beautiful

this piece is a true force of nature, it puts a charge on you, a positive energy. the drum part is as spectacular as the bass and synths .... I think it is not risky to say that it could be the hit next summer

Get up and MOVE!

Helpful

It starts off at a gallop- ok I'd guess at about 140bpm which on a dance floor translates to about 80 miles per hour. And it doesn't let up! It's fun and energetic throughout. In musical terms, there are really two movements- the first with it's driving buildup and rhythmic spins and twists, followed by a synthy breakdown that paints a musical picture with textures and melodic pieces. The final minute of this nearly eight and a half minutes long dance track is a wind down, ending in just drums, creating an easy way for club DJs to mix in and out. If you are a DJ and need an energetic bumper for late in the evening, this is a great choice for you. There's plenty of energy for the room and you won't get tired of the sections as they keep on developing into something fresh around every corner. To hear even more from this talented musician and EDM producer you can check him out on mixcloud and facebook as DJ Xterminate! I expect to hear more from this Artist/DJ this year!

Awesome dance track. I’d play this all the time.

Great intro, nice build and development. Mixed very well with a good choice of sounds. Very good bass, good breakdowns and drops. Very good choice of whitenoise placement and reverse cymbals. This song needs to be played at clubs all over the world.

An 'Out Of The Box' Ear-worm

Helpful

'Reach' is a grower. With it's spare and almost minimalist production the track feels as though it still has the space to grow and is most probably ripe for remixes galore. It tantalises with musical themes that burrow into the brain. Like an ear-worm. I would like to hear how the track develops from here on - a vocal line would lift that track higher, some plangent string synth riffs could take the whole production to another level. But 'Reach' is a track that stays in the head and won't lt go.

I feel like i'm back in the 90's! 90s 4Life!

As soon as this track starts i can hear a retro vibe. I am belgian so i grew up with this kind of music but as the years passed buy, so did the music. Very nice track, but maybe add some more automation perhaps, it would give the track more dynamic feeling. Great job btw, this style of music should return since it reminds me of the best times of my life. Keep making these tracks, there are many fans here in Belgium, and there are still Retro based events, so yeah, this music is coming back. Looking forward to hear more!

Hard House/Techno lives on (in Ohio)

Helpful

This track is well produced and makes good use of various pads and effects to keep the interest of the listener. I really liked the panning and use of the stereo imagery (which many producers are too lazy or inexperienced to get involved in). It has the anthemic section you would expect from Balearic tunes and rebuilds the core from the stripped down middle to a neat and bouncy ending. Lots of energy. If I were to be critical; I would suggest adding interest to the "padding" sections using drone effects or sound effects, maybe drop some vocal hooks in where appropriate?

Very Techno

I do not usually listen to Techno music , but I did enjoy your song lots of fun interesting changes, The Keyboards really work well on here and the panning of the left to Right is always fun on stereo. Nice Job

nice!

Helpful

this is definitely the style of trance i like! I really like the bass at the start and end of the track. there was a change of style in the middle of track, it sounded as if I was listening to another piece of electronic dance music, which isnt bad but it does sound like 2 different songs, overall, a well-produced and mixed track. i think adding hypnotic / trippy vocals would sound very cool in this track

Slamming 4X4

A four by four beat initiates this trance composition which then transitions to an arpeggiated groove. The musical elements are standard for this musical genre move the song along its way. The breakdown moves into a different direction that seems unrelated to the original theme but then in the second have rediscovers the rhythmic of the first half. The second verse combines both of the themes. The percussion elements seem to slight conflict at that point. The Arrangement is fine but could be smoothed slightly and the mix does have a bit of a rough edge that could be benefit from some compression. :)

Pretty nice track the kick thumps and the hats have swing to them. The synths and bass give it a nice feel of characteristics and the melody starting at 3:58 really reaches the soul. I personally enjoy good edm when i hear it. Nice work.

BANGING TRANCE TRACK

Helpful

Yes, this definitely comes under the style of trance and is right up my street! I particularly love the electronic bass at the start and end of the track and you could develop this by using chord progression throughout Didn't quite understand, though, the change of style in the middle of track, as it sounded as if I was listening to another piece of dance music. However, overall, a well-produced and mixed dance track. Not sure how difficult it would be to get, but adding vocals will always boost the attraction to instrumentals. Keep going - SRJ!

Dual feelings

Helpful

A track that has good but also some weak points. The global sound is very nice, the changing sound atmospheres nice! However the opening of the track is weak (cymbal sound) and the first lead melody in the track ressembles on a well known melody of a trance track out of the 90s. I know that because I was 20 years a dj on a radio station ( and still dj from time to time ) and have a good sound/melody memory. A good tip for Dave: make your own kind of music, forget all those rhythms that are already have being used a billion times! Boring! Nevertheless you have potential. Work further on personalising your sound.Greetz Jason

Song wasn't ready yet

Helpful

The idea of this song, was a good one, although there were a couple of sections where it lost it's flow. It could have used more dynamics to connect the changes for it to sound more naturally occuring during the track.

Cool

Trance ain't really my cup of tea, the melodies are cool, but for me, it's all in the drums on this one, I really like that hard step vibe, the breaks, they are dope.. cool work keep it up. NastyBoiBeats
