Funny, how vinyl noise always catches my ears and my attention.

I like the build up at the beginning but maybe you should add something between 1:00 and the part where the kick comes in.

There's another long break starting @ 2:40 and I think that's great, nothing missing, building tension.

The drums/percussion sounds mellow and suits the song very well, this is chillout, not a dancefloor filler.

Nice work!!

pretty cool, but not something i'd come back to. i'm not a huge fan of house (?) but i am a big fan of chilled out music. to me there's a lot of high end content from the cymbals and vocals and i honestly just get rly tired out from how much high spectrum content there is and how high (vol) it's been pushed up in ur mix.

not a househead so i can't give 'constructive' solutions but my brain just gets weird signals when on the second drop i hear even more high Hz content with the addition of more cymbals... aaaAAAhhh it hurts the ears.

the chord prog is like.. Am --> C --> F ? something like that. let's look at the notes of each

Am = A C E
C = C E G
F = F A C

really stagnant!!! there's so many commons between the two... very little movement musically which is kinda bad because i have to listen to a 5min loop of just i --> III --> VI which is not very chill at all because as soon as i hear it i get bored lollzzzzzzzz


--

personally i am comparing ur track to an old fav of mine i saw played live about 5months ago
https://soundcloud.com/porsches/horses

very chill - very clever play and movement with the textures - chord prog of (Bm) i --> VII --> iv --> III (probably something wrong here like them all being 7th chords or whatever but i dont care) which although repeated all the way through has a constant tug of tension release through downwards step motion chordally, and im really happy to just listen to this forever because there are so many interesting things that just pop up which are intentional composition/production decisions. great tune


hopefully that wasn't too much and i can't wait to be destroyed by people reading this lmao

best of luck with the future tunes

*edit - i listened to this on laptop speakers while lying down on my bed - probably the most chill way to experience music

Nice ambience and overall feel. Too much focus on the mids in the mixdown.
