I was mostly drunk while making it actually.. hehehe
It's actually a pretty fun track (I think), especially after adding TDrive to the lead, making it sound like an electric gitar...
Don't judge me for this ;-D

OK!!
The right spirit, basic, and rolling.
Ken, here you can hear how kick and bass can work together! (just don't like the little interruption in the bassline pattern as in the first part of the song).
What I specially think is good, is the volume ratio between the beat and the rest.
The kick and bass are perfectly pretty loud compared to the 'musical' parts, and that's the way it should be to get dance.
In home studio's it's hard to keep this in mind because you can't play it loud, and the lack of loud low freq's makes you think you need to push musical elements to push to the front.
Now you need to put the music loud to hear 'music', and there you go: dance!
Keep drinking, Amo!

funny that this track got some positive replies, and the other two, which i think are much better) got none.
as i gave your other songs genuine positive feedback, i feel i have the right to be a bit more negative
if this is 'hardhouse', then it's nothing for me (i use to call it 'euro trance/euro beat' or whatever).
what i really liked was this sound on (approximately) the two and the four (somewhat 'reverse' sounding), but the snare build ups destroyed my 'mmm, interesting...' feel. it's so obvious, done too many times. i'm sure you can come up with something more creative. i guess this kind of drum roll is typical for this genre, which makes it unattractive for me.
but your other tracks, aMo, there good!

borg: Thought that was strange too, but I just figured they had bad taste, hehe.
As for the originality of this track, I agree with you, it's nothing new really, it was made just for fun, and the entertainment value it had while I made it worth it anyway
Thanx for all your feedback though, it's all appreciated!
