    I like the ideas you have going so far... The bassline works, I'd recommend maybe playing with the midi/melody a bit and slightly changing it every few phrases just to keep the listener entertained.. I like your atmospherics too, they fit well. I would also recommend adding a bit of flare to the end of your phrases as well, like lose the last 2 kicks or something along those lines, it will help drive the next few bars forward and keep it smooth. Having the kickdrum going the entire time might be too much, add another one of those small breaks in there somewhere to give the crowd a breather lol. Just my ideas though.

    Sounds like mush, even from the start. Sounds like you're doing that side chained reverb on kick trick, just need to take out some of the lows on the actual verb I'd say. Rest of the drums/percs sound crisp and clean, well done on that. Would personally love to hear some automation of some sort on the bass, give it a bit of movement and character.

    You've nailed the mood/vibe, just need to work on the engineering side.

    Hey Jason, yeah I was having doubts about the sound myself, I didn't use that trick however but I did stack 2 subs and the kick has a pretty long release as well. i'll see what I can do to create more space here and I'll post an update soon. Thabnks for the feedback guys!

    No need to stack two subs, that's just asking for mud. Take one out and focus on that.
