Si - Freebase (unfinished)

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! :)

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?

Freebase (v2)

Basically what Steve said....does sound very good,really like the production ...just get some hook or sommat in there and ur on to a gooden i reck
