Just listening on laptop speakers, so I won't comment on production really. Here are my constructive criticisms.

1. Progressive house actually progresses. I understand it's unfinished but where is it going? I hear just two ideas in it - piano motif and chord stabs.

2. Arrangement. Get like, 10 prog house tunes and count the bars and map out the arrangements.

3. Don't use drum loops. Seriously. Teh suck. Get individual sounds and build up your own loops so you can drop things in and out.

4. Point 2 again, this time thinking about how a DJ would mix it. I would have to do a bucketload of filtering to mix that into anything, basically remixing your tune on the fly to get it to mesh with other stuff. Think about building up your percussion in stages (ala point 2 and 3).

First of all mate i would like to thank you for taking the time out to listen to it and give me feedback! Ya i know its a bit simple in its progression but i just wanted to get a track arranged and finished as a learning curve so i could post it for feedback as this is my first production! I actually arranged it the same as Avicii's track "Penguin" but i agree that i need to listen to a few more tracks before i arrange it to have a more open mind. Also it isnt a drum loop, its all individual sounds that i brought into various Ableton simplers all played in a loop but i understand now that i should bring individual elements in and out to add more progression to the track. This has a been a eye opener for me anyway mate, hopefully the progression will be in my production skills more than the music eh!?
