I really, really, really dig the melody. A lot. And the lead.

Though the kick is.... interesting?

This is what I use for my kicks like that;

Hardcore kicks 2; (30 Euro) http://www.kvraudio.com/product/hardcor ... orestylerz
Hardcore Kicks 1; http://176.9.137.206/~thecores/index.ph ... Itemid=147

I've gotten mixed results. Then again, Hardstyle, as much as I love it, isn't my genre of choice to produce, so I haven't put a lot of time into it.
10/15/2014 - I finally return to ponies? Maybe.

Actually it was more like 10/12/2015

My current SoundCloud, pony & non-pony things found here.

I have 4 EP's under this alias!

Somepony talk to me, I are the lonelies. :c

You could highpass the supersaw for clarity. I think it battles with the kick. And your kicks need snappier transient. Maybe cut the transient from a kick and layer it with this one. Also try EQing the kick so that you boost 400 - 1000 Hz. That should make it a bit crunchier. Admittedly kicks are really hard to make in hardstyle. (nomen est omen :D)

But this is gonna be good!

The kick sounds weird.

Also you could try making the leads a bit sharper by pulling the EQ treble band up ^^
