This is awesome :D

I like the instrumentation and the atmosphere. In fact, I think it would add a lot to the atmosphere if you put some more reverb on that (clave?) sound that first comes in at :03. It progresses a little slowly, yet it has a strange emotional quality that kept me engaged until it picked up at around :45. As far as I can tell, the mixing is pretty solid, although you don't have much of a full texture in there to create clashing frequencies. It's smooth-flowing and chill. I think it needs some vocals and/or more melodic content to keep it engaging throughout, though. It also doesn't really loop that well, but maybe that's because you left a measure of two of silence at the end by mistake (?). This is a cool beat, but it needs some more non-rhythmic elements and variety in order to be a complete piece IMO. Keep at it, man. ;)
