As I said the first time you posted this, I love the vibe! Now I’m going to try commenting on the changes you made.

The non-bass parts are noticeably louder on this new version, which makes the mix much more balanced overall.

But I still feel the kick is bit overwhelming at some points (for example 2:10). The balance in other places is just about perfect (3:05 for instance), so I think you should just tone down the crescendos a bit.

Just my opinion anyway. I hope other ccmixters will give you more advice. :)

Mmmmm. This is the one I’ve been looking for. Now it’s time to get to work! It would be great to do another version of this - maybe find another perspective. Sweet work sir, very sweet indeed. :)

The only thing I’d say is that it loses it a little @ 1:35 when it’s just the kick, bass and hats. Maybe some background atmos would help out there?
Anyway. I’ll play it over and over just to hear those sweet stabs that come in @ 0:32
