I like this one too. Again, very "urbanish" and the heavy reverbed vocals add a bit of mystery. I must admit I was thrown a little when I hit the change-up with acoustic guitar-thought somehow I had switched to another track. But it makes it interesting and curious about what's going to happen next. I love the kind of all-out "let's throw it in" type of attitude I pick up on it.

What's up bruh,

That track takes me places. Reminds me of how I get so stress that I need my cigarette which is my MUSIC. I loved it especially the drumming being that is my first instrument that I learned. The guitar coming was crazy. I wanted to hear a track with that only. It was worth hearing it and I will definitely keep my ears to your music.

Peace & Respect

Loved this track. Sounded like it deserved to be on a chill out album..

Did you programme the drum shuffle? or was it a loop either way it works perfect in the track.

The guitar break down was also superb and really helped the song take a perfectly timed twist.

The only thing i would probobly comment on is the Guitar sounded a little over/under streched. if it cant be replayed, i would probly recommend using the audio to midi feature in ableton 8. or maybe proppellerheads recycle and then triggering the sounds on your midi keyboard that way they are not time streched but played in time still.

This track could also sound superb as a Mr Scruff type remix..

Great stuff. AGAIN.....lol

Ill spare the long typing.

Jazz style drums go well with this track, the vox, is used well and the track is well mastered.

Seriously I'm surprised I have not come across you before around the loop.

The drums work well with the song in the intro.

The first lead voice that comes in feels a bit synthetic and too... robotic? Not as much feeling to it as it could have, IMO.

I like the vocal sample with the delay/reverb, although I think I might like it more if it was either a bit more clear or a bit less. It's in an awkward range of understanding right now.

I like the rodes-ish piano that comes in.

The guitar drop is a great idea, and it comes back into the song very smoothly. The drop into it feels very sudden. Maybe a low pass filter or something on the drums followed by a sudden snare or bass hit on the down beat that kinda reverbs out for a measure before bringing that in? Something to that effect would do a lot for the coherency of that section.

Again with the Rhodes, I like it... and again with the two bars of guitar for the finish, very nice. The abrupt change into the guitar works better for me when I've heard it once in the song already.

... and that finishes the first listen of the song. Thank you for posting it, and I hope you enjoyed my stream of consciousness I wrote as I listened. Take everything with a grain of salt, as I am no professional, just a guy who liked listening to your track.

EDIT: Second listen through... ignore the part about the stiffness of the first lead, unless you want to record yourself playing it. Also, the intro makes me think of Samurai Champloo's music. Wonderful anime if you enjoy chillout music and stylized sword fights set in an anachronistic Edo period Japan. Guitar drop seems a bit more natural now that I'm expecting it, although I would like something echo-y going on.

Description : 120BPM, C#m
A hard, robotic-sounding trap beat with an aggressive atmosphere, deep 808 bass, and punchy kicks. The melody was created using a single instrument, keeping the sound minimal, dark, and futuristic. Heavy low-end, hard-hitting drums, and mechanical vibes give this beat its distinctive character.
