    Ever wonder what an IllMuzik collabo would sound like...? (spoiler: click this)

    Producer: Dusty B Engineer: @Iron Keys great job on the mix my man, you took it across the fucking finish line fr

    Thank you my man. Final mix is here:

    Guitar beat tape for summer vibes!

    What's stopping you? Genuinely curious. The people who make the music on a lot of those playlists are just schmucks (like me, you, and all humans :)).

    These from a couple months ago...

    Snare and percussion is dope. Did you make the pattern? Can I bite it and save that perc/snare loop down so I can sample? I like the guitar, I think it could have maybe drove the melody a bit more. I think the pads are a hair loud, I like the build up, but I think as it got going the snare is...

    Inspectah Deck 'The Movement' (DJ Excellence remix)

    Love the lofi crispy drums. You've got this vibe down my man. My only thoughts would be to get out the box a bit and try making something that's totally not DJ Excellence just to push the limits a little and, as Mister @Fade says, get those juices flowing.

    Friday the 13th beat

    It sounds a bit off to me, something with the cha cha and drums when it breaks down. I like the drums and melody independently, but to my ears they don't seem to be jazzing well. I like the vibe though - keep at it. My fav part is when the bigger kick alongside the hat/crash come in, adds some...

    Moka Only ft Madchild 'Once Again' (DJ Excellence remix)

    I like the drum pattern but I think it could knock a bit more. Hook sounds a bit off to me (are the vocals in a different key than the beat?). I would have liked to hear just the instrumental more tbh, but overall cool work, can hear a lot of Premo influence for sure.

    Launched my Beatstars last week! Feedback?

    Just looking for thoughts/feedback on the overall vibe of the storefront. Look professional? Sound good? Thoughts on the overall vibe? I'm starting with mostly some older beats of mine and will eventually expand to include playlists of specific types (i.e. beats w/ hook since I do that often)...

    COOL J. - "JUDGEMENT"

    This you rapping? If so hmu, let's collab. I think the beat is a bit busy at times and it distracts from the rapper, and some of the high pitch strings carry on too long, but it's great production for sure and all works well. ~130 is my fav part.

    Sawn Off Shotgun

    Drums have a nice groove and swing to them. I like the high pitch strings that come in. I think there is too much instrumentation at times, but I know I have a bias towards more minimalist stuff so prob just me. Overall sounds good IMO, like I mentioned there are parts where I was wanting to...

    Genre Help

    Listened to the first one. This is hip-hop. I know hip-hop has changed and now there's a lot of people who sing over bass, but this is a track to support a story teller telling some dark shit. Drums I think can knock more and be more full in the mix. I thought I heard some dissonance on the bass...

    SMILE u Phuck

    I like the title! Has a cool chill ambient feel to it. The thumbnail and vibe feels like a scene where a serial killer is planning how he's going to kill his next victim, so this could get spun into a track like that. I like the hat pattern and the repetitive melody. Mix sounds a little...

    Oh It's You

    Melody sounds a little too programmed and I don't think aligned with the drum groove. Not that it was off beat but I don't think it has enough groove to be pitched as hip hop beat. I think chops could be rearranged in a way that creates more of a melody and rhythm. Drums also sound too...

    Guitar beat tape for summer vibes!

    listened to the first one. cool production and I like the space you gave the guitar and bass, sounds like it was recorded live. The synths are cool. Sounds like experimental jazz/progressive jazz hip hop of sorts which is cool and unique. I don't see a vocalist over this though, just noting in...

    Necro ft Jamey Jasta 'Push It To The Limit' (DJ Excellence remix)

    Great scratching. That you? No complaints, sounds like a great boom bap beat. Only thing is that it's very 90s so might now have a wide audience but I think the classic boom bap vibe is what you were going for and it sounds great with the acapella. Overall solid track, if it popped up on a...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    thanks bro. I've started taking a similar approach with the drum layers recently as I use drum breaks often and often run into the same challenge of trying to mix the break/bus vs. the individual sound. I think this one was before I knew to do that! appreciate the info on how you approached the...

    Anyone want their beat mixed?

    cheers, appreciate that! I've def senses over the last year how I would spend too much time trying to mix something to the way I wanted it... where the root "problem" is probably not the best sound selection! ty!
