Me and Colortwelve finally got around to making a Collab.

This is really good, love the sidechained bass, and the drums are really thumping. The only thing I would do is to add a lead to go along with the "droplet" synth. This is a really good track though reminds me of deadmau5.

This is really nice.

I especially like the movement in the synth in the outro.

Writing as I listen, as that's the only way I do things these days.

Drum intro so far, sounds good. Loving the percussion sounds, but I hope some harder hitting stuff comes in later. You brought in the kick, but it's not really hard enough. Even for a mysterious intro, if you've brought that kick in, make it hit hard. That kick should (most of the time, anyways) be the driving force of the song. I'm liking that overall vibe I'm getting from this, that sound design on that lead is great. It (and this whole song) remind me of The M Machine's "No Fun Intended." Great stuff. Not too big of a fan of the filter at 2:15, it takes away from the hard-hitting-ness of the track. There are other ways to transition to a slow section. If you were going for some variation with that, try adding a lead solo kind of thing. If you were trying to slow it down, then experiment. Try taking instruments out one by one, and other stuff. My brain is fried right now so I can't offer much stuff right now, but hopefully others can help me out on this one. Great use of vocal samples, enjoyed that quite a bit. Looks like we're at the drum outro now, so I'll recap.

TL;DR:
–More prominent kick
–Leave the filters to the DJ, try other methods of releasing tension, as a producer you have almost unlimited options to try
–Great percussion sounds

I can't stress enough how much I liked the vibe of this. Very creative take, I absolutely loved it. I'm not sure whether you were going for a club banger or something more mysterious, but I felt like it should definitely be played on dance floors if you just cater to that specific audience just a bit more.

EDIT: For clarity.

EDIT 2: I'm wrong, actually. Filtering is fine, but only when tastefully. For instance, using a highpass or a lowpass for a measure or two is definitely fine, especially in this genre, but not when used for an entire section of the song.

God I love posts Like these
For starters, we were going for a good mix of the Club Banger and Mysterious. A very Dark Minimal House that would pertain to something you'd find in a Deadmau5 song. So we stressed on the repetitiveness and the easily mixable approach in terms of DJ sets.
The kick was weird, when we first started, I felt like adding an extremely bass heavy kick, but then me and Colortwelve silently agreed that we should tone it down and chill the drums out to make room for the rest of the song.
Thanks a bunch for liking what we went for, and thanks for the review as well. It means alot to me when you give me your input ^^

Meanwhile, C12 wonders if he should activate Perfectionist Mode and redo the mixdown again before we put this on Youtube.

Well its hard to give feedback when Decmaster kinda says everything.

But from what i hear it sounds dark n dancey. but some things you could ad are some very subtle synths like at 1:01 through 2:00 that move around without any musical tonality. like they just sortof sound ghosts or something spooky. like synthetic vocals? or synthetic strange percussion. i dunno.

and for the percussion, try to utilize stereo speakers more. like have them dance around from left to right. i think that would really make it pop.


but very nice sounding indeed!

Thanks, we might discuss this for the Youtube version.
Variety is key to making electronic music, after all.
