    Feedback... I don't like trap LOL. Was surprised by the rocky orchestra music though. Enjoyed the Bazza White sample. Great snare rolls/reverb on the Rain beat. Liked the vibe of the oriental joint too.

    DISCLAIMER: not trap. Made this in an afternoon, went back and added a little extra guitar the next day. Happy with it.

    Any response? Criticism welcome, I'm not going to improve with praise... also sorry if I ruffled any feathers with my feedback.

    I like everything apart from the drums! Nice spooky melody, love the stutter @0.18. New drums and a sampled bassline please ;)

    Reminds me of early Bonobo. You're a talented arranger dude. Super nice, mellow... I say Bonobo because this is blurring the lines between hip-hop and just straight music - sounds like the frame of a song for a band. Just waiting for lead guitar and singer to join in. Beautiful stuff, I think...

    I like the strings and piano stuff a lot. The drums need some work. Too many fills for me, need a different pattern that holds it all together. I'm noticing with a lot of beats I've listened to on here that people are using a lot of effects and stuff to build up a drop or change. Swooooshing...

    The high melodic part (violin?) only sounds good backwards to me, but I like the progression when the bass comes in.

    There's some music going on in there somewhere LOL, the drums are slow choking it with a pillow. I think I like what I can hear under the beat. More volume please.

    Dude... this is fucking great. Simple, clean, pensive mood, but gets the head nodding. I'm jealous of all your gear too! The video is a good idea to show the track construction. Nothing much to criticise, maaaaybe put the guitar through a pedal - it sounds too clean. Needs just a little...

    Nice. Drums too high in the mix though? There's some nice details in the sample I can only hear at the end when the beat stops. Nice progression with the vocals. Like it a lot, I'd just lower the drums a bit and beef up the sound of that main sample.

    I like this. There's a lot going on though, feel like I want some sections to concentrate on one new sound/part at a time. The other thing that immediately struck me is just why I like working with old record samples instead of keyboards: everything already has some natural reverb that is...

    Like the ominous vibe to this... think the strings and trumpet(?) part break the mood a little though. I'd look for anther sample that takes the mood even darker.

    Great instrumentation - your own guitar? Like the piano, don't like the vocal. Would prefer a bassline rather than bass hits. Great stuff though!

    I like the keys (celeste? Harpsichord?), and the bass strums, not really feeling the string/orchestral hits. Feels a bit like shouting "DRAMA!". I'd really like the key pattern to play more... reminds me of Lost In Thought by Funkdoobiest (Muggs killin' it).

    Nnnnnnice bump to this. Like the steel drums. Only thing I'd change (personal taste etc) is some crackly old drum sample with snares & cymbals in the higher frequency to offset the booming kick. Love the space in the arrangement, something I really struggle with LOL.

    @2GooD Productions - the stuff you do isn't really to my taste but I can tell you're very good at sound design, everything sounds very polished. Maybe too much going on in your tunes though? Feels like underneath all of the bells & whistles I'm listening for a groove that's not always that...

    Musically a very muted vibe. As someone else said, the drums are nice, but I think the tune is sparse enough that you could be adding other elements to it.

    Was messing about with an old DJ Krush sample and came up with this: Lot of beats to get through here... one word about feedback from me: I’m not into trap, so don’t take it personally if I have nothing to say as I’d rather keep zipped than hate on someone’s work.
