I like this.
Funky and deep.
It`s definitely worth continuing on with.
however some of the elelments don`t sit quite right.
There`s no balance between the levels of the kick and the snare.
The snare is a counterpoint part for the kick, yet it is a bit too loud, and a bit too thing.
I think maybe the second distorted kick would work better if it was clean.
Also the kicks overall could have more top end presence.
Strings are lush.
Rides maybe stand out a bit too much.
Yeah, liking it, just needs some proper time spent to get it all working.
