I really like this! Just my sort of style really. Really like the vocal it sounds great!  One thing though, I found that the bass is quite unclear, maybe throw it up one octave, and if it sounds too high, through a nice sine sub under it and turn it down a bit. And making sure it's in mono can really help.

Maybe try syncopating the bass notes more to the original chords? Adding some variation within the bassline can really add more groove.

Here is a great article that I'd highly recommend for bassline grooves:

Other than that I like it the way it is.

Keep it up man. :)

thanks for the feedback man, i agree with the bass, ive tried a few sounds and up an octave is too high pitched, ill look into it though. Evertyhing under 80hz is mono'd in the master chain so thats all good.

Ill look up syncopation as im not that familiar and will be sure to read the article.

Appreciate your time!
