T Leaf - hurt me [WIP] (need some help)

[T Leaf]

this is an experiment on using some new methods on creating a track that sounds dreamscapish.
I used a lot of spacial mastering techniques (slight reverb, chorusing, delays) on the break to give it an airy feel.
subby bassline was 3xosc(-12 square, -12/11cents square, 0 square) pushed to 80 Hz and then carefully distorted to give it a tiny low growl.
the break is accompanied by a roto organ and rhodes to create some sort of lucid scape.

just wonder what you guys think?

personally i think the break mastering brings out the shuffle a bit more. i might leave the main kick and snare to more orthodox techniques though.

sounds cool mate, sounds like every sound is in its own "space"
only critique would be make the main kick and snarem ore prominent, the shuffle overpowers them.

got two more revisions. i like hurtme5 best for the overall mix. the bassdrum and snare in hurtme4 are too clean and centered. i found a happy medium in 5 i think

cheers for the help krease

you have helped make the track 120% better

i may get to finish this now

big ups
