i like that synthy bassline without all that melody....
the last piece at the end where its just 1 sweep up bass sound
well....that sounds good....that other stuff before that....eats up all the song
i tihnk....also im tired but i wanted to listen before i slept...if this is harsh sorry....but i dont think it is

so my suggestion....strip away them synth bassy pads till its jsut that 1 dope one and work more percussion around that..

use some percussion that gives you bassy feels....and do some stuttering effects with the percussion....evreybody digs it....always have always will

ok im done...goodnight

nice clean sound, good bottom end and snap on the bass.
the stick in jar sound is very nice, and sounds like a eulberg special.
it's a good mix of styles here - kinda minimal glitch at one end, and warm house vibes at the other, it's a nice blend.

ideas for addition to track, maybe a deep rhodes/detroit pad style lead. you know the big lush sound...
umm,
i'd roll back some of the start of the sample on the rides if i were you, to give less snap, and more warm ride tones.

thanks kenada. that glitchy warm thing is kinda what i am going for so its nice if this comes through somewhat.
thanks for the lead suggestion, i'm havin a bitch of a time coming up with a proper sound and melody for the lead line. just gotta keep at it i guess.
i'll see what i can do with the rides:)
