This one is very good, but I agree with Red. It ins't quite House. The drums are either Jungle or Breakbeat. The Bass are kinda Dance or EDM (in a Bossanova sorta way) and the leads are Electro or Tracey (in a subdued, Dreamgate sorta way).

I really love it's overall composition because everything is so upbeat it gives this an added energy.

If you wanna make a House track just remember a few things/tricks...

Drums- The more basic the better and be sure that they have a heavy emphasis on the kicks, the hi-hat, and a third (like a clap or cowbell)

Bass- Usually mimics the drums with a basic theme (but sometimes its cool to lace other aspects into it, like an additional channel of just a flowing up and down, humming tone). Think of the kick as Boom and the bass as Bum and try to have them interlace on another like Boom, bum, boom, bum or bum bum bum, boom, bum bum bum, boom.

Once you have these two the rest just kinda falls into place easily. This is where you start to picture what the song so far reminds you of genre-wise with other stuff (like does it remind you of Latin America and Salsa-type stuff or does it seem darker and grittier, where Urban or Industrial styles would serve it best).

It's also keen to keep in mind House's roots and how it sounded in it's infancy. So giving it a soulful, retro, or disco feel adds to it's appeal/flair.

Sorry for that long ##### lecture thingy. I really like this tune man. May even D/L it. Lates!

Thanks for the review. I mix genres all the time since I don't know just what makes one or the other different. Do you know where I can find good descriptions of what makes a track one thing or another?

Description : A fusion of different sounds on this track that i recorded at 120 BPM. Rap instrumental dance track that flows smooth. Has futuristic electronic feel to the track. Be the first to put your lyrics on it and pave the way for the new sound of Hip-Hop.

Description : Wanted to create something like Daddy Yankee's track 'BOTZ' that he uploaded 5 days ago. But in my own style and with English lyrics. Hope you enjoy my version! Love is the only language and message. This is a reggae-ton club track! Hope you enjoy the Latin mixed with Indian feel.
