A bit too toned-down?
I guess you're right, it does sound a bit weird.
Main issue I have is that the drums sound so prominent, while especially the MIDI-melody is so very toned-down, almost muted.
It's not a bad song. It has plenty variation, but it certainly could do with a couple more instruments. It might be that I've missed some, but I can really only hear bass, the MIDI melody and the drums. It could use something more to back it up, even if it was just some constant tones going in the back to give some more harmony to the song, or something like that.
Apart from that, it's a funky song. It's got some funky elements, and even though I can't see too much of the bluesy elements, there are some moments. The end is a bit abrupt, but nothing too bad. I would love to hear a less toned-down, less muted version of this. Or if you want it muted, get another sample for the melody. It doesn't sound too good.
