ok, i think i see where this is heading. a nice type of "intelligent" vibe here, pretty nice. i thought that break intro'd pretty nice, but when it dropped i was waiting for another break to thicken up the sound a bit. just the one processed break sounds a little old-school, like progression-sessions type stuff...like i'm waiting for mc conrad to drop, haha.  no seriously, well done with the atmos elements and the little embellishments, like that little riff at 2:04. clearly some attention paid to detail on the composition end of the things. the break becomes a bit samey imo, and the track doesn't seem to carry the punch that modern tracks seem to have, like you're losing headroom in the mix somewhere, maybe w/ the bass frequencies.  from a stylistic perspective i have to give you props, i haven't heard a tune like this ever...it went from 4/4 to swingstep, though the swingstep truly is swingstep, in the jazz sense of the word, haha.  the fill at 5:36 is quantized in 4 even though the prevailing break is in 3, which makes for a little dischord.  i thought the swing step was an interesting break if a bit overwelcome.  the tune outros fair enough, although attention to the breaks and especially the mix could make this tune much better.
