My two cents....

I think you need to work on the drum sounds a little bit more, they were mostly what caught my ear listening to the track. They felt very mechanical and that seemed to not match the sort of funky feel with the rest of the track. I might suggest playing with the velocity of both the kick and the snare a little bit, help create more of a groove. Maybe tie the velocity to the sample frequency - something to give it some movement. I also felt that snare had a little too much reverb applied.

hey thanks for the listen jadedevan...much appreciated

i agree, this could use some more velocity work, good ear....funny how when you listen 1m times while mixing you (i) can neglect the forest for the trees...

time to go back in and loosen things up a bit

if there is anything you (or anyone) wants heard, put it in here, i guarantee at least one real listen....
