the bass and low end is slightly muddy and could use more definition and better eqing.

the bassline gets a bit tedious about halfway through the tune, a bit of variation in the bassline would help, especially since the tune overall is very minimal.

great use of atmospherics in this tune. the low end on the bass could use a boost or better eqing to define the low end better.

drums could be louder in the mix, they're a bit hidden behind the bass elements. overall the mixdown could be tighter, it tends to get muddy in some places
