Hi Eighteen, I appreciate you listening and your comment. I actually felt the same way "jazz club" after stepping away and later listening to it again. I had a lot of fun making this track and glad to be getting good feedback. Now, get back to work. :)
You have a great feeling for this genre man, this could be on the radio.
nice small details also like the little stars synth you hear every now and then :)
Thank-you Eighteen. From the response so far, it looks like I'm heading in the right direction on this track. I really must try to write the lyrics for the other two verses. That's going to be the key to getting this one finished. :)
Thanks for the comment, Eighteen. I agree, the use of the flute and, in fact, the french horns in a pretty traditional dance track is a bit weird. At least I think it is. I haven't had much time to listen to the latest stuff for quite a while, so am feeling a bit out of touch with what's current. Was listening yesterday to Beats 1 radio on Apple Music and was quite surprised by some of the "new" tracks that are considered to be cutting edge stuff.
Anyway, no the vocals are built-in phrases triggered by preset vocoder patches in the Icarus synth plugin. That synth makes it pretty easy to create new vocoder patches that use vocal phrases that you record and the built in synth engines in the plugin. I haven't actually tried that yet, but I intend to do so when I get a bit of time. A couple of years ago I recorded about 30 or 40 short phrases that could be used with vocoder apps. Setting them up as inputs to a vocoder signal processing plugin is a bit complicated, but I think that Icarus greatly simplifies things. Different approach, because it works within the instrument plugin, not as an audio effect plugin.
I did some research on vocaloid for Mac. Looks like I'd have to buy the Steinberg DAW in order to use the Mac editor. Then, I'd need to bounce the resulting track to audio and import it into Logic, which is the DAW I use. I need to do more research to see if there's a cheaper and less complicated solution. It really is something that interests me.
I like the vocals alot in combination with the music, the production is very crisp, the only thing is that in my opinion is the sub near the mid and the end are a bit underwelming and/or too soft.
Nice song, I like the adding part of the drums.
A tiny bit repetitive though, but since I usually do that as well I'm not the one to talk about repetitive :)

You just gave me an idea... Make a tune based off of the actions/combos of a Tekken match or something.
Many thanks for listening!!

on Give it to me by xAbrahamx
at 1.01 u totally took al of my attention. the way that kick comes in is really nicely placed, with a lot of power.
melody at 1.17 is a real nice add to it, simple but sounds really nice, then I hear short vocals, all good :D
after that u lost me a bit till 3.56 , took my attention again with the hammering sound and kick .
all in all this is just how I listen to music, but for what I heard, I love this track a lot, everything sounds very clear like it should.
Really nice job, I love it!

The flute combined with the rest of the track is a weird combination but a very good one nonetheless.

Very nice job man!
Cheers!
