<nonpony> <hardcore> Metro Station- Kelsey (Hardcore Remix)

[DJ Skrudge]

So I know I haven't been active at all for a while, but I recently got back to making some stuff and I'd love to hear thoughts/comments/criticism on it, particularly the mixing. Promise I'll start critiquing some other tracks in this sub forum tomorrow! :)

My first thought was that the hats in the intro were a bit too loud.
The vocal sounds a bit out of rhythm to me, but that might just be my ears tricking me. It's a problem I've got with most hardstyle.

The glitch breaks are pretty cool and help cut up the track into digestible pieces. I'm missing that great uplifting lead melody. I keep expecting it, and it just never happens. Dunno if you didn't go for it, or if you just haven't added it yet.

I'm not too big on Hardstyle, but this isn't a bad track. Not bad at all. It's got some interesting vocoder effects and a very energetic beat. Perhaps a bit of variation would serve the drums well? It might just be the way harstyle is supposed to be, but I find the constant kickdrum a bit tiring.
