Great track overall - I wish I knew how to make this kind of stuff actually - but the mix is possibly a bit muddy, or at least unbalanced. There's a huge dip in the mids, and boosting it reveals some details that ought to be a bit more present IMHO.

Wow, awesome bassline wobbling around, awesome overall feeling. That's really good. I can't say what it is, but there's something about the frequency balance. Maybe what 2latuile said, a whole in the mids? From 4:00 on may be a good example. The kicks click stands out in the highs and other than that there is more or less that bassline wobbling and some other low elements. My ears aren't good enough to tell though..

Listened to this one in the car yesterday. Really enjoyed it. Arrangement is perfect..

Not sure about the scooped eq side of things, but it didn' make the car honk or vibrate in a bad way. It sounded top class.. everything was clear to me even with the added driving noise.. so I'm not sure what detail that I was missing 🙃

Really enjoyed it. Arrangement is perfect.. everything happens at the right time. Especially like the subtle parameter changes as the track is ending. Slick AF. I'd like to hear stuff like this on the subsekt label also.

Wow, very nice atmosphere. The arrangement is indeed perfect, especially until the break. The track is really label worthy, nicely done.

Gracias Amigos. The mix isn't perfect but that is the best I can get as I'm doomed to produce on Headphones. Pretty happy with the outcome as well. Was one of those tracks which came together very quickly.
Also it was the first track entirely created with my eurorack rig only (apart from the hats & clap).

The bandpass synth sound is really nice.

It's a drum module from Noise Engineering mangled through 3 different filters. The frequencies were splitted by the filters so that its the raspy synth sound and also the bassline from just one soundsource. Fuck knows how I came up with this. :lol:

Kickdrum is DFAM.

Mix sounds good, just a bit of nitpicking: mix sounds a bit 'glossy' overall for the lack of a better word. The noise-ish clap is a boring, some fx and distortion would help, I think. Lowend could maybe use a touch more compression. Kick drum could have a bit more midrange presence.

I guess that's what I wanted to say, but didn't find the right words for it :D

I dig this. I like how it's bubbling away and keeps moving around.

I would personally leave out the clap on the 2 and 4 as it makes things a bit more housey than I think is necessary, but that's of course very personal. I like the parts without it best.

i love this kind of wobbling always evolving and seemingly random lines.
good work.
listening on headphones, and i also think theres something weird going on with the mix..
lowend feels a bit too wobbly and possibly stereo (?)

I can't really add anything other than great work.

It has a very Oscar Mulero-esque quality, which I like.
