Way too cool for thoughts. Like a 70s jazz funk track ran thru a blender. I'm not sure what the tie-in between a funky song without lyrics and "the memory of lives and people of the world suffering from discrimination and injustice", is but it probably makes lots of sense and I just haven't picked up on it. Easy 5.0/5.0 tho.

Yeah, this is one of the one's where there's not much to say. Just make the ending a bit more satisfying and this'll be a 5.1 or something. Idk just keep making good stuff. If I had to give you something to work on, it'd probably be to try to create something a little bit more distinctive - this sound relies heavily on 80s and 90s nostalgia and hardware/hardware-emulators like the Fender Rhodes and vintage saturation/compression tools. Maybe for the next one try adding something more 2020s?

This is super creative. It's way too easy to go minimal with lofi and chillwave - I guess some people think being relaxed/low-key while making the music makes it somehow more relaxing by proxy (?) - but this nails it. I especially like how you give the track plenty of breathing room by dropping stuff - subtractive arrangment > additive arrangement every time. The only real problems I can see is maybe a bit of sameness on the horizon. When you're using lots and lots of gear and VSTs, I often find you end up with kind of similar stuff - especially if you don't branch out much. It gets easy to fall into the trap of installing a new plugin every time you think your music's getting a bit stale, which is really no good - financially or creatively. Really dig deep into what you've already got - the reason some oldheads swear by MPCs and DAWless mixing isn't cause those tools are better but because they've got 15+ years of experience using just that gear. But also the Kilohearts Mixing Suite is omega-based (and free), so automatic +0.5.

~3 years into hip-hop and feeling good :)
Big fan of sounds.
