hi PD. nice track, much like the chilly vibe of the intro and the proper beat after that.
I think the kick and bass could be more glued together to create a pushing rhythm.
try to increase the side-chaining effect and EQ both parts to fully match ...
maybe adding another bass layer (mid range) could also enhance the rhythmic effect?
agree, the pads are cool, very airy and well matching the track. good work, like it!
