Agree with all comments above, but I theenk your low end's probably okay; I have a speaker that rattles when the bass is overblown, (that's why I never got it fixed, lol) and it didn't get agitated. The general EQ profile seems about right, it's the mix balance that sounds a bit off, to my ear, like that chain-hitting-a-flagpole sample that seems a little louder than necessary.



I do have some notes, for example, I theenk this is probably hiphop or rap rather than electronica. The vocal is losing some intelligibility cuz it's a trifle too distorted; maybe bring the level up and try the distortion in parallel or lower the FX balance? (it might be that the MP3 conversion has exaggerated the problem) Lastly, there's a delay on the vocal that...maybe this was a creative decision, but the delay time has the repeats coming back ahead of the groove. There's no law that says you have to synchronize delays, and it sounds trippier when they're not in lockstep with the tempo, but usually when the delays anticipate the tempo you end up with a groove-challenged mess.
