Hmm, I get what you mean.

But from what I've heard, it's also a common "trick" to bring in the lead synth almost solo after the big drop, and after that add the percussion as the song progresses to further enhance the feeling of "go" in the song.

Now that you mention it I have heard that technique before. Yeah the production sounds good I just don't really care for house music so I can't offer much help.

I'd try adding some ambients aswell to increase song dynamics (sound a bit static to me, not really groovie). Something like marching snares or so comes to my mind... maybe you want to try it¿?¿?

I'm not an english speaker (I'm from Madrid "city of wankers"-Spain) so its really hard to describe, sorry if my words are not the appropiate dude, I'm doing my best

laters!

No worries I'm new at it too. Your English is pretty good. I listened to "China Lady", is that a Passion Pit sample in there? The track's not bad, the part starting around 2:10 needs some work. Although I see that you didn't do any mixing, so I guess that makes sense.
