I really like the bass sound at the drop, just feel like there's too much of it. Maybe break it up with some fills or something. Even when a particular sound is awesome as hell, too much repetition is boring, and I think that bass is too awesome to want to get bored of.

Eq your kick a bit, it sounds like you put to much mids in, and make sure to side chain and compress, i personally don't like reverb on my snares but when someone does use reverb on snares it shouldn't be a whole lot, or else it starts messing up the track in most cases less is more. another thing to make your track sound more professional is make sure you have effects! putting a down lift on the drop will make it sound so much better, just make sure you side chain it. i also noticed there are absolutely no subs at all, and if i was to play this at a show, i would have tons of very pissed off high kids yelling at me to change the song, not matter how good a song sounds its never complete with out subs. VERY IMPORTANT (sidechain that too ^.^ )

Nice start, really good intro!

Loved the first drop, and it came just in time. The introduction is dragged out just long enough. Drums are ace, and the kick fits really well with the rest of the track. I love the fill at 2:17!

All around a good solid track! Something I would roll to in the car for sure!

listening to these at the studio i intern at, and the bass drowns out all the other elements of the song. its a cool idea, but could use a bit more mixing on the low end. kick seems to be flabby also.

Tracks pretty good but like others have said you shouldn't worry about getting signed, it will come naturally....

With this tune I found the main bass/synth a bit overpowering and the arrangment could do with some variation.... not bad though.

If you're trying to get into mau5trap, then I'm sorry I have to be the one to break it to you :(

Like... Your kick is WAY to long, that tail and pitchbend are just... distracting and your compression is way over the top. Everything sounds overcompressed and the sub needs to be a bit more saturated. One thing I noticed is that you never build tension there's not a curve in your DB level from start to finish, the soundwave is like a highway X) The snare in every single one of your tracks muds up the mix. Try to EQ it correctly so it still is present, but hits like a mofuker, but leaves as quick as it hits with a bit of high end tailed reverb.

Sorry, but some criticism is needed.
