    Academy Of Dark Arts [The Prodigy Style EP]

    Thanks for the feedback @Dusty B This is definitely not a genre I was accustomed to making. I've always been a big fan of this music, and in the past years gotten a bit deeper into enjoying purely as a listener. My typical style is chill-lofi, jazzy, bluesy, type hip hop...boom-bap even...

    Academy Of Dark Arts [The Prodigy Style EP]

    Thanks for the feedback @2GooD Productions To clarify, by Prodigy influence I was referring mostly to the blend of breakbeats, guitars/rock, and synths. It's worth noting that I was listening to a lot of Justice at this time too. These tracks all started as proofs of concept and a personal...

    Academy Of Dark Arts [The Prodigy Style EP]

    Hey All, Here's an a collection of tunes I had planned to release as an an EP. Due to computer crashes, lost project files, and a variety of other reasons, I couldn't get the stems together for mixing/mastering. Heavily influenced by new-rave, big beat, and more specifically The Prodigy...

    Friday the 13th beat

    Lots of atmosphere in here. I like the metallic sounding hits with delay. I may be crazy, but that bass is a BIT too loud. May be worth doubling it so that way you get the weight and rumble of a sub bass, but something with a mid range tone so you get the harmonic quality of it too. The only...

    Oh It's You

    The drums are a bit too stiff. Swing and Some variation on velocity on the hats would help to give it a more flowing feel. The issue with micro-chops is that they can get a bit TOO busy - such as the case here. All the chops are great, and they fit together. Maybe a slower tempo or pitching...

    fuck yo type beats

    Drums are gritty and have a ton of groove. I like how you used the horns sparingly at first. The little stabs add a ton of groove, but leave enough space for when the longer loop/chops come in they have meaning. The bass line fits nicely, would've liked a more organic, electric bass tone for...

    Made these a year ago

    This is MENACING! You changed the bass patch too? I think the melody/piano is FAR more emotive at this tempo. Curious to hear what you think about it at this tempo?

    Please Warm My Weiner

    Getting some heavy RJD2 vibes of this! The layering of samples is what really brings this to life. I do like that you went back and put some strings in there to fill out the sonics and give the ears something to follow in the background. Great blend of synths, samples, and instrumentation.

    Final Battle

    Always a fan of cinematic approach to hip hop. The melody and harmonies are a great base for a story telling beat. That guitar line is also amazing, especially the way you introduced it. The change up that starts at 2:02 is cool too. I don't care much for that synthetic distorted guitar, but...

    hard / jazzy / unique 90bpm

    Definitely unique. All the elements are good, but I think this serves more as a "proof-of-concept" rather than a functional beat. I can see it as an outro of a song or interlude between two story telling type tracks. As always, you keep pushing limits and trying cool new things. Respects for...

    same vintage synth sample flipped twice!

    First one has a early 2000s mixtape energy to it. I could see the whole of Dip Set or D-Block going full HAAM on it - with DJ Kay Slay yelling is lungs out in the back lol. One thing I've come to really appreciate about your music is focus on song structure. Each section is unique, but flows...

    Made these a year ago

    Ambitions: Great piano intro. Simple, but effective melody, nice harmonies, and creative use of counter melody. I more fleshed out arrangement may really bring this to life. Experiment with extended harmonies across different instruments (strings, horns, pads) and doubling some elements. Maybe...

    COOL J. - "JUDGEMENT"

    Dope beat! High energy, and great use of drums/percs to create a boom bap esque groove with a janky off kilter feel. flow and vocals sound good and fit well with the beat. Really loving that moogy bass. Overall great tune.

    BOOM BAP BEAT gospel flip soulful | "oh no" 98BPM

    love the drum fill transition from the intro to Verse 1. Nice sample choice, would of liked to hear a stripped back more sparse use of it during verse 1, but you did it in Verse 2 which adds to the dynamic build of the piece. My only critique, would be, the whole track sounds a bit...

    When You're Not In The Beat-making Mood

    @Leopard Cohen Very much so! When I approach music as thought experiments, explorations, or just "fucking around" I find I come out with music that I, personally, really enjoy. Moreover, it's fun to make and the process feels less laborious. That's not to say that objective based writing...

    When You're Not In The Beat-making Mood

    Hey All, A couple weeks ago I was riding what seemed like a creative peak. Making beats every night, sampling in unique ways and using a variety of my musical skills, techniques, and resources to make music that was fun for me. This was quickly followed by a couple weeks of next to no...

    Could I Get Some Opinions on This?

    Rubbery Intro Patch: I like the touch of attack at the start of the sound. Not sure if it's two layered patches or stacked oscillators, but there's a cool de-tune/spread that gives it some extra space. The hint of crunch on it helps to give it character as well. Intro Sub Bass: Sounds like a...

    Mistaken Identiy - Funk/Nu-Disco

    Thanks @digis appreciate the feedback. Instagram is something I wanted to focus on a bit more this year. It's a lot of work, but fun to make and exercise a different style of creativity. I've also found it helps to inspire and inform the music writing process as it forces me to think about the...

    Mistaken Identiy - Funk/Nu-Disco

    @Leopard Cohen Thanks for the feedback. I maybe spent too much time on the bass - but I was having fun with the process. @Iron Keys And what did yout think of the track itself?

    Mistaken Identiy - Funk/Nu-Disco

    I've recently started a "Beat-Blog" on Instagram. Through my daily jams if I come up with something somewhat cool, I'll film a little video for it and post. I've been having a lot of fun figuring out camera angles, camera setting, lighting, and of course how TF to actually edit videos lol...
