So I decided the best way to review a song is to listen to it while writing the review. How obviously simple!

I love the introduction. It's very deep and compelling, and then shifts cleanly into some powerful snare and bass. The humming sound is my best friend, as it always guarantees a shift in the music afterwards. I love how the bass and snare drown out slowly and leave the piano to stick its own. I kind of want to hear the piano a little louder, but perhaps it would be off sync with the volume of the rest of the track if it was. The ups and downs of the track are well done, and whether the track is in a high or in a low doesn't change its overall power.

A couple complaints. I believe the mix sounds a little bit repetitive as the main beat of the song loops through about a good...70% or so of it. It does shift from a hardcore feel to a techno feel about half way through, and the volume and intesity constatly change, but the overall beat was still the same and still a little bit repetitive. I guess what I'm asking for is a little bit more originality with the beat. Stick that remix in a blender and see what you can make!

But understandably, since this track is by a newcomer, I shant expect top of the chart compositions. This is definitely a good start to an infinite amount of potential for the future. And so, I pat Rozovian on the back and say, "Make more you son of a gun!"

good sounds - overall a very enjoyable mix

the constant drum loop works - but i would def work on changing it up more in future mixes and having more dramatic transitions

the melodic and harmonic content is your forte and i really enjoy your added touches and instruments you choose (they're very expressive and for lack of better words engaging and beautiful) - but the drums and energy are what you really need to focus on - and feel free to push the extremities of the dynamics more

All I can say is this... IT'S ABOUT TIME SOME GAVE RED CANYON SO REMIXING LOVE! Well done for a first mix. I would agree that some areas are a bit repetitive for my taste BUT some musical styles require such nature.

Love the bassline throughout. It really drives the mix, no pun intended :P

Good choice of synths, everything meshes well. Would have liked more done with the drums, they are the weakest part of the mix. Agree with Dshu, more eggshaker!

Key change also works surprisingly well, even if it is sudden. Nice work, and welcome aboard.

Great song, I'm loving the feel of this one. Very crisp, very clean. At first I thought the bass come off as a little strong but it works out. I think it gets busy and empty at just the right points, and its a very unique take. They key change was a great idea. I'd happily have this on in the background. Also I love the eggshaker, and the effects on it make it awesome, reminds me a little of this awesome song I heard ages ago called Bad Behaviour. Don't think anyone would've heard of it...anyway compositionally sometimes it feels like the instruments should do a little more in areas, but where it counts there's enough support to make the leads enjoyable.

I never review, what am I doing lol.
