Nice one Ben. Minimal with a proper kick drum,

Well this is the first time I have tried to write something constructive about someone else's work properly in months. unfortunaley it apears not to be the done thing here anymore. forgive me if you think what is write is bollox but like you said it might start a chain of thought.

I like the weight of the bottom and of the kick, something that i find missing from so many tunes in this style. it fits so well in the mix with the synth part you have playing from the start. The bass is nice, with a riff that gives it room to breath.

Your hats that come in @bar 65 sound like they have too much verb, with no definition of the transients. on the contrast to this @bar 105 you have some hats that in my opion are too dry but have a nice gritty sound to them, unfortunaly they get lost under the ride, maybe try eqing some more off the bottom of the ride.

You have a nice mid stab with i belive some delay on, starting @bar 17 i think, Im not sure but could do with being a db or 2 louder. Also there is a nice synth fx @bar 145 that may be a tad too loud, a good test i use for this is to turn the speakers right down, untill you can just make out the diffrent parts, then turn them down a little more, if any elements jump out at you they are probably too loud.

The synth playing the top end percussion @49..... sounds really lush and clean, sits well in the mix . my favourite sound in this is the lead @97 that i can only describe as a wobble board.


Btw good job as i had to listen a good few times to this to be able to comment this much on the production,

Are you still using orion? and am I being too cheaky if i ask if i can do a remix?
