Piece that we have to master

This week we have to master an electronic piece and luckily we are able to try it on one of mine. The piece I chose is fairly weak sounding on purpose and lacks a lot of punch, however might be able to be pumped up a bit with mastering. I haven't started mastering it before I posted this up so this is where I'm starting from too:

Enjoy! :D

When approaching mastering, it helps to think about it in a John Cage kind of way. As you said in your previous blog, "All Cage needed was a bowl and some dice, as well as 1-2 well prepared mushroom meal ideas." Forget multi-band compression and EQ. All one really needs to do is bring on the mushrooms, sit back and imagine that your mix has already been mastered. Future tense. I know this is advanced stuff. But I feel you're ready for it, Johnny C.

Your blog should say somewhere: "The piece you are now hearing is John Cage's 4'33"
