I agree man the samples are dope, and you already know about the mixing. The beat is dope just gotta balance things out a little more with the levels. Good shiet!

this track has a dope vibe. makin beats is all about creating a feeling -

as for the mixing, I thought the hats were too loud, get your hi hats much lower in the mix and pan them harder to one side, snare drum needs to be a bit louder, but the mix wasn't unlistenable, I have heard way worse...as for improving your mixing, try listening to some professional music that has a similar vein as what you are making at the same time you are mixing, switch back and forth, and that will help you notice when you have something too loud or too quiet in the mix...peace

ya the more I listen the more I like it, but my gut feeling was that I just wished the drums were buffed up a little bit. dunno, maybe it's just me or because I'm playing it on shitty laptop speakers.

nice track

Gives off a really dreamy, icy, sparkly vibe 8) Makes me think of someone climbing a snowy mountain :D

I like the slow pace tool. Very chilled joint.
