Coming back to listen to this again, I realized that I hadn't given a suggestion for the name. I'm not brilliant when it comes to naming songs but I might go with Takeoff, or something along those lines because the song feels like it's a journey through space. Sounds cheesy I know, but oh well ;p
You are good! Creating good sounds and bring clarity to your songs is not easy (to make good music is not simple). It takes time for you to become good and no one can skip the process. I dont think they will focus on sound quality when you search for the school, I think they will focus on your creative and artistic side. Keep in mind that your are not supposed to know everything before you even started.
I agree with the others, gets a bit too much sometimes. But try to cut down a bit on the gain and perhaps use a little more animation and make breaks or something in the drop to get a nicer flow. But you have a great song and you have the creativity. I think that's enough as it is now for you to have the chance to enter
Thanks man! they indeed don't really focus on sound quality, but that's something i do care about. However, i do have a lot of competition. I'm the youngest person that is doing the auditions. i'm 15 years old, and the most people are well above 18. so I've a lot to fight for.
if i have a lot of good sound quality, that will stand out to the judges( I think). That's why I want as much feedback as possible.
Awesome track, this is really impressive! A few things to consider: For the intro, you could add a simple arpeggio to make things interesting from the start. The hi hat that comes in at 41 seconds doesn't sound like a very high quality sample, I would remove it. I might add a little something more during the breakdown at 1:37, maybe the arpeggio that I suggested for the intro? The clap that comes in at 1:52 is a little dry, I would add some reverb. At 3:17 when the lead melody comes back in it caught me off guard and was a little confusing. I thought that the outro at 3:00 was good, and instead of bring the lead melody back in, I would have taken everything out except some minimal drums. Finally, something that I like to do to make my drops more impactful is to automate the master volume about 3% - 10% lower during the majority of the song and then raising it the instant the drop begins. This can make the drop sound significantly louder. Hopefully these ideas help you. Also, don't think that I disliked the song in any way. I absolutely loved it, I just want to give you some things to perfect, and help you get into that Music Production school. Good luck!
Thanks! i'm definitely going to add a arpeggio. i totally forgot about that. right after i uploaded this track, i put some more reverb on the claps, so thats done. I will delete that lead melody on the end(3:17).
I'm glad you like the track! it really means a lot to me. thank you for your help man!
Nice intro,Liking a lot of the elements you are using in this piece, would be a lot I would use in my trance work, overall nice feel about the track, can see a little where Wobbin is coming from that it does sound little repetitive, not sure what it is called but one element that you have mostly through the track, last of it is when the track cuts out at the end. the part is the distorted sound thinking that is the main part that makes it sound little repetitive...but with saying that I did enjoy your work, track has heaps of promise that's for sure...fav...Peace n respect...mosaic...
Roaming through The Netherlands as well, knowing how heavy it is to live up to the Dutch EDM expectations duo our musical history.. lol just kidding ;)
I've gave the track a few listens and this would be my feedback. I did certainly enjoy the track and think it has potential. If its actually up to Spinnin'/Revealed label their lvl's, I honestly doubt. Maar nooit geschoten is altijd mis, like they say in Dutch :)
- Intro: I would fade up slightly instead of the contrast between 0:06-0:08. So it gets a smoother transition - I personally find the upriser at 0:37/0:38 a bit false sounding. I mean that for me it does not suite well enough and I'd suggest trying to edit/exchange it. - 0:51. A impact or base-drop effect wouldn't sound wrong there. Could be medium in volume so it feels more in harmony with the rest. So not a big loud 'boom'. The rest of the track is quite subtle. - 1:41, same comment as at the intro. Either start of with that sound combination, or fade it a bit more in. I would start with it to give the track a better climax feel there. - Outro, there is not really a outro for me.
Overall does the track feels quite repetitive. Yes you changed the sounds of each section with different instruments/synths and added layers. Which is good! But I feel its still a bit nude and could use some extra instruments/effects/something going on at some parts. It doesn't have much of a 'energy releasing climax' feeling on me and thereby possibly missing out on actually standing out for people who hear demo's and submitted tracks all day.
I hope you find something valuable in my feedback. Please note, I did not just gave feedback, but I gave feedback knowing you aim for huge labels their quality.
Also please understand that with producing, there are not always good or bads. Part of it is opinion, experience and view. Well done that this is created within 10hours btw. I take way longer for a track itself, not counting mixing and mastering in it yet.

Great track!
Love the melody.
Drop is amazing!
Nice synths used.Perfect for the drop
My feedback-
1.The claps around 1:05 and 2:13 dont seem right
Use some other clap if possible
2.The buildup at 0:40 doesnt seem right
3.Nice melody
But it sounds the same all over. Try to do some variations in melody for breakdown.
4.Put some fills / drop the kicks around transitions to make the track more interesting.
This is such a nice track man...
I would recommend you to work a little more on it before you send it to the labels.
Best of luck.
