Deep late night techno vibes,
let me know what you think! Be brutally honest

I don't love the kick selection, I think it's a bit too dry at the beginning.

Then again though, when the bass kicks in at 0:24 it really improves. I like the percussion work, and the tech fills are well done.

The build is really done and I like the variation in the bass near the end of it. When the drop comes back, I was looking for a little more in the high register. Perhaps a lead could already start to form there, as opposed to 1:41 where it really starts to kick in. LOVE the tech fills at 1:47, I'd love to hear more of that as well.

I think with some more bass variation and some more melodic work this could be an awesome track. It sounds really solid so far, nice job mate!

There is a wobly synth in there that i REALLY like! How'd you make it? It happens at like 45 sec. I agree. It sounds muddy/muffled in the low end to me. A different kick would really help.

It's made with massive, it's a pluck bass with 7th note in 3rd oscillator.
Reverb is in it's own channel and automated with abletons autopan

I think the main thing that needs work on this is your choice of samples for the beats and percussion. That thing you've got running through it (that sounds a bit like it's pumping back and forth), and that noise effect on the beginning of every 8 bars I like, but the clap and those noise hits are a bit bland. I agree the kick doesn't sound all that great by itself either.

This has a nice groove to it though, I like it.
