Great intro, love the percussion- definite LHF vibes. Vocals sitting very well in the track.Only thing thats bothering me is the 3 note strings that come in from 0.07 onwards. Part from that great tune!

The percussion is really well done. I have to say though I really don't like this type of music so I'm probably not the right person for feedback, but my only advice would be maybe some more subbass starting at .55s... I can hear a little but not enough IMHO (on headphones). Definitely a solid production though.

-10, might just be the note I chose... I rendered the project without a limiter so thats why you'll probably have to turn up the volume to get the full bass

I always find it's my favourite tracks on here that want the feedback :lol:

Right, love the drum sounds but I feel they could have a little more weight with a bit of a low-end boost.

I like the notes that come in but it still sounds a lil repetitive, in the 2nd part of the drop maybe add some more percussion / usual obvious offbeat ride etc.

Other than that great sounds in this man, liking it.

Thanks for the advice man :W: would you say it's just the kick that feels weak or are there other elements as well?

Love the soft jazzy pad in the background, not particularly fond of the 3 note sax sound like previously mentioned in the thread, sounds out of place. I'd suggest switching up the bongo pattern a little bit in the start, but that is just an opinion not really a pressing issue. =p Kick sounds fine to me, snare could use more pop in my opinion, sub though definitely sound a bit weak, if it is peaking at -10 you could definitely do to turn the sub up a bit. Might turn the delay wet/dry down a little on the vocals as well, they are a bit drowned by the delay however well they are sitting.

Hope I wasn't too critical. >.< Track has a lot of potential man, dig it. :>

I like the swing on this.Really solid groove. The percussion has a very real feel to it. Makes me think of being in a drum circule.

Really love the chords that hit at the first second of the track. The whole atmosphere in the intro made me think, "yeah". Just that feeling when you know you're going to hear a nice smooth roller. But, I'm really not feeling the main section. The instrument (sounds like a distorted guitar to me...) doesn't fit there in my opinion. I think it ruins the vibe of the track and is too repetitive. The percussion sounds very tight, I like it a lot. Maybe change it up a bit though through out...add and subtract certain sounds.
Keep at it man.

Bump the lower end of the eq on your hand drums and throw in a few snares with different delays and reverb combo's to solidify the dub vibes and space ;) Solid tune, definitely feeling the vibes man. Always good to hear other deep stuff posted.
