Optik, great call, is this bass now killin it or not?
this is more funky house, not deep but regardless i like this track, few odd notes here and there that dont seem to fit, the little sound that hits on the offbeat before each bar ends is throwing the whole thing off for me, sorry if that doesnt make sense
im listening on my ue boom and the kick/bass is working well and is nice and punchy, other drums good too
as a reference - there is another layer of bass that is missing in yours. It's hard to get right but crucial for this genre

Yeah. DO NOT bin this. The beat is sexy, the mood is dark and brooding, and the breakdown is creepy and full of tension in very good ways. You just need to write your way out of the breakdown and you're good to go--maybe using those same vocal samples as a big hook on top of all the other stuff.

Maybe mutate that high plucky arp into something dirtier through a build and use that as your lead line after the drop.

The track is not really one I'd listen to, but none the less I commend the brooding atmosphere and mix. Nothing wrong with it per see, it's just not dancey enough for my own tastes.

The vibe on this is pretty intense. Would like to see a deeper kick and possible some sidechained ducking on the bass and possibly lower the bassline volume a tiny bit. The atmosphere is really really good. If you can get the beat rolling a bit more you're gold imo.
