Hey KVR, this is my first post to this website (awesome website), and I was wondering could you guys give me some feedback on my mix. I was going for a spacey feel with some hard-hitting drums. Thanks in advance!

The song is a keeper, imo, nice mellow, laid back feel to it. Good bass lines happening and complimented with the drums.
However, too repetitious, unless you plan to add some vocals in which case you have the song structure; hook, verse, chorus, rinse, repeat, out. Without vocals I think you need to revisit and pull from your creativity.
As for mix, not enough volume so it suggests you have no compression or limiters on the track. I normally listen at low volumes and typically soundcloud songs are still too loud. This one I had to jack up so you need to add some volume.
I think you need to bring up/out each instrument some more. The drums are fine now but may degrade if you bring up the other instruments.
I like the delay echo and pan bounce you have going and it fits well in the mix.
Not a pro here and just saying what I like in a mix. Take it with a grain of salt.
Hopefully some pros will chime in and give you some pointers.
Keep makin music!
Happy Musiking!

PS...this probably belongs in "Music Cafe" so the mods may end up moving it.
