Here's my first little attempt in producting minimal tracks... it's just a small part of what I'd like to do, but there's a long way to go, yet... just let me know what you think about this, what's good and what sucks

awesome track, I have to say tho, the begining takes too long to develop and the main part is too short. I'd say either shorten the intro or extend the whole track cause it's just enough to tease and get your heart pumping but not enough to fully please

first of all, thank you for your suggestions

As I said this is just a work in progress, so your contribute and thoughts are very important to me... the main part is so short just because I haven't worked on it so much, yet... stay tuned for the next days

my first thaught: the track lacks the power that it should have i think, the overall is good but i think it need some changes:

my suggestions

- first the kick needs some more bass

- main bass needs a bit lowered in volume

- at 2:00 when the real grooves comes in i think it needs another (stronger) clap/snare

- snare that comes in at 3:00 sounds a bit cheap, doesnt match the song

- maybe make a break later in the song, do some cool stuff with the vocal there

hope u can do something with it

I agree with the suggestions posted. Overall the track has a good feel but lacks punch.
Some suggestions:

- try to compress the mix a bit
- 8.26 is a quite long time. You should consider more changes in the tune to keep the listener's attention
- some sounds could be better (expecially the drum ones)
