Nice departure from your normal style with this one, it's probably the most liquid, chill track I've heard from you
I really like the sweeping pads in the intro, good atmospherics and nice layering.
The beat at the drop is solid, it's rolling but is still relaxed enough to fit in. I think there could be a little bit more variation though.
I really like the sounds overall and there's not much to critique. I think the main thing that's lacking are some stronger lead melodies. It seems like there's some bass but it's pushed a bit further back in the mix. Even bringing out the bass elements already in play would make the tune much more memorable. Also, as good as the pads are I would switch them up or cut them out at parts to add a bit more interest.
Nice half time groove at 5:07, got my head bobbin
Minor crit but I think the beat could use some small fill or sweep to lead into it, maybe a little sub under the kick to give some more boost.
Overall I like the flow of the track and the laid back vibe. I think the end is a little abrupt, I like breaking it down with just the bass but it seems like that section with the half time break would fit better in the middle to build to the climax of the piece.
Overall everything sounds beautiful and all the elements are there, I think a bit more bass and a few minor structure changes would make this my favorite tune of yours

big pads from the intro! good atmosphere, likin the change in direction man, seems as tho as ur actually quite flexible! respect!
i like the drop at 1:30 and it seems to flow well, but the drop itself didn't have enough impact for me, maybe some more work on the buildup, possibly even strip out most the sounds, keep it simpler and then drop? (well thats what i normally do to make a drop more prominenet anyways)
all the synths pads, are nice n lush, musically works really well, would suggest maybe one more lead with like some delay on it for a proper hook (or even a vocal)
fuckin top notch production as always mate, beats nice n crisp, seems as tho its all where it should be
all thats missing for me is a lead or vocal, hook of some sorts sprinkled overall those great pads for the finished sound
Woooo, I'm feeling this one big time.
Gorgeous melodies throughout. Mate, you should do more of this! There's nothing here I can really complain about at all. Perhaps the beats could be filled out a bit more. Adding a loop with hi pass always works well to fill out beats. Also, like Ketz mentioned, those melodies are crying out for some beautiful female vocals. It would really lift the melodies and give it a lead element, which is lacking right now. But even as it is now, this tune is absolutely wicked in my opinion. Even the half-time section at the end is working well. That section would sound perfect on an OTT or Younger Brother album.
OK, after my fourth listen I've now decided this is my favourite of yours so far. Damn, I wish you were working on FL mate!

Love the start vibe ,really deep ,everything sits where it suppose to ,nice wide panorama,nice beats ,wow i like this one big time ! I will put up a bass a bit ,nothing really more for the criticism ,its really pro ,Nice sytnhs and atmos ,love those strings around 4:30 ,really good vibe ,i will see that with some black (no offence to any one) girl vocallist.Beautyfull track
ahh lovin this 1! everything soundin well nice mix wise 2! especially lovin the pads with that nice chord progression. I like the bit at the end with the half time drums, I think that would've worked really well as part of the intro too. also i think there could have been a bit in the track where the bassline develops more without the pads / synths etc over the top. big ups on that track, i want an mp3! tune!

I love it! The intro is nice. I like the drop at 1:30 but it sounds like something missing from there. The beats are absolutely perfect imo. The bassline is fine too. It fits well with this tune. Some female vocals would be nice to my mind too.
intro pads are lush and sweeping, really nice, intro is general is spot on, everything builds up well, comes in nicely,
sub is nice and warm, makes me feel fuzzy inside, man im not a fan of chilled-out liquid dnb most of the time but im liking this a lot.
think i heard some reversed drums in there too, lovely stuff.
drums could maybe use a little more variation to change things up a little, main kick and snare are nice and crisp tho.
musically with the pads and chords, great stuff, really melodic and dreamy.
just seems to be lacking something like a really addicitive, lead synth pattern, to provide some sort of chorus or main hook to it.
overall mix is sweet too, everything has its place in the mix, doesn;t sounds muddy and nothing seems to be fighting for space, best tune ive heard on here for a while man, fair play...this is sweet as!
p.s. the half step section is awersome too towards the end.
Smooth blue skies, with purple & pink elephants, beat comin up, BREAAKKK
crispy cookie
beat are maybe little too upfront in the mix,
but nice master
everything sound like sweet & mellow
First of all. I love these strings. Abso wicked, running through the tune. Got such a nice feel to it. I dont know what you might label it under..intelligent d n b/ liquid? But it sure will have me listening again and again. The break you got running and the bass line compliment it... big up this one ...for real
Dope track overall. It isn't my style of dnb but I enjoyed listening it. I would have tried to add some more power at the drops, it stays to "dreamy" in my ears. Anyway, the beats are just perfect (especially the "halftimepart" is wicked). The intro is just fine too. Keep it up, I want more.
very easy vibe well atchived. not sure if there 2 much high end in the intro with that long open type hihat and the attacking 1s in the break it attually sounds fine till it stops if get me,dont know if thats just me
again not sure if its just my speakers but ent the low end a bit quite ?
dont agree that this is liquid.
just nice deep flows.
the beat (main kick and snare sound), sounds a little out of place with the ambience when they kicked in. something a bit more natural and acoustic sounding beats could work better imo.
btw i can hear a female vocal in there and it sounds fookin excellent.. only thing is, is its too in the background.
bring that bitch out to play and let her shine.
