A new deep house track. What do you think so far?
Cheers
like the feel in the buildup
needs more bass when it comes in at 49 seconds - there is very little sub there
like the house organ at 2.00
don't like the basslines when it comes back at 2:30 - this bit needs to deliver after the little build
percs and little vox samples are spot on
I'd make more of the female vocal
could be a good track if you fix the bass
hope this helps

this is more funky house, not deep but regardless i like this track, few odd notes here and there that dont seem to fit, the little sound that hits on the offbeat before each bar ends is throwing the whole thing off for me, sorry if that doesnt make sense
im listening on my ue boom and the kick/bass is working well and is nice and punchy, other drums good too

This reminds me very strongly of a funkier version of PPK - Hey DJ!

as a reference - there is another layer of bass that is missing in yours. It's hard to get right but crucial for this genre

it's not trance - what do you think?
needs a bit of work in the last 3 minutes
cheers

Probably going to bin this, slow anticlimactic and loopy(wait thats like all my tracks), any thoughts before so?

Yeah. DO NOT bin this. The beat is sexy, the mood is dark and brooding, and the breakdown is creepy and full of tension in very good ways. You just need to write your way out of the breakdown and you're good to go--maybe using those same vocal samples as a big hook on top of all the other stuff.

Maybe mutate that high plucky arp into something dirtier through a build and use that as your lead line after the drop.

The track is not really one I'd listen to, but none the less I commend the brooding atmosphere and mix. Nothing wrong with it per see, it's just not dancey enough for my own tastes.

The vibe on this is pretty intense. Would like to see a deeper kick and possible some sidechained ducking on the bass and possibly lower the bassline volume a tiny bit. The atmosphere is really really good. If you can get the beat rolling a bit more you're gold imo.
