Yep, sounds pretty sweet to me. Kinda drags on a little towards the end, imo - the only thing I'd do is perhaps reduce the track length to about 4.30 or even 4.00. Other than day, well done. Nicely produced track, I especially like your beat edits.

Very interesting piece, I like the chill feel.

I don't really like the hihats and rides panned over to my left and right ears. While the panning is nice, I think it's a bit too extreme and distracting.

The rolling snare at 2:40 is a really nice touch Smile

I agree that the piece starts to get a bit repetitive near the end.

I like the string bass that you have, but I think the piece would benefit from an increased bass presence. A more dynamic, moving bassline interspersed throughout the track might be a subtle way to keep the listener interested.

I like the outro with the chimes, it's a nice way of ending the track.

Yer as always Ill take your suggestions on board,
I think I need to leave it alone for a bit and then listen a fresh.
I do think though, we are much more lightly to see the slight failings in a track than most, so we have to remember that.
thanx Smile

Still loving that beat....sounding a bit wider now......
you got some sort of groove quantising on it?

nice edits giong on around 1.40 ish

the strings sound a bit dry to me.......

i like the panning on the hats now for some reason(still maybe a bit too much at times)....perhaps cause the rest of the drums are wider? not sure.....perhaps im just being a tool Teeth

deffo agree to seeing this on some sort of film, a nice light hearted interlude or montage type affair ().....

and also agree that maybe it does drag a touch at the end.....

Hey mate, this is definitly not my kind of dnb! But I had to comment it anyway, really nice work with the hihats/closed on this track! That's what stood out for me the most, good variations on the drums as well. The synths are, well.. really "upbeat", happy like! But they are well done, really enjoyed it! Although it lacks some variation, maybe some more synth work within the same kind of upbeat genre would be good, or maybe, and this would probably be what I would do if it were my track: Since the "happiness feeling" comes across so well, the track could do with some disfunctional bursts of dark pads and heavy drums later on, this way it would be like a story, or a reflection of the human psyche, humanity ain't just pretty flowers and rainbows ya know Wink Well I'm just babbling now, that would be my thing, not yours I believe. Anyway, even though it's not my kind o thing, I really had a good time listening to it Big Grin Keep at it mate!
