Danke

Cairo - "Lottery Mentality (Cairo RMX)"
props:
+you got the vibe of the original quite well! glad you kept the dreamy vocal breaks but added reverb
+bass is warm and warbly, fits this track well! i like it more than some of the soft wasp synths
+panning break (@2:10) is done very well
+jumps back in at the perfect moment for me after that break
+decent automation for the second drop
advice:
-eh, the drums... if you're going for a chillout mix of the original, you're spot on... but to be honest it would take quite a bit of work to top the drums in the original.. i think you could do it but it would take many more grace notes and surprises
-second drop left me wanting more, not really feelin the groove
-main bass is well done (that was my only prob with the original) but you need something like that deep synth that soft wasp brings in second to really capture the darkness
-drags just a bit, trancey but would remind me that my legs are tired once the song hits 4:30 or so..
-was looking for variation or a deeper darker synth to come in, the automation in the second drop is leaning in the right direction
overall:
=i like this mix! you definitely hit the nail on the head with the main bass.. however i'd work on those drums! people that have heard the original would be looking for you to step it up and try and top them, which would be a feat but would result in EPICness... also, with a deeper bass with less resonance layered or alternated, this would DESTROY... really headed in the right direction tho!!
much love
