Just another mixdown of my track Utopia with a few vocal samples. Still not complete
Soundcloud

Holy shit dude! Utopia has put a smile on my face... NICE! Just one suggestion (little one) if you want it.. the female voice in the very beginning - bring it up a little so it balances with the music when it starts out.. Other than that, sweeeeeeeetttt...

Im glad you liked it man! and thanks, Ill sort the levels out

Good mixdown mate, only thing I could say is that the kick and snare don't smack as much as I'd like them to. Maybe bring them forward a bit more?

Thanks for the advice man!

Killer arrangement! What I love about this is the dancefloor potential it has. This could easily be a track heard in an EDM rave, but for a couple of reasons it isn't.
1. you could definitely use a sub to make the kick hit harder
2. the quality on the growl is kinda low, maybe playing a little with the noise effect/oscillators keeps it more growly from static
3. same with the pitchbending synth
4. The drums [kick n snare] should be more pronounced, try adding a filter and compressor maybe?

Those three points are whats keeping it, in my O, from being an industry track. Notation is catchy and really jumpy. Well done, I love it!

Im glad you liked it! I have only been making EDM for around 5 months now so I still have a lot to learn yet, But I guess that's part of the fun Thank you so much for the tips, I will definetly keep them in mind and use them
