By "stop-start with the drums" I mean that I would like the drums to continue uninterrupted more often rather than breaking down and stopping and then building back up again into a main, solid groove.

Breadowns, pauses, fills and drum changes are all great for providing excitement in a track and I love doing them. I just think this track would flow better if you didn't do those breakdowns and pauses so many times but kept the beat more constant. Also, if you do it too much, it loses its appeal.

I haven't heard of "Aren't You Clever" by Laurie Webb but will now look her and it up.

Good luck with any improvements or alternate mixes.

Okay I see now..
It's not the rhythm of the kick it's just the flow of the entrance of the track overall. I get you :)

I actually did that on purpose to convey a more dramatic feel to the track; to make it sound empty in the first half, bring in the beat for a foreshadow, then take it back out to bring back what I wanted to be the overall feel of the track; more dramatic than just a constant beat.

Thanks again for your comment :)

I can hear why this is your fav Sevenola.....has a nice rolling along vibe & the kind of uplifting feel that leaves a smile on your face..The string stabs are a nice contrast with the beat & synth pad & the breaks/variations keep it interesting listening....enjoyed this one....Well done....Ed

First of all, is this you singing?
I really liked the vocals here.

A complex track, as Static Nomad put it. Very interesting and it groes all the way.

Oh no, but I wish I had that voice.
The vocals are from Laurie Webb's song Aren't You Clever.
& thanks !

Hello. This is some quite creative and complex stuff. Strange, complex structure to it.

Big bass drum you've got thundering away there.

Good vocals and a classic sound for this genre. Whose vocals are they/where are they from?

I like the skittering, panning shaker/hats that come in on 1:54 They make a real difference to that verse. Maybe they should have been brought in sooner (just an idea).

Strings also sound great. Delay on them is just what I like.

Perhaps a slight problem with this, with reference to the slightly strange structure, is that there's too much stop-start with the drums. It's creative but maybe this would do better with some steadier beats.

But it's really good stuff with definite commercial appeal so I can understand why it's one of your favourites.

Thanks very much for your comment StaticNomad !

It's fairly an old track that I created maybe a year ago when I was much younger on the trail of producing/mixing. The structure may be strange because it's actually the extended version that I pretty much deemed the original after a while. And I'm not sure what you mean but the stop-start of the drums, are you meaning the kick line at the intro that carries throughout the song ? It does seem a little redundant and strange with the clash of the 4-beat kick when it gets sort of "poppy"... so I think I know what you mean.

The vocals are chopped up and from the song "Aren't You Clever" by Laurie Webb.

I've been meaning to re-do this song and maybe even do a couple of different mixes of it even.

Thank you again for your comment, much appreciated !
:D

The ambient track I finished tonight. Got some ideas just watching a movie.
I used a tiny fragment from a Paperkup's track - Bits of a piece.

Description : This is hardcore hip hop. Very Dr DRE, Lil Uzi Vert, Nicki Minaj style with a euro dance vibe /feel and with a hip hop beat. Lot's of bass in the track too. Hope you enjoy my new rap track. I have edited the previous track since I am allowed only 1 upload per day here. This is the final mastered version. The previous version had mastering problems which I have adjusted here.
