Whenever I hear house music I expect to hear those high dramatic strings but since you also do drum & bass, I don't know why you didn't go for a breakbeat sort of vibe as well instead of 4/4 floor.

Dua's new song Electricity gets really awesome at the end with the breakbeat. Before that it's just standard house fare really, but done elegantly.

this is version 2 of the track I've been working on, currently on version 3

Yep still good

the bass is excellent as is that dark rimshot. Loverly tension and cool synths.

Are u looking to get this one signed?

It's funny you mention breakbeat as I've had an aversion to it always. Dunno just never sounded authentic for me, like an ok guitar band white drummer trying to be black n funky but missing the mark.

We always went and got a beer when the club played any breakbeat.

I go off and on with house, I do like the heartbeat 4/4 myself, simple but hypnotic for me.

Thanks for the feedback people. I was after a simple stripped down house of the type I feel plays out well, but I have work yet to do.

nice Gordan, be careful not to have everything wide though

I would have liked a nice touch of room/ambience reverb on the plucked synth but that's personal preference

Thanks Paul, i have added some reverb on plucks and shrink a bit stereo width on vocal.

really like the supersaw type synth that comes in later, the vocals im not keen on, plus they seem too separate from the rest of your instruments
