shift in hay -
deeper kick for sure... it sounds pretty ordinary at the moment, like way too thin. i like the groove to this, maybe try reversing some of the big effected sounds used in there, for a changeup/bridge, that'd be nice. it's like this track is in a permanent transitional state - like waiting for something to happen, and the chord droped after the breat at 2:30 is not what i was looking for, and sounds a bit out of place for me. it's good, but not going anywhere, it needs more movement and to enact the transition it seems to be promising.

nice deep bass in this one. but the kick is still too thin. and im getting some high end sharpness in this one, try cutting like 2 or so db across 3-7khz, and roll off after 15khz. it's got a dexter by villalobos vibe to it, in some respects that is. i like how the beat gets going a bit more in this one, how it opens up with the filtering on the leads. althoguh im not a huge fan of the lead opened up like that, i prefered the sound filtered down. maybe try having the initial lead deep, and then introduce a copy of it with a new synth, and have that as the high end, something organic sounding like the original.
just some thoughts.
