They both work, but in different ways. My personal preference is the first one, without the hi-hats. The first one has a Progressive Breaks feel to it, whilst the second one has a more House (or Progressive House?) feel to it.

Thanks, I'm trying different settings in Audacity and MPC essentials.

You've got good flow, man. I really like them!

I like the second one more, mostly because it seems like your voice is drowned out a bit in the first one, comes out clearer in the second.
