Sorry if I'm perhaps being pedantic but I wasn't suggesting changing the drum tempo (though you could ) but, instead, the drum groove as well as the drum kit used. So, you could have the same tempo but swing the drums on an acoustic kit that would make it jazzier rather than housier. This could fit well with the piano too.

You're good at doing melodic electronic music and there's lots to like in your tracks. Yet sometimes I feel they're a little too genre-based ie do things that I've heard too often in the particular genre. Trying to get some other flavours in there might help and would probably make the tracks stand out more.

As I said, I'm really making suggestions based on what I might do. But I only have my ears and ideas and do try to think differently. It's all just music anyway and you really can make pretty much anything fit any other sound if you work at it. Sometimes it's a lot easier than you might think!

Good luck.

Beautiful progressive start.!

love that gentle pan effect.!

Real nice kick off with sweet synths n real nice feel good vibs.!

Love the rich keys in this too.!

This is a real nice track to just let it do its thing!

Very nice work!

Got me rocking.!

the bottom end in that track is so fat ... great tune

Yes, I certainly did hear the crackle intro as record scratch rather than rain. I thought it suited it really well.

Maybe you could also add some rain or small amounts of other atmospheric FX - perhaps almost as fills at the end of the bar.

That piano is cool too.

I like the drumless drop on 1:32 and how the delayed note fades out.

I find the rest is pleasant though I'm generally not such a house fan. I think I would have preferred the main style to be something else groove-wise - funk grooves, d'n'b, whatever. Or swing jazz would be cool.

Actually I'd really like it if you had swing jazz acoustic drums and kept the same other instruments as it would be the kind of genre crossover I'm into. And would be unusual.

Just an idea based on my preferences. You go with yours...

Hello Steve ....

The rhythmic "beaches" used here, once again demonstrates your mastery of the subject muiscal. High quality hearing also.
This production is very good, and very catchy. As it brings a pleasant feeling of well being, even though the vinyl is a bit scratched .... Hahaha! I like it.
