Just got into production recently myself, hoping I can throw something together that sounds half this good some day. That being said, awesome work and hoping to hear more.

Ha, yea. I'm still alive, well, and still very much loving the Hardcore. I did go fairly quiet while I was finishing up college, life got quite busy. I'm working now so I have a set regular schedule which has allowed me to set up time to get back into the music.
I broadcast live on http://ukast-fm.com/ every other Sunday, I've been broadcasting there since '07 now, so you'll see quite a bit of mixes on my site now.
Thanks for the comments on the track, more is definitely on the way. Hoping to hear your work as well!
And thanks for downloading / listening to my mixes those years ago :)
