All of your instruments flowed nicely together, but I think there could have been a bigger build up towards your main theme of the song. Then again, it is only a WIP so I am sure you have thought of that. ;)
I'm terrible at reviewing WIPs, because I don't know what the other person has planned for the song. Therefore, I'll end this review now. (I am also in the public library with limited time). Excuses, I know.
By the way, I uploaded a new song incase you are interested.
Lol, thanks! I agree about the buildup thing. I'm proud of it but I do think I could bring it out more without making the song clip. Which is what I find very hard :P.
Yeah I'm pretty bad at reviewing WiP's too, haha. Anyways thanks for reviewing!
I really like this tune, mate. Everything sounded crystal clear, and the melodies are memorable. I particularly like the snare you used. Could you tell me where I can get good snare samples like that one? I would like to use it for my techno project I am working on right now.
My only critique for this song right now is that after the second chorus part, it felt like it dreaded on for a while. I wanted something else to happen, but nothing new came in.
Overall, I thought this was a pretty solid track. You rarely find pop songs like these nowadays. Keep up the good work, bro.
Could you please review me back on my first submission? I would appreciate the feedback. :)

Good to hear! I'm quite proud of the melodies in this song, I think they're some of my best.

Of course. Here - http://www.darkbeats.com/sampleswap/ - is the source of a lot of my drum samples. They're all free, and while they're not exactly professional quality, there are so many drum samples in there that you're bound to find tonnes of hidden gems.
You're not the first to like the snare I used here (someone else said it sounds great when I used it in another song of mine, Town Theme). This one in particular is from the 5000_DRUMHITS.rar library (specifically in this filepath: SAMPLES - 5000 DRUMHITS > ACCOUSTI > AMBIENTS). If you want me to send you the snare sample on its own, just drop me a line!

Haha I have a bit of a problem with that. Once I reach like the second chorus of a song or finish a long section of a song, I start feeling the urge to finish the track as quick as I can so I can submit it here :P. I often end up rushing the last sections of a song. Perhaps that's why you thought it got a bit boring towards the end. Although I do like the tribal-like part right after the second chorus, personally.

Thanks a million, I'll try!

I'd love to. I'm really busy right now reviewing for a competition I'm hosting along with loads of Maths homework so I might take a long while to review I'm afraid, but I'll add it to my to-do list :3.
Your track has a sick groove, man. The bass fits really well along with the percussion. One more thing - there is something odd about your pad. The attack isn't strong enough, and there was too much release on it. I really wanted to listen to that chord progression but it kept fading away. You should keep that in mind for the next time you make a House tune.
thanks for listening and reviewing this little preview!
im glad you picked up the release glitchy, my note's arent long enough(didnt see it until now) and it was lagging too much release(turned it down), but i disagree about the attack tho. i like it slow and progressive.
PS; i have lots of house tune's on here perhaps check them out aswell and see if you like one :)
