An instrumental track I made for an ongoing contest:

Don't know what genre to call this. Electro, I suppose.
Comments welcome!
Seven and Eight

Yeah , definitely Electro. Quite groovy and rhythmically varied with nice arpeggiated sounds and quite catchy. Clean and transparent mix.

Here's a revised version with boosted highs here and there:

I also used another limiter on the second version, but theoretically a more "transparent" one. Warmer is good though, too !

First I thought "what a great warm sound". Then I saw the title of the tune in the player ... I'm not a synth guy but the first synth I'd buy would be Zebra 
Yeah I agree with mello, it's got definitely that oldskool electro/breakbeat feel and I like it. It could be expanded to a proper tune but leave that middle piano-only part starting at 0:52 out. Sounds too sweet compared to the excellent, nervous riffs and basslines heard before

Thanks Zeoy! Yes I suppose it could be turned into a full song... although the initial idea was to make this for the Zebra Oldskool presets contest, so I kept it short.
I kind of like having quieter "bridges" in my tunes... in this case, it also allows me to use more sounds from the demo presets. But you're probably right that it's very (too much?) different from the rest of the tune. Perhaps it would work in the context of a soundtrack, and not so well on the dancefloor. Anyway nobody on a dancefloor would dance to a 7/8 tune!
cheers!
