Found a converse sample library vocal sample and chopped it up. The words I made indicate a falling out of a relationship, and it's pretty heavy in the main sections to illustrate this. It's a downtempo, 808-fueled migraine that's both lighthearted and agonizingly frustrating. I hope you like it!

What's up streakers? If you're not on Splice yet, you should be - tons of great resources there, including remix competitions / dope stems!
For this week's submission I jumped on the remix bandwagon and put together a remix of a deadmau5 track. I took 128bpm 4-on-the-floor stems and warped and modified everything so I could use it in a downtempo triple meter. I also made a point of really messing with the instrumental stems to make the sound much more my own, including adding new vocal processing into the mix through cascading background chorus and vocoder elements.
I really like how this one turned out! Check out the entry and gimme a <3 if you like it!
Had a busy week last week so took an old project and pushed it over the finish line. Also tried my hand at homebrewed mastering.
This one's on the weirder front - it's about the times where you feel like you've seen it all and are just left a quivering pile of goop on the ground.

This week's track continues themes of brighter, uplifting downtempo stuff from my other three submissions. Arrangement-wise, I'd like to develop it further, but the track stands alone as-is. I'll probably release a ton of the tracks I make through this streak later this year, so I'll revisit the fuller arrangement then.
Hope you enjoy!
I've been gravitating towards a tropical-infused sound lately so I decided to embrace it here with flute and steel drum-esque textures and instruments thrown over a few variations of 4-on-the-floor and trappy future bass bump.
this beat is best served piping hot.

Whoops, thought submissions were due Sunday!
Anyways, here's something I put together in the past week. I was kind of surprised how quickly this came together - the week deadline really infused the creative process with a no-turning-back mentality. I definitely worked on clarity of ideas, brining up only a few prominent melodic elements at a time. I also tried to weave in some thematic consistency across the piece between the initial drop section, middle haziness, and mish mash at the end.
The piece celebrates benefits of patience and a slow, methodical approach to success. It's about removing ourselves from the instant gratification we love and idolize in our culture and dedicating our focus to the slow burn.
Listening back I kinda feel like this is an "end of the movie credits" kind of song...would be interested to hear what others think!

@Oogooloo People HAH thanks bro, glad you think my wet sound is sexy. i'm really proud of that synth actually and when i finally got it to sit in that 1:00 section it totally revamped my understanding of the track, and i ended up revising a ton of it to fit better. in the next iteration i might add some automated auto pan on that synth towards the ends of phrases to increase the intensity and organic, slithering feel.
also working on the dirt - i hear you homes.
I listened to this blind based on the "808-fueled migraine" description but as the track progressed I became increasingly suspicious that this was your work. As a long-time listener of yours, the first bare seconds of introduction to this song were very deceiving and contrary to your typically huge, sexy, wet, heavily-produced sound. With regards to the form, this track builds and opens up nicely with smooth taper at the end. I became really taken with the synth sound that debuts at the 1:00 mark. The pitch shifting is very organic and tasteful. Your vocal processing is distinctly stanley-esque. I would like more dirt in your music and less air, but hey, we value somewhat differing aesthetics. See you next week.
@Laguna Thanks! i like the element of simplicity of the flute sound, it's super corny and mixed very dry but that allows for much more textural, dynamic and spatial growth around this, so i thought it'd be a good anchor point. glad you like it!
Really nice production! Those "General MIDI Flute" sounds surprised me in the beginning and I didn't know what to expect, but then the track takes a more Diplo-esque approach (sorry if that doesn't sounds cool, I'm a little bit old to know what's the latest and greatest).
