Nice mix, Rikk! Attacky piano in the intro/first verse gives the track it's character. Perhaps a little more mid-range in that piano sound to give it more body would help. Also, bring up the original piano stem in the mix. If you're going to go back and tweak it anymore, give the kick a lot more low end, like between 30-70Hz or so, maybe some attack too in the 8K-10K range. I didn't hear any bass in the track - but that might have been a creative decision on your part, which is cool. I'll take a listen to it some more when I get back home tonight - comment on mine if you get a minute! Thanks - Spikey Jay

Hi Rikk W. Just read your forum discussion that need some opinion on your MC remix. Ok, maybe I'm amateur in music but my ears is a pro. Hehe. If I'm allowed to give opinion...
IBLULT Newest Reemix : I think the piano seems out of tempo. Your drum & bassline is great but it should be more bouncy to balance the song becos you are making the song a bit slow midtempo. More boom boom power u know what I mean..And u might wanna take out the piano & replace with something else? Its overpowering your drum/bass. I think thats about it.
