Something Real [Not really EDM, not sure on genre]

Thanks for posting your track! A lot of comments have already been made, but the big one to me is that the first drop needs some BASS! Get a sub-bass under there, and if it were me I'd EQ the low-end of the kick to get more thump. Remove all the bass as the riser builds with an EQ automation (one way to do it) and then bring it back in. It will have big impact bud. good job!

Really Dug the intro. The melody has a Castlevania Nes feel To it and I just love that. As Nyfree83 said from around 0:59-1:57 the hat was a bit to loud and it was a little over bearing. Some Punchier snare could have done some good. And maybe some more powerful bass. Feels retro and sounds awesome Keep up the great work.

I really like this man, keep it up!

really dig it! I wanted something really punchy after 1:00, or maybe some sub bass, even if you drop it out later and go back to what you're doing... its close enough to a drop, and the chorus is pretty good as it is, but maybe better as a bridge. Possibly add something to it for this chorus to thicken it up.

Never worry about Genre

Worry about being a follower

Congrats.

the bass in the drop definitely needs to be turned up and some more sub and low freqs, nice track tho'

i'd still consider this EDM. The mixdown gets painfully lacking in bass and sub. you really need that to make up for the grittyness of that lead. Nice overal progressions though. I like the different elements. They're all sitting a bit in the same place though. Try working more in stereo field. Maybe not direct panning, but making stuff wider can really help to place things in the mix.
