1Overall Description
It can be done but only he can do it!!! If you want a good time feeling this track is for you. It's not quite so detached as your typical Trance tune and yet not the ultimate cheese you expect from most Dance. I say its a pefect balance between Elwood (Mod artist) and Tiesto (Pro DJ and Trance Producer) This goes straight to my digital DJ collection. Son you owned dis! you sent me some serious bliss! Trust me it'll make your girl give you a kiss!
 
2Creativity Description
I won't sit here and tell you that this is the most innovative Dance Track I've heard because that would be a Frakin lie and Slammy would surely Slam me down on the mat like a Sumo wrestler would... well anybody and then that would be the end of poor Zaphy. That said I'd like to say that knowing this genre pretty well I'll be the first to tell you that he has plenty of creative energy here working within the confines of the genre. Every Dance track needs a Bass hook like what is presented from the very start. It's my personal opinion that if you don't grab the listener pronto you won't get very far because no one has the patience to listen to 16 bars of just percussion before the first verse and chorus. Conversely you can't bust out into anything too complex right off because that wouldn't allow enough room for a DJ to get creative with his track mixing. <----- YES THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT SO LISTEN ALL YE WEE LITTLE AMATEURS! This mistake wasn't made here and for those about to dance, I salute you!
 
3Arrangement Description
It starts out with an instantly dance-able groove. On the 4th bar the Hook Bassline fades in and in another 4 bars it wasts no time bringing in the inharmonic mid bass stabs that underpin a high resonance LP filtered Synth chords that dances around the both basses modulating slightly to add color. It really gets going when it drops and shifts your attention to the Piano Chorus. Simple as it is it's the right touch. I just love the Piano Riff that plays right on top of the Breakbeat fill right before the distortion Bass hook gets introduced with a gated stab synth to welcome you back into the verse. This verse Chorus verse Chorus pattern isn't anything new but he does it sooooo well!!!
 
4Sound Quality Description
Your panning and overall dynamics are flawless and no less that pro sounding. I even noticed how you lowered the distortion bass hook ever so slightly to make room for high rez synth chords in the first verse. Everything seems to occupy its one sonic range and I detect no muddiness. Everything is bright and yet warm on the low end.
