off the bat I like what I hear. Lush pads and a bleepy thing. dark drums. quiet dark drums.. hmm.. ah. the whole track is really quiet. What bitrate is this mp3? It sounds low. I can't tell if it's the mp3 or if it's your breaks/samples.
That sounds like a rough start, but I really like this track. If it just sounded crisper (which I don't think is you, I'm pretty convinced it's a low quality mp3..) it'd totally be something I'd play. Right up my alley. One of them anyway.
LOVE the arrangement. As I said, very much my style, but more importantly, it's just plain good. It stays interesting without going off on too many tangents. It knows it's identity, and it makes us know it. Nice drum programming, nice sample placement, good basslines, nice breakdowns, it's got the whole package.
It's going to be difficult for me to pass judgement on the mix. It doesn't sound like anything is clashing, and that's the big thing. It does sound like maybe the sub is a tuch too loud, tiring my ears a little, but that's a good thing, in that you wrote a great subline, and now that you know it's there you can bring it down a little and let the sub do the work rather than forcing it through the little speakers. I'd love to hear this in a higher quality file.
Mix= 3.5
Arrangement = 4.5
