I like this man. The sub is about right in the mix I think (in my headphones anyway). I'm not totally sold on that snare sound, but maybe it just needs to come down in the mix a little

I like it.  The sub is good and loud in my headphones. The bass portamento (and overall sound) is sweet! Very liquidy, me like.
Is the crackle at the beginning supposed to be there? I can't tell if it's meant to be a vinyl crackle on purpose or not. :)  I'd probably leave it out if it were me.. Or else go all out and make it obvious.
The sidechaining is well done -- makes the mix breathe really well, sounds great.
Nice work!

Thanks man. Yeah the vinyl crackle is on purpose. I find that it fills out the empty space nicely, makes it warmer, in comparison to having no crackle. I tried to make it sound very similar to the track I was referencing. Thanks for your feedback!

Pretty cool idea here. Love the vinyl crack  ;) bass sounds decent in my headphones and think its a dope chill beat. Try maybe layering another snare or clap with some nice reverb on it, and create a bit of atmosphere  :)

yeah man, another snare might sound really good. I have another section that I need to add onto that as well and I might just implement that!
