Just out. As featured on Groovement http://www.groovement.co.uk/2012/05/dow ... all-again/.

Manchester vibes in the area.

Cool track, I like how loose the structure is and the drums are really awesome! The bass is way to wide though and it's probably the one thing that I really don't like about this. Otherwise it's great, I can tell a lot of thought went into it.

Cheers hudson, appreciate the feedback.

I like the overall sound design and atmosphere, the different sounds that you've used are good. I think you could perhaps make the drums slightly louder and maybe try adding some reverb to the snare to make it feel a bit more alive. Also the bass becomes a bit repetitive after a while and feels as if it's continuously building up to something. I don't think you should go for a massive drop, but maybe try to have some more elements coming in and out to mark the transitions between different sections. Overall it's very good.

Im seconding the wide bass annoying me. You have done some clever panning with that high synth as the delay rings out, and everything sounds like its has a good space in the mix except that bass. Seems a waste that you have cleared so much space in the centre of the stereo field and the bass could be there, which would be way more solid. Pretty verb heavy song but i think it lends well to the vibe. Other then the bass i might of chosen a different snare sample, buts thats just taste. Even with these criticisms i listened to the track 3 or 4 times so that tells me the arrangement is solid. Just short enough that i want to hear it again strait after

Big up, jeanblanc! Thanks for the advice. Taken on board.
