How's it going guys?
So, i started this new fullon track two days ago, and, i'm quite confident, but before i go on, i want some tips from you guys, maybe theres something i should correct, as well, i list my mixing headphones, so i'm using really cheap ones, meanwhile.

I don't say this normally, but the bass could hit a little less hard and still sound sick... but... it DOES sound fat! If I was still making much trance I'd be asking you what the fuck your EQ curve looked like .
This is groovy. Could definitely deal with this in the morning, once my appetite for twisted&nighttime was sated, and I craved uplifting and energized.

Hahha Oh Loki~
My EQ curve actually is quite ok, no frequencies boosted more than 3-4 dB
but you know.. dem multipressors man.. dem multipressors... mmmhhh.....
they are the only comressors i actually CAN manage btw. So all my leads are uncompressed~ :|
The melody is a nightmare for me... Already heard that lead/bass sound hundreds of times, now I'm tired of this style.
I liked very much the equalization of the bass though. The kick is lacking somewhat in my opinion.
Keep on with the good work by the way, if this is your genre...

I like your imagination and appreciate the effort you put into this track. You like happy and energetic music and have found how to make tunes you like (that's all that counts).
I think there is a crucial part of psy missing there, it gets a little tectonic. This is something I realized a couple of years ago and it works out fantastic: rhythm synth sections. All the synth and lead lines I hear in your songs are full of notes and melodies and I believe you forgot about this. Usually they are simple one note patterns (that might follow the bass notes) and bring a fantastic effect and energy to the tune (something like just pressing one note in vanguard with it's gate plugin activated).
This can help counterbalance the aggressive and happiness of the track, and you can have your melodies counterpointing these rhythm layers. I often make a FM'ed really fkd up squelch sound that sound anything like a melodic sound, and try to get rhythms out of that. Also, you can really take advantage of automation this way, because the melody isn't doing much.
