Absolutely lovely track! Like your choice of snare on this. What DAW you using?

thanks mate that means alot! glad you like the snare too, it always takes ages for me to find a suitable one!

i use a free program to build the tune, but most of the sounds are sampled from records

Really nice tune!

I was kinda hoping for a switch up in the drums when it drops again at 1.50, and maybe once or twice throughout the tune. Even if its just for 8 or 16 bars at a time, I think that would really add something to the tune. Feel as though by half way through I'd heard most of what the tune had to offer.

The sub and bass work is brilliant though. Really interesting and moves around at just about the right times.

Good work :)

@ baddis, thanks for checking it out mate! i think you're right. it could do with more bass now im listening back to it.. thanks for the heads up

@mr echo. some good tips too. ill be honest when i made this i was thinking how id mix it in a set, wasn't really considering how it would sound on its own. i think a few switch ups would work wonders though yeah. i get lazy when building tunes

anyway some wicked feedback thanks alot fellas

not sure what you mean bennyfroobs? im terrible at mixdowns so that might have something to do with it. hope you aint listening to it through headphones though

thanks for listening anyway and ill go fill this with more bass/ switch up the drum patterns. if any of you want a copy of that once its done ill pop it over to ya, probs wont put it back up on soundcloud
