    I like a lot of the elements, but overall the groove doesn`t really work.
    This kind of track seems to need a real powerful, strong, chunky and phat percussive groove, but it just has your standard hat shuffle and claps.
    Also the synths are fighting over each other for room and attention.
    Although I see this is early days yet, I would go back and really beef up the beat to super chunkyness, and tame the synths a little.
    It does have a nice feel though, almost kabuki like.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    This is very good indeed... a really nice soulful vibe again.

    I would agree though that the main hats, and the every-other-beat snare/clap that runs through the whole track seem a bit harsh, when they first come in at least... I can also see what Dirtybass says about the synths competing, but I like that - that's the focus of interest in the track and is varied enough to hold your attention all the way through it.

    I'd quite like a nice drawn-out break at some point where the synths just tootled around for a while without the kick, I think there would be loads of interesting ways you could bring the beat back in...

    Lovely stuff

    Sounds good to me. Not my thing but I am sure that many would like to play it. Very good for the summer time style of techno.

    The Synths work separately, each has a flow to it.
    My opinion is get mo perc in it.
    The hi's are quite hi, but I could see Coxy on it defo.

    Really really funky!!!!

    Tho the synts are getting a bit to much for me as the tune is progressing.. but that could just be me... l

    Its only the beginning of a tune so I guess this should be real phat when finished :clap:

    man, like it,. quite a lot :lol: .. nice track, like the synth and idea of the track, but think you could do a break and go somewhere else during the track. synths are nice,same with bass,, but it's still the same to me., would be nice to see some more progress during track,., production sounds very very good to me,. dont have comments,. like it as it is,.,maybe hi's could be little down,,but ok,., cheers,.
