Not Quite Sure What Genre This Is, but Here I Go

Share and discuss your LMMS music projects here, and see what people think!
I have put out an instrumental version of my track "Waste of Time." Yeah, not quite sure what genre to call this, as it's too fast for hip-hop, but it doesn't have the punchy chords of a future bass track. Here is the link. https://soundcloud.com/ben-chinn-868309 ... te-of-time. Please let me know what you think, and as the track is a little long for my taste, where I can shorten it. Please let me know if there are any other things you think I should do with it as well. The beat was made using a combination of the LazerBlade sample collection and the Hyperbits Sample Pack vol. 2. Thanks for checking it out!

Wooah! Amazing work dude!
I had no choice, but to like it on soundcloud. :D
Thanks! Like I said, I'm not sure what genre it classifies as, and as I said in the track's description, this is just the instrumental. I plan on recording vocals for it and publishing it on my first album. Any ideas on where I can shorten the track so that the track can remain a decent track, but maybe not a 5-minute track? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

P.S.: I'm also following you on SoundCloud now, thanks for the quick feedback!

1) Maybe somewhere close to halfway in your track, fade out the track, and let
the pad melody play for a while. And since you're doing vocals, you could let the
vocals play, during this part of the track.

2) Then, do a build up drum roll and then bring back, the same main melody of the song,
that plays through out your track etc.

Thanks. I just followed you too. :D
Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion! This song was gonna be a pretty long one, I'm pretty sure I could cut down on the outro too, just do a fade-out of the pads and beat rather than drop the drums and play the pad.

BTW, My favorite part of the Hyperbits vol. 2 sample pack is that vocal that's paired with the cymbal.

That sounds really cool. I'll check out that sample pack soon.

Quick question: Does Lazerblade still make vids?
Fans including myself, haven't heard from him in a while.
Not sure? I can't quite remember where I got his sample collection, but it wasn't directly from him, it was from a dubstep tutorial for lmms, back when I first started using it.

Oh, okay then. Thanks. :)
