Massive amount of respect in the first place for being an Irish producer - they're few and far between. A breakdown of your DAW/plugs/samples used would be nice.

Obviously you're a big Kitsune/Ed Banger head, not my cup of tea these days but you seem to have a reasonable grasp of arrangement and can replicate your vanilla genre synths and one hits quite well.

However, I think you really need to work on your post-production. Proper EQ'ing and mixing is in order - pull back a little on the compression as well, especially if you've some sort of hard knee slapped on your master channel. Free up frequencies, give your mix a bit more headroom, and take every channel down about 5%, making sure your Master is at UNITY.

Roots 3:18 - 3:20 = I can almost guarantee your piano is hitting redlining your db meter, peel it back a bit. Bass sound that comes before is nearly like a GM preset off a yamaha keyboard, swap it or distort/bitcrush it or something.

We are (One) = Side-chain compression 101 I hate this sort of repetitive electro tune, but even so this is definitely is too bare-bones and needs some automated LPFs et al. to spice the mix up a bit. Check out 'Television Off' by Boys Noize for a masterclass on this.

Zero = DON'T SAMPLE THE BEST 12" EVER MADE. EVERYONE is going to be automatically comparing your tune to blue monday, and thats just a battle you can't win. Again, not my style of tune and learn to lay off the sidechain compression - sounds like you've a glitch plug across the master in parts.

have taken all things on board ! thanks for taking the time to listen to em all. i really need to sort out the post production side of things , would anyone have any advice where i would go about learning that side of things? im fairly in experienced when it comes to that stuff in general.

The way ive made them tracks , is by writing them on a midi program called Guitar pro and then put the midi tracks through reason.
