Si - Freebase (unfinished)

[Si.]

Hey here's a new one... Its my first track to post up here so feedback would be much appreciated!

I've no monitors at the moment so the mixdown is done on a set of shure e4c earphones...

Thanks!

Those shures are pretty reliable for mixing.

Anyway, production is very nice. Sounding very professional.

Only thing I don`t like, is the fact that their is no hook to keep you interested.

If this had a stronger more funky main groove over the top, percussively, OR a simple melodic element, or melodic bassline, then this would work much better I think.

As it is it`s lacking anything to hold my attention, or get my ass shaking.

but it is nicely executed.

Thanks for the comments dirty bass... I'll try adding another sound or 2 in there... There's room anyway! Not 100% sure about the room verb wooden sounds that come in at about 3:20 either (well the sounds are actually there all along but its a new variation)... Might try something different. Thanks! :)

[dirty_bass]

I think all the sounds you have used fit nicely to be honest, they naturally fit into the mix, which is a sign of a good producer, as half of the battle of EQing a mix is picking the right sounds in the first place.
The tune simply needs that final element to grab the feet.

:) Cheers man.

I had a go at changing it around a bit... Added in a few more head nodding bits!

Maybe its too cluttered now though?
