Kind of chilled, moody breaks...

Theres one addition to go in and thats some gritty electric guitars with some... still playing around with that - but this is it pretty much complete

I like it, very hypnotic and exotic.i like the idea.Definetely like the rythm.

Now, here is what I would do and it may not be what you are going for.

After the break I would drop out or change that pad sound and drop in that electric quitar you were mentioning to make it progress towards the end.I would also make the pad sound wider and more sparkling to make the mix sound fuller and maybe just a bit more compression to make the mix more togeher.

Just an idea, hoppe it helps......

good stuff... it definately could be built out to a blackdog track. (old plaid)
it has all the basics for it.
in my humble opinion this asks for some dope acidlines and then a colouring freaky melody on top of that, and in the break let the basskick+shaker do it's thing without that woodtick that is there almost all the time (maybe filter this sometimes?)
the scream could be less in there probably half the time is sufficient I would say or also vary this with some filter of some sort?
quality shit nonetheless !!

Very cool, I really like the way the vocals sit in the mix.

small chance that you don't know what I am talkin about, if I say black dog?; then check out their album called "spanners"
ultimate classic in this kind of stuff. (an inspiration to bring variation)

Almost reminds me of some old school inmdustrial, and that's not a bad thing.

especially that album and then numbers 3,5,10,18
they all have a stroke of genius; allthough it takes some understanding.
it's not your normal cup of tea


really curious what you make of the track!
