Hey guys and gals, first post here, not really a forum kinda guy but I know when I need help. So my question is, what am I missing? I've been working on tracks for a while now and I just feel like it's lacking something every time I listen back to one of my tracks, so I was wondering if anybody here could give me some useful tips on how to make tracks flow better or create more energy?
Here is my latest track;
Soundcloud
If you could give it a listen and then some critique on how I could improve it would be much obliged. Thanks all.

Re: What am I missing?
probably I'm the less indicated person to give comments on others track but I feel the lacking of groove. it's like everthing it's too much straightforward.
Re: What am I missing?
Seriously man the best advice is: Practice, compare, redo, practice, read, learn, listen, redo, practice, fail, redo, practice....I think ya kinda know where I'm going with this.
Re: What am I missing?
Hey man it's cool, I appreciate any feedback. Also, yeah it does generally lack groove, that's what I'm asking for help with, groove, flow, energy etc. Thanks for the input mate.
Re: What am I missing?
Groove. Well. You are only using one high hat for a start. Try manipulating the high hat you are using, different reverb, some delays. Different high hat samples (electronic, acoustic, highs, lows, open, closed. Next, your kick is sounding a bit lazy, it doesnt relate to the groove of the bass and the mids at all. They need to correspond with each other in some way. Next, percussion. Percussion is a great way to create groovyness and pace a movement. Claps, clicks, shakes, congas, anything. Your overall bass/mid sound is getting there (though always room for improvement), however it is the drums in this track that are really letting you down. Keep up the work.

Yo Bro
Your Sounds are to basic, they sound like you just launched Massive and done nothing else. You could use some white noise in this track to fill it. Also work on the kick and snare it is vety important to make them punchy 4 this track. Next thing u need a melody
there are no synths and pads in this track. These arem y tips 4 U. I like the idea of the track
if u whant to go co op with this one write me a PM
