The mixes all feel very constrained, both in terms of the frequency range and stereo field.

you mean they some elements could be higher and the panning should be better?

Nice style, simple, raw, staight forward. I like it, too. Would second what dubdub said, the mix seems very mono and use more depth. Maybe the higher bass area is a bit too big, so there is not enough room for the rest? Just a guess..

thank you :) but how is the mix too mono? because if you notice almost everything is panned. maybe yeah the bass are is too loud in comparison with the other elements!!

i like them too!
nice style. sometimes maybe a bit over the top with the bleepy leads (less delay maybe?) but thats a matter of taste.
i dont think theres anything missing, but maybe you could make the arrangements snappier? like having a 8 or 16 bar breakdown to build up nicely and then let it bang again? I really like how the elements are flowing into each other and the general groove of the tracks. last one is best for me :)

M/S signal needs rebalance for sure.
also the tracks sound relatively quiet although the waveform shows that there is a limiter maxing out things.
and some ''brightness'' would be nice. I always say that saturation can do wonders in that.
but saturation is another whole beast by itself ))
nice straightforward music, I like it.

needs rebalance how? i don't think panning is the problem honestly i pan almost everything.

well i dunno its true i have a limiter but its only for better listening purposes i produce on low volumes with my tracks, they generally don't go over -12db haha.
yes my tracks in general are missing saturation, its funny because before i used a lot of saturation and my first vinyl releases are "branched" by that but since ive been trying to develop my sound ive been trying to get away from saturation but ive been doing it wrong i shouldnt get away from it, i should use it in small levels so the track is more alive and coloured!

Thanks for the feedback!!

Great tracks man, the only thing that bothered me is the slight lack of high end on the percussions

Yes, I think you should raise it by something like 15-20%
