Still pre-master version at this moment.

Ya know. This loungy jazzy vibe is cool and you do it really well.
For me, I like producing it myself as well. But for some freakin reason I just can't sit in the car and listen to it. And you have no idea how hard it is for me to complete a track because listening over and over just ...ugh
This track is nice. I couldn't help but pay attention to your kick. Granted it seemed mid rangy in parts but the lowend was lost. Not sure if that was a creative intention or not. To me, it just seemed lackluster.
Sub on the second half could use a little boost but love the progression you take it.
Overall a really chill groove ::thumbs up::

Here's another liquid dnb for my EP if you guys think it's going somewhere.
Need to add a few bits to it.
Good enough for the EP or not?
I'm quite inspired because I'm getting some decent sweeping pads & leeds out of my Roland JDXA lately. Everything here is JDXA except drums and bass.
Not really a WIP. Well the video is. Trying to get some interesting bokeh balls out of disco lights. My lens has a fly-by-wire focusing system so it's hard to manually target focus points reliably.

Dunno what genre this is supposed to be. Ambient-mcprog? lol
I was humming some melody with this wip and, as i could not really find some nice sound preset for the melody, i've decided to record that humming on a phone app :S and tried to pimp it to sound decent... starts at 02:05. Is it bad?

I am instantly taken back to the movie "Risky Business" which had some cuts from one of my all time fave electronic group Tangerine Dream.
That Arp is very reminiscent of a few scenes.
Very Atmospheric but imho that kick is out of place. Perhaps something with the front end cut off, a little flatter.
That sub bass is dope! (Ritchard's been rubbing off on you hasn't he..lol And that is quite alright. He's damn good with that sub!)
Really grooving mix...and you are starting to use a lot of middle atmospheric overtones in your songs now. I also notice your timing and composition is getting better when you are introducing new and different percussive elements. It shows and you get that intensity and build,but slowly.
All in all a solid track. Needs some EQ polishing but that is easy.
Cool Track!
I had no idea what happened on the first attempt. It was ducking and I couldn't figure out where or how. So...tossed it and did it again.
Havne't heard in the truck yet but hoping!
Sub feedback would be appreciated

Yeah the kick and sub bass are competing for mix space. You can try pitching the kick away from the bass line or find another kick sample, if you're not doing the side-chain compressor thing.
With these more downtempo grooves I like a more solid kick instead of a rounded 909. Check out the kick to Magic Marmalade - Again 'N' Again. It kicks you in the gut like Bruce Lee.
