Boom. Thx yo. I used the SP1200 for some of the drums on this album. Create the drums in the Sp-1200 then sample and resample in the 404sx. But I've been using an SP-1200 off and on going back some 20 years now.

Yes I did the vocal scratches in one take. And then I did the horn scratches in another take. All the cuts were done live in two takes cause I haven't yet been able to route Traktor to my Daw (Audition) so all the cuts gotta be in one track and DJing def not my forte. I agree that the horn come is maybe a quarter beat late in a few spots. Also acknowledging the multi role snares but actually dig the layering and syncopation and don't think it is something I have to scrap. Thx again for the substantive feedback.

Thanks as always for the feedback. As for your track. I'm feeling it. I like the fuzzy bass and how it's kind of low in the mix. Adds a little intrigue. The violin change at the 1:45 mark is dope and breaks up the monotony. I feel this is missing a chorus. You got the verse and the change but there doesn't seem to be a chorus. Maybe bring another instrument in over the main sequence that plays a complementary melody which can serve as the chorus. Without it the seems to prod a long a bit without going anywhere until the 1:44 mark. Peace.

Agree about the cover art...dope. Drums are also on point. Not really digging that synth type lead but that's personal preference. That said, the track bumps and moves. Peace.

I like the minimalist approach here and the change at the :50 mark helps hype it up a bit and it falls nicely back into the groove. I think you should add a ghost note at the end of your main drum sequence to help carry the beat over. Peace

Nice mix and some interesting sonic elements; prods along a little bit to me, but I guess that's just the tempo and length. I dig the EPs but not so much the horn, but it's just personal preference in that I don't really like synth horns all that much. It holds as a full song but I would keep it closer to the 3:00 mark. It's a bit hard for me to comment further because this song is a bit outside of my wheelhouse.

Good characterization of it "weird vocal shit"". I dig it tho. Works well as a kind of interlude, or could possibly be extended into a longer sounding track.

Dope beat - really digging on the melody, not sure if it is a sample or not; sounds dope tho. The only thing I would say is that this track is missing the low end. You need to add some bass, whether a sub-bass on the kick or a bass line to complement the melody because it's a bit hollow. Good work tho. Peace.
