Constructive Criticism:
Please note that these are my opinions and are written with the good intention of helping you with EDM music production in general.

pros: Very nice intro. Cool vocoded bass.

cons: Supersaw lead arp is taking the focus away from the cool stuff in some parts and makes the rest feel a bit crowded.

Interesting video tutorial as well! :)
Cheers and good luck!

Thanks for your comments! I know, I tend to use too many ideas at once. But I feel in this song it's not too much. I'm not a big fan of minimalistic music, I like it when there's a lot going on. But hey, everybody's got his or her own taste, right?

I also like to use many things at once. :) .. I just think that in some parts it feels only a bit crowded like for example when the supersaw arp kicks in at about 1:28.
Don't get me wrong, I like your track!

No offence taken at all ;) But I think it's rather the bass than the arp lead that's causing what you feel is crowded. Maybe I have to cut back some of the higher frequencies a little. I'll have a look at it.

Really nice work man, the bass and arp synth is truely big, you also have a great grasp on the beat, its got punch and slap. All in all the mix is fantastic, only criticism would be the first intro part of vocals doesn't fit as nicely as i expect you are capable off, just needs like a bass prog to really emphasise that re-use of vocal. But top notch other than that :)

If you get a chance please check out my interperation of the song into a remix

Thanks for your comment! Always happy to see people like my music, and giving me tips! But I'm not sure what you mean by bass progto emphasize the re-use of vocals. You mean adding some kind of bass-pad, as the intro is lacking in those frequencies? It was my intention to have no low-frequency instruments in the intro, to really emphasize the drop...

I like this remix. Probalby some eq needed on drums, but fair enough.
