Hi,
I have, sort of, a record deal...., but have to mix it myself. any feedback will be appreciated. am concerned especially with the low end. for now, i'm using Trilogy Bass but hope to replace. Also, hope to add a real guitar. thanks!

Arranging/production issues:
The shuffle feel drum rolls are out of place. The machined groove is not shuffled neither is the monophone key riff. No pointer in that direction. Shuffle feels are to be delicately adjusted anyway and in no way an on/off thing.
The format aimed at is unclear (and I may not be on track of the latest fad...), so not easy to recommend w/o an audible direction or development. Out of the blue I'd probably try and structure that thing a bit more (slightly heavier kick every 2 bars/4 bars, some twists, stuff like that), otherwise it's a bit of a noodle hazard...except of course this is intentional.

Otherwise I like it, the sound array is tasteful, there is an, erm, working driving compound, a good balance of airiness and engagement.It reminds me of some old stuff (Brand X, moroccan roll or such) but it's not sounding pretentious in that way.
