I like it a lot. So I don't have to tell you why.

Love it! The stutters are specially well placed! If you're going for an old-school trance sound, it's spot-on!

Your track Teluria is my favorite, though

I like the music. Small points of criticism: The mix is a tad muddy, and you could use more reverb (and delay?) and maybe compress a bit more (feels a bit unfinished). Apart from that it's good really.

Thanks! It's been a while since I've done heavy gating or filtering to create transitions so this makes me glad to hear!

Ugh that's what I get for using my silly speakers instead of my monitors Thanks for the tips! I'll see what i can do for my next project!

Thanks all!

I really enjoyed this one. The bass is wicked, it's so nasty! Love the tune and love the notes.

Really liked the intro, with the filter thing. That glitchy thing is made with Glitch, Effectrix or something like that? Sounds really cool.
Actually the kick... needs some more layering. Maybe a lil' bit more of compression or even EQ'ing the high frequency, but it kinda lacks of some "high" frequency.

I enjoyed the white noise. The build-up is great. Fan of the first drop, but it needs more "agression" on it. More beef on the hamburguer. The idea is really cool (I like the synth) but it lacks of really energy. The lead of the 3:20 is AWESOME. ¿How you did it? I guess it's something with a long attack, sounds awesome, but again, it lacks of "body". Maybe layering, equing, but it's sad because the sound is really awesome.

This part it's just my opinion, but if I was handling the song, I add some complextro shit (in the likes of Heatbeat) in 4:45-5:00, just to make the song more evolving. Just a personal opinion, it still sounds great.

Overall a really interesting song, that with a little tweaks could be an ASOT song for sure

I hope you take the critics as positive

Could you check my also trance song?

Like it mate.
Glass houses and all that, as in I'm not one to talk, but it's a little fizzy for me. If you know what I mean.
Pay that no mind, though, good tune this mate. No doubt about that.

Agree with Mario, Teluria is a superb tune.

Good stuff. As i wrote, those are only small points of criticism, it's really pretty good all in all.

Very nice mix!

Great tune Dakkra

Keeps the energy and enough variation throughout to
maintain my interest.

Real punchy

i liked it for the most part. not a big fan of the wavy, pumping compression thing... makes me seasick
some parts were very compressed and loud getting as low as 5.5 on the DR meter. its expected though for
a modern dance tune i guess, i was only able to tollerate it all the way through listening on phones
because there were breaks. the IFRC was very good on it. good work
