Not a tech head but im liking this track.
Vocals suited it nicely.
Though the beggining felt Proghousy to me, dont know why but the percussion at the beggining gave off a proghouse vibe if that makes sense? Not that it even matters. It definately feels more techno when the vox kicks in past the 40sec? mark…
yeah i only usually make progressive house and i just heard a few techno tracks and thought i’d take a stab at it, i suppose it can be seen as something differnt, mix between prog and techno? haha thaks for listining and your feedback, wasnt sure about the vocals though! but glad to hear it works 
any other feedback guys? much appreciated
Not sure I would call it techno - but still sound production Dean - would certaily get a club rocking
what do you htink it would fall into though? thanks for the feedback im just want to see if anything is out of place
Ahh think you better lerave that question too the youngsters 
Very very very good production. I’m impressed. The latter part really shines for me mate, don’t get the first one minute though, better of just cutting that and keep it building from the word go.
This is minimal/tech-house IMO, leaning more to minimal.
I think that Saulable is spot on here. Minimal with a leaning towards tech house.
The first 1 min 40 secs is, well, a bit dull. The track only kicks off from that point onwards. I would cut that section down so you’re into the meat of the track much much sooner say within 30 secs or so. Or rework it.
For me the vox don’t work. I know that you’ve put a lot of effort into the fx on them but they seem grafted on from somewhere else. It may be that’s it’s three different phrases jammed together or maybe that they don’t quite sit in the groove that you’ve built.
The parts where you use them in the ends of breaks as part of a build where they pitch up work well. But that three phrase bit seems jammed together and jammed in.
The groove in the second half of the track is great. Especiallybthe blip synth.
Just needs a bit more work to have a cracker
nice mixing . it sounds more Big Room than a Techno Track to me. so far i enjoyed .

Yup have to agree with you on the vocals too mate. They seem too in your face, rather than something that sits nicely in the mix and complements the track. Perhaps a little something softer would go well here instead of the harsh tone you’ve put on it.
It does definitely have the potential to be as you so adequately put it “a cracker”.
Nice production Dean. On the subject of genre - the section around 5.02 sounds well techno. Loops that up for 6 minutes with loads of automation and work on some darker atmospheres you’d be getting there.
Great Great feedback there lads, thanks a lot, first attempt at something like that so i wasnt sure what genre to call it :S i think i should rearrange it too and work on the vocals… i may keep a few one shot phrases as fills for a change, maybe? great advice though i can see it bit more clearly now
