Aquatic (WIP)

General impression

Good solid base to get a full track out of it.

Mix advice

Just on point imo.

Arrangement critique

As it is only 3 minutes I like to see the track evolving a bit further with additional elements. The main organ is a nice call, but it could benifit a good response. Maybe with another synth, bass or vocal (spoken word) in the big break that isn't there yet.

Sound selection

Great sounds.

Groove

As I am more techno, trance and rave influenced the groove is there for me. But I could imagine someone likes it more swingy...

Label / artist suggestions

Release it on your own label when it's finished

General impression

The kick is very nice and full. Love the dreamy pads, good atmosphere. The organ synth could probably do with a call and response kind of thing. A thin key/lead responding to the consistent hits of the organ. I'd there's still room for a mid bass to complement the sub bass.

Mix advice

Mix is pretty tight not gonna lie. The organ though maybe sounds a little on the harsh side. And there is room for one or two other elements I'd say in the mid-bass and high range.

Arrangement critique

I get how the beat is the main thing and has all the elements in it from the get go, but I'd say leaving the open hat out for the first half and then introducing it in the second half will give a lot of energy, same maybe goes for other beat elements. When I make a drop, I tend to experiment with how simultaneously the elements start. So I might leave out the first open hat, or start the clap one beat before the drop.

Sound selection

Quality samples I think, very good.

Groove

Bit on the rigid side maybe. Could use some swing, some joie de vivre outside of the normal template for house beats. Maybe a drum fill here and there. Have you tried the Dr. Fill VST?

Label / artist suggestions

The one thing that I wouldn't really dare comment on, since that's the hardest part. Does remind me a bit of Gudj, Lukea, minimal house kind of vibe although this is a bit faster than that.
