Sounds good, and I'm glad to see you back to writing your own melodies instead of remixing pop tunes :)
I really like the melody, but I feel like the track needs a bit more of this infamous, nondescript "energy". Making the offbeat hihat a little louder (kind of falls out) or adding a drum loop might help. I think a drum loop with bongos would sound good ;O

the little background vocal noise thing has really nice uplifting progression, but I think it could be a bit louder and more upfront
what DAW did you use? you should send me the file so I can try and master it :)

The melody @ 2:15 is nice. Gotta love the old skool bell sounds. One thing that stands out is it does seem like the ride is too loud on the kicks.

Thanks Mortis. I do like having a nice ride on the kicks, but as I've heard in mixes, it sounds too different from other tracks.
