“Find The Brakes” - the final tune in the “modern times”-cycle.
As mentioned there -> Thanks to Herbie Hancock and Paul Hardcastle!
Hope, you like it!
Yours,

Nice one! Really sounds well-mixed to me (in addition to being pleasant musically). I’d love to read about your setup / technique.
It’s a sunny, very euphonious electro-jazz sort of thing. It’s certainly inoffensive, and well crafted.
I hate to say anything negative about it, but it was almost too safe. It didn’t seem to build much musical tension, or ask my ear to make a leap. It seemed rather like a breakfast scene at the opening of a movie to which I might take a church youth group without anyone raising an eyebrow. The sort of movie in which nobody would even order a bloody mary with lunch. Not even the bad guy.
But I don’t want to detract from your mastering or execution. It was very well assembled.

@Jan Koekepan:
Yes, things go quite easy through this, no friction, no jumps, quite suitable to
find the brakes ;).
For the mixing: I recently I got really great headphones, they sound very “neutral”,
i.e. they don’t prefer or suppress any frequencies. It’s a lot easier to find the mix.
