quite repetitive with subtle nuances, which, you appreciate, or not anyhow let me know....
snare is putting me off, not bad for a demo i suppose

im planning on releasing these two tomorrow and could really use some last opinions on the mix, specifically the low-end, i said this before but all i have to monitor is kinda broken sony headphones, the foam is fucked up so i get different bass response depending on where they are sitting
here are the two tracks, i know they are weird but any advice would be great and dont be afraid to suggest like +/- 0.5 db adjustments, looking at you raphie. I was just going to upload the 24 bit wav and let people download from soundcloud
sounds good but the rhodes type melodies dont really fit imo - i love that bass sound in the first track that comes in about halfway or so, really nice
Rodri I like that piece, except its too static, needs to keep moving, like maybe some white noise plastered in some side fields and more release I dunno. Also, I dont think that alternating bass synth is working in the track.
Evo8 sounds gr8 as always, maybe the kick is a little too heavy for my tastes.

Better than before but the bass needs some rework, it's clearly the main element but still has too much space and at points sound a bit weird with too much detune or something like that in my opinion. Idea is very cool but i think needs a bit of adjustments.
Juan Palino's untitled wip:
The problem with this track is the problem of most of your tracks, builds to nothing, hasn't got any peak moment.It is very interesting but the high expectations quickly decay when you see it goes forever.
Since melodies is not your thing you could use that as an intro fade it slowly to a break and then drop it with a tech trance bassline, heavy percussions + shakers +hats and some synth stabs that could work very well.
Evo8's track:
Not really my thing this kind of techno, bass may be too present. At 1:00 the drop needs some previous build. The hat sample isn't my cup of tea either. This is what Ben Klock plays and never gave it too much attention don't really know if it sounds as it should.
^ nice atmosphere kick might be a little a lot too loud tho

power! If anything, i think the ride cymbal pattern can be a bit more interesting and maye make the OHH a bit more distinct in some area's . But further great job!

Darek the production is very nice (i think you posted this wip before at some stage it sounds familiar?)
I would lose that reverbed tom sound in the breakdown, doesnt really fit imo
Not sure on the way the song changes after the break? Does it need to change like that? I was kinda hoping it would drop in as it was before the break
Also i would be inclined to boost the very very top end to give a little bit of sheen
I like it though, its very difficult to get this type of track right without being too cheesy
