Hey ppl, as part of a project I'm working on I need a danceable house track. So here's what I've got so far. The main hook I suppose, it's a loop atm but would be built up to this as the most intense part of the song.

*Volume is LOUD, check your speakers first*

Does it feel like a track you'd hear in a club and likely dance to? I've listened to it so long now I just don't have an unbiased ear.

Mastering is horrible so far, but I'm getting a pro to work on it sometime. My apologies to audiophiles.

I really like it. As to being danceable I'm probably the wrong person to ask, I am very picky when it comes to what I dance to and it is nearly exclusively rather hard and fast and very prominent straightforward beats. Also I haven't danced in ages, should really go out and do that again some day. Too bad the clubs around here are all rather sucky these days.

I would enjoy hearing your track in a club though, even if it might not make me dance I'd say it probably can lure lots of normal people on the dancefloor.

Doesn't sound danceable to me!
It's like an electronic ballade (good for movie ending credits).

It's definitely not a house track, unfortunately. And it sounds more like game music than anything that would be played in a club. It's not bad game music, but that's just the vibe I get from it.

House music is basically the same thing as disco, but often with jazzier timing.

Sorry dude. Good dance music is harder to make than a lot of "proper" musicians give it credit for.

I don't know what you guys are talking about! If I was a level 16 blue mage who just ravaged a party of angry monsters, I would so get down with this tune.

It is nice so far, but maybe a little too...spacey...for dancing? Dancing music seems to be more aggressive and throbbing. While I like what you have now, the smooth timbre and melody of the synths on top and the slightly slower tempo make this less dance-like and more chill-like. The chords in the background might also be better a bit louder or less muffled. Maybe that's what you intended. Keep working on it, regardless.

Thx guys, got heaps to think about. Your feedback is always useful.

I've been told it sounds like game music before, and I can totally understand your ideas everyone, it helps immensely. Thx again.
