--> Always wanted to make a straight forward fun electro track and here it is. It's not quite finished. The finished version will go on a bit longer and there's a bit of tweaking to do but this is all you lot are getting.

Fun stuff... it could use another layer of drums to give 'em a bit more THUMP.
Maybe the synths, too, copy and paste the midi to two similar instruments and pan them Left and Right, make that melody a bit WIDER and BIGGER.
Just thoughts...

Agreed. More bass would be great, either the good old 808 thump or some deeper analog style bass.

It is an 808 thump but it doesn't quite seem to fit quite right in the mix.

The idea with the drums was to keep them a bit thin at the beginning of the track until the bass deviates into its own riff when the DMX comes in on top and it gets a bit harder. The bass sound lacks punch. I might overdub the whole bass track with audio from one of my analog synths (the whole thing's done on reason3 if you hadn't guessed).

The issue with 808 thumps is you have to leave enough headroom/space in the mix. So sometimes it's not the way to go.

Defnitely overdub w/ analog. With a little mixing, I think you'll have an awesome track any electro DJ would love to spin.

Cool track, percussion synth went a bit too long on that one note... could have used more layering.

i like it, but the synths are too loud i think. maybe give the beat another layer-like an 808 cowbell when it rejoins the synth.

The synths are just too digital. It's a track that needs to be rendered on analog equipment, which I could do since I now own an MS10, an octave cat and a kenton midi/cv converteriser.

Maybe I should just put some compression on it.
