Thanks! Recognisable is good (imho)! I have since 2-3 years found my 
'style' and technique for making tracks which leads to many more 
finished tracks from all my 8-bar ideas. Atm I have around 4-5 strong 
candidates waiting to be fully developed :)

Personally I like the overharmonic sound of the track but it might sound 
better with a bit of EQ. I'll try it out.

I'll check out the kick level as well. It's only a headphonemix so far 
so it's probably not superbalanced :) (although I know my headphones 
quite good by now)

Thanks for helping out!
