Thanks for taken the time to listen lads..yeah we have played around with a lot of styles & sounds in the past,some of it would be soulful/ funky..As i was saying this is our first song as a house music group so we dont havent released anything that would be soulful/funky yet, were trying out a lot of things from dubstep/house to electronic music..just trying to find our sound

If your really looking for production tips and not just promoting your track you should post it on the production forum at the top of this forum.
from first listen you guys have no high hats between the kicks and your snare(if there is one)is non existent.

Only new to Boards.ie so I wasn't sure where exactly i should be posting this. Thanks for taking the time to listen and give us feedback, There is no snares or high hats in this production. This is intentional, it comes down to preference as a producer and were going for a Calvin Harris/Swedish House Mafia like sound. The primary sounds are kicks and hand claps and that's the sound we went with for this song. We are working on productions that have snares and high hats but personally I didn't feel they were right for this song.

So you're not looking to make actual house music so?

Needs a few more random stabs here and there

Why are you calling yourself a 'house' group? That's not house music.

I think most people that would listen to your music, and to the Swedish House Mafia's music, wouldn't know what house music is. So why call yourselves that?

That's an honest question by the way. I don't mean any disrespect, and I wish you lads every success. It takes initiative to make a go at something.

I went through your other two tracks on YouTube. From a production point of view they sound better. They're still very commercial sounding, but they don't sound as amateurish. I normally wouldn't listen to that type of stuff, but for what it's worth I think you should stick to the dubstep type material. Rapping over 4x4 beats does not work.

We started off just messing around with various styles and sounds, Thats what the other 2 tracks are. Just trying out stuff to see what works and what doesnt. As ive said were completely new to this, Were developing our sound as we go along. Is this out and out house music? no its not, but this is the direction we want to go. Were making new music all the time and we do have songs that are solely instrumental and would be a lot harder on this one.

This is why we posted up this song though, Its our first tune where were going in a more dance direction and we wanted to get some general feedback. Everything that has been said here will be taken on board because thats the whole point of it, Listening to peoples opinions and trying to improve.
