Not into the first one at all.
That rave synth is too prominent, too thin, and sounds a bit too dry.
Bass is a little too quiet (you still having bass problems?) and doesn`t go down into the sub range

Second one is much better. Nice warm pads at the beginning.
Although the bass seems to work against the groove, burying the kick and killing the funk. Maybe try moving the whole patter 2 notes on?
Nice track, good production, but sounds like many other of the non descript trax I have in my house/chicago/detroit collection.
