Not really sure of the genre, funkhop? electro-swing? glitch hop? Dunno Tell me what you think!

It sounds like you were somehow able to get your hands on the Tombstone drum samples.

I like that you released the song at 0:40 when the vocals came in. I think that the snare should also take a break at some point in the song, since they are playing constantly throughout the song except for a brief few seconds at 1:07 while they come back during the buildup via automation.

At the drop at 1:14 when the vocal sample says "What'dya say, sista?" you should try cutting out all of the instruments for that instant, except for the vocal sample, to make the drop more steep. A sudden silence is commonplace for most drops because it increases the suspense RIGHT before everything jumps back in. Try it and see what you think.

The main synth you have after the drop at 1:16 is very cool, but it sounds like there's a lot missing from this section overall. Try adding more synths here. I would try adding some synths to play chords behind the lead synths.

Also, besides the kick, snare, and the crash, there is an undeniable absence of percussion diversity. See if you have any room to add some hihats or toms to make things more interesting.

Yeh, i usually add percussion as one of the last things so haven't done that yet.

Thanks for the input<3

I really liked it! Weird, fusion, screw all conception of genre style. Flim Flam voice clip was well placed. GJ!

You mean Pendulum drum samples.


Anyway, this has a scent of dubstep in it, yet it's so groovy that my fingers automatically go into tap-the-desk mode. Loving it.

Brilliant!
