jay pace - matters unsaid

I like this, very dreamy, not detroity you`re right, but it`s own thing, nice and chilled.
Liking the subtle bassline.

Overall I found the weighting of the mix unbablanced.
The top end doesn`t balance with the kick, so everything leans over to the bottom end too much.

The mid range lacks solidity as well. Being devoid of percussion this leaves the synths to fill the mid range, which they do but only in the very upper mid range.

It`s possible you may have too many sounds that are overdriven or distorted which is causing a flattening of dynamics in the mid range also, but I can`t tell too well.

I`d maybe drop back on the high pass or low cut on some of the sounds to give a little more weight to the mids.
The addition of a mid range synth or percussion with a little punch in the mid would help.

Do like the main 'whooo whoo' sound that is kinda talking to you, in an abstract sense...

Agreed on the structure point you made and certainly prefer this principle when on the dance floor...

...reckon you could introduce some more top end skip into the tune at about 4mins for about 45secs to 1min, which would add to the layer you bring in a few bars before the kick comes back in... this will make the dancefloor skip that little bit more also, without being a cliche, before you move into dropping the tune dreamilly away...

Nice work...
