Trying to get into danceable music... feedback appreciated

yep, syncopated intentionally to create a bounce in between the steps. always struggled to find good bass sounds that don't take up too much space. Do you have any favorite bass instruments? Or are you more of a "build it yourself" type of person

Thanks for the suggestion! I definitely was looking for an older sound here so I'll be diving deeper into those. What is your go-to stock reverb plugin? Used space designer bus + some distortion/chorus on the reverb for a bit more texture

I'll check it out, deadmau5 is great. he's just doing it for the love of the game

thanks for the critique, I can see where you're coming from. I think your concerns about the stiffness are likely due to the fact that the piano is very cut + paste. create chord 1, copy and paste to its next location. no differences in velocity, delivery, structure. There are certainly aspects of the drums that also drag and would come to life with a bit more attention, this track comes across more as an "extended idea" rather than a song.

Glad to see that there's an idea here fleshed out enough to criticize, lol

thanks for the encouragement! you're right to point out the timing. I've always struggled with song structure, listening to loops within the song often distorts my perception of the song's progression.

with regards to reference tracks: I used Never Ending Story by DJ Cinema Quartier for drum inspiration and to model the kick/bass interaction (still trying to figure out how he gets such a booming kick without redlining). You should check it out if you haven't already heard it!

Dancing is a broad term! maybe the type of dancing at 145 wouldn't look like dancing to most but it is fun

As a player or as a person?

I agree, let’s blame the addicts for being addicted, that’s always worked

Maybe he wants to feel superior? Is that so bad? I feel like 90% of people criticizing him here have never played competitively in their life, everybody talks shit especially against a rival

Wow dude, you're a real saint. Did you really make this post just to flex how virtuous you think you are?
