Hey, thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it. Just trying to get a mellow yet still forward driving sound I guess I would explain it as, feeling wise I would say signifying hope.
Good track.It was moving no b.s. I am not a mixing head but here is what I can tell you. You have a lot of space if you tried to take a creative risk and found some unorthodox found sound like many low end theory artists and a litttle fuzz and dirt and hum(don't over do it like me). Then the beat would hit a different audience. Look at all the attention xxyyxx is garnering, and some of his songs I would have thrown out, but a different audience eats that stuff up. If this is in your taste and only if its in your taste. You could Add some odd vocals/samples and glitch them out. The synth at 1:11 is is too idm for me it works by all means though. In short you could just copy the song and go two different directions. Keep one clean version like yours and then dirty the other one up with a little beauty to it then you will have two different beats. Check out Holy Other,Clams Casino, Salem(withchouse) and anything by artists on the freinds of friends label. If this is not in your taste than disregard what I said! just trying to help, Not push my taste on you. Nice beat!
Yo im not lying when I say I love this beat. This shit is sick. and the hats really keep it moving. This sounds like something partynextdoor could kill. I dont have my subs with me so I cant really tell that well but ur 808s might be a little too loud. Just check the mix in a car to make sure. Other than that great track man
Dude this beat is fresh! I'm listening on my headphones and I think the mix sounds well done. The only thing I noticed was that the bass seems to be taking up a whole lot of headroom. Seems like whenever it hits, everything else takes a very slight, but noticeable dip in dB. But then again, it might just be my headphones.
I actually liked that synth at 1:11. (Since I do house music). I was actually hoping you would expand on it, but then I remembered it's a hip hop instrumental haha. This would be a sick track to put vocals over though, well done man.
