hey ronan

i just had a listen to your track and here is my feedback :)

(by the way so you know im not entering this competition so you have nothing to fear from me competing haha)

it didnt really grab me from the start, but at 3:19 when its mostly just the bass and the kick, i think it would work really well with abit of distortion filtering in and out and then when they build up comes in build up abit of a heavier more pumping drop (the sort you hear when your out in a club and your just gagging for it to drop so you can dance like crazy to it)

depends on tastes really, but i think personally, play with distortion and filtering more, like what happens near the end when the synth comes in at the 5:20 ish mark, i really like them bits :D

Other than that when the intro is over maybe drop something big after about a minute so people havent listened for long when they hear something that grabs them

well done though :) hope you can find some of the feedback and suggestions helpful, or you can totally ignore them, its up to you, your mix :)

best of luck with it, post back if you do make any changes or anything :D i dont know how the competition is being judged (voting or just a panel?) but i think the remix needs to grab them hard let them go alittle bit and pull them right back in :D

Thanks for the feedback Ribbed - really appreciate that sort of constructive feedback as gives me a few ideas into production tips I wouldnt have otherwise considered. Really like the idea of the distortion running in and out for build effect.

Hi mate!! I've just listened your track, it's very good. How did you make that the bass matches the track for me it's 85 bmp and I can't use it even if I change the bpm...

Hey.
I like your remix!

The sample/main hook thing you've used isn't in the mongoose track, but from another track... I do recognise it though from a sasha set.

Click warp off and on and remove all the auto warp markers. Then click warp to start a fresh. They are at 125bpm... The tunes in E also if you need that.
