see we're getting somewhere now.  this is the 3rd or 4th track that I've been pretty impressed by.

arrangment: I would have liked more of the dirty-er section that happens about halfway through, and this track could have probably benefitted from a breakdown section seperting the 2 vibes. (like, intro/main light part/breakdown/main heavy part/small break/outro, or whatever)  I like the leads especially, reminiscent of some of the john b/beta catalogue there, which I've always been a BIG fan of.

eq-ing: there needs to be more fluidity between the 2 step break and the ameny break frequency wise.  The whole thing could probably use a unified snare to help tie the two together.  I also thought that the high hats through much of the first half were too loud, and may have too much mids in them.

I'm gonna go ahead and give this a 7.5.  It's good, and I mean it, but it does still need some work.
