Music is pretty nice. I'd prefer a drier vocal, not sure about what effect you're using but it's overall very nice.

As usual you produce very melodic pieces which are pleasant and easy on the ear's.  I agree the drums could do with a little more punch and as suggested by Larry some instrument variation would add some subtle movement without distracting from the overall feel of the tune.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your comment. I will try to fix the issues you pointed out. One commenter on another forum said that I should put more rests on my tunes. I have tried that but it is very difficult for some reason. Is it so that my tunes need more rests?

You mixes are getting better and better. I enjoyed that one even if it's not in my wheelhouse.

Thank you bapu.

Not so much rests Kakku more the odd pause to create some suspense, even if it is just slipping in a tiny 2 beat pause ie.
You are in 4/4, inset one bar of 2/4 with nothing in it, then back to 4/4, just let the notes hang sound wise over the 1 2/4 bar.

Thank you Kenny. I use reverb on the whole mix and on the lead synths I use delay and Duet, a harmoniser effect.

Thank you for the tip. I will try that. For some reason I have never tried the pause thing before iirc.

I'm having a good day, this is another "LOVE IT" track!
My suggestion would be to slightly lower the high hat volume.  And add those "dry" vocals that someone previously mentioned.  I'm not hearing any vocals (i'm guessing you remixed and removed them).

Very nice of you, thank you. I used a sample and si drum synth for the drums and I don't think I know how to lower the volume on high hat unless there is a certain frequency I can pull lower. I can check that out. I didn't have any vocals on this tune before either as I know nobody that could sing this stuff. And also lyrics writing is very difficult so I haven't got those.

I just remembered I actually use a small one measure pause in almost every tune I make just before the middle 8. One guy at another forum is always commenting I should use rests and that makes me uneasy because it is not natural for me to use them.

Very solid tune throughout.  I'd agree with the earlier comments of adding punch to the snare a bit and tweaking down the high hat.  Also, maybe bring up the power chords on guitar in some segments.  Small tweaks all things considered.
