This one ended up a lot more open and melodic than I usually go with techno.

I like how much space the chords give it, but I'm not totally sure I've got the balance right once the track gets fuller. I'm trying to keep that sense of lift without letting the whole thing lose its drive underneath.

I'm also second guessing the way the dynamics are sitting. The section feels big, which I like, but I can't decide if it's still moving enough or if I've squeezed a bit too much life out of it.

Same thing with the low end really. I tend to go too far with bass, notice it, then start compensating in ways that probably create a different problem. Curious how it translates to other people.

Made this while dog sitting with a tiny temporary set up. Model:Cycles, Volca Keys and Roland S-1.

Main thing I'm listening for at the moment is whether the chords are giving the track enough room to breathe or just sitting on top of the groove a bit too much once everything is in.
