My new song (help me find my genre!)

So I've written a new song, which I call distant memories, and posted it on my soundcloud. You are welcome to critique it, and if possible, classify it in a genre, since I suck at classifying my own music.

The song:https://m.soundcloud.com/michael-cruz-8 ... t-memories

EDIT: I forgot to thank Musikbear, who helped me reduce the click on one of my synths.
2ND EDIT: The link has been updated with the new, LOUDER version of the song

I'd say, that the only problem so far, is the super low volume on this track.

Turn up the volume, on the drums and other instruments. They sound way too low. :P
I had to turn it up alot, just to hear this track. :)
And the synth sound eg. 49 secs to 1:30 secs is way louder than all of the other instruments in the track.

But despite that, the melody and beats are nice.
I like the drum melody. :)

In the case of the genre: I'd say it's a mix of chiptune and some other unknown drum beating genre,
mixed together.

If possible, fix the volume problems and repost that same track, here again, so we can all listen to it. ;)

Thank you for your feedback, I'll make sure to fix it, I hadn't noticed it, it sounded fine on my pc.

Thanks for the suggestion on genre too, I wouldn't have guessed chiptune, considering I haven't used anything closed to chiptune for the song, but I hear it now.

I could totally picture this in a weird quirky indie videogame like super meat boy or terraria or something. Id say its chiptune probably.
I was getting some venician snares except you dont have any micro rolls or any "weirdness" going on with your percussion. Nice work though.

Thank you sir! I also noticed you started following me, and that's greatly appreciated! :D
