This is really nice! For only your second remix, this showcases a lot of skill. I could do without the oontz oontz bit at the end, just stylistically, but overall a wonderful piece.

I know I shouldn't go hard on you and I won't, but what this needs the most is proper mastering. In some "main" parts of the track there is a lot of distortion caused by overlapping frequencies of a variety of instruments and synths (e.g. 3:35 - 3:50.) The "boom" effect is definitely too high on low frequencies. The claps are too low on pitch - they do not go well with your melody key.

What you need to try to do - even with this song, just for fun of learning (go Twilight Sparkle on this) - is to equalize it and do some sidechaining with pads and maybe slightly on those snynt lines.

This is not bad, but it can be improved.

My biggest issue is with your lead sound at 1:03. It just sound very muddy, and even throughout the track. I also think the melody loops in an awkward fashion and I realize that this is a big style choice. I'm just not a big fan of the quintuple meter (stop me if I'm wrong) melody at 1:30 while the rest is going in common time. Also, at 3:55 it sounds very distorted, and the oontz at the end sounds like its changed songs. Its great for leading out of in a DJ set, but it doesn't seem like its very necessary if a brand new song could literally create the same feel of a sudden shift.

But you've got a good melody and dance-able parts. I highly recommend trying what Matthew_N says. Its good advise.

If there is a music genre that I know some stuff about then I am most likely to give some feedback. Unfortunately, I don't receive much of it for my own WIPs, so at least I can be the one who gives it around. :)
