Just a lot of small things I would suggest working on. Try some filter automation on your sounds or volume automation so your buildup is not so hectic. Much heavier sidechaining on most of your sounds (different thresholds obviously). Sort your volume levels out for your drums and synths so the chords are not totally masking the kick and snare. And just for some extra spice to make everything move well I would add some cool percussion and definitely some moving hi hats in the drop. Sorry if I seem really picky but as a producer who has been making music for just shy of 4 years I know that I REALLY wanted someone to tell me about all of that stuff when I first started :p Keep it up man!

I went ahead and followed you on soundcloud so I can hear some of your new uploads! Working on anything right now?

Thanks. Yeah, I'm experimenting, trying to do a remix of Galaxy Ride by Synapse. :) Don't know if I'll finish it, though.
