New song - pre mix - advice/direction/collaboration appreciated.


Please see link below for a new rough song of mine. Before i start mixing it, i just wanted to try and get some feedback or direction from you more experienced people. I've not been entirely happy with my mixes to date and find it hard to remix something if i have already started. It would be good to get on the right path when first starting with this one if i can :)
Please have a listen and if you can offer any advice i would be really blooming grateful. Vocals also needed if you fancy it, otherwise happy to collaborate!

    I like the vibe a lot and have nothing to complain about the mix! maybe, if I find the time, I will record some vocals on it, just for the fun of it!

    Great track. Love ominous electronic stuff like that. No complaints about the mix, well done.

    Off to a good start, best advice I can give you my friend is to play it side by side with a commercial track of your choosing and close the gap in the differences.

    The beginning seems a bit long, but the rest builds nicely and has a good sound with lots of instrumentation going on throughout. Will be interesting to see what this ends up to be. Nice start to something bigger.
