Hi! this is a new one from our collaborative work. Still has some details to fix here and there, but generally ready. 142 bpm full on with the North touch

This sounds great! Even though its not quite my style, I am impressed by the intricate lead work, especially in the part from 3:20 to 4:50, and the way everything floats through the Stereofield. It really sounds like a lot of work went into this. And makus trademark bells are back again as well, hahaha

However, I do think the kick is too klicky and dry, but that could just be my personal taste.
it is clicky in the beginning, but in the full mix the click is lost, leaving the kick with no snap. i wonder if cutting all sounds around 2-3 kHz will help the kick to cut through better without being that sharp...

very cool track!:) really like this oldscool style:)
very nice story, everything sounds very interesting
the part at 3:10 is very sublime and awesome.
to make it sound even more awesome, only for my taste of course, i would change a few things:
1. a reverse kick at least at the start
2.you have got a nice melody running there.(heard it somewhere before in the track too), wich is pitchshiftet after a few notes. i would do this melody at that part witch starts at 3:23 too but unpitchshiftet if this is a word:)...so it sounds more "happy" in some way, because these is allready a very happy part. would probably sound more bouncy too when you would loop only the first 4 notes and not play the whole melody.
3. the bass is getting higher in the end of the part at 3:10. but stops then for the break befor 3:23. i would ad two more beats before the break and go up there with the base a further note.
the high offbeat bassnotes sound a bit loud but maybe this are my speakers.
.... ...5:40 is so sweet:D would be a great moment at the dancefloor

cheers for your comments
after coming back here and listening to the track with some distance i see how oldschool it feels compared to other stuff around.. http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/stereofeld-frequenzwechsel "I've always been a believer in musical repetition to draw in the listener and make the music hypnotic.
