You went meditative, didn't you? Like philosophical about time? Both productions sound PERFECT. Hi-hats sound like a clock, especially in 'Finding Time.' The fill is absolutely gorgeous, and I love the snare. A soundtrackish feel, as often you do, very pleasing. The drums are kicking while the music is floating. I'm not very expert in hip hop, but it sounds unusual, so congrats for being original and different. Not sure about my fav, probably 'Finding Time.' They seem to be two takes in the same direction, with a consistency, like a theme. If you are going to investigate this territory, it could be cool to go extremely into proggy intricate melodies and unusual chords and progressions, Dorian, Lydian, and maybe Phrygian mode when you want to be dramatic... Mike Oldfield could be an inspiration, and you could do an album or an EP...

A mention in "Got It In" for the kind of reggae styled guitar and, again, the drums.

I know, this is very similar to the edit made by Nightmares On Wax; after all, edits are all similar by definition. I wanted a version of 'Summer in the Night' that I could include in my sets, and the version by Nightmares On Wax cut out parts that I liked too much, so I made this version.

I'm working on a composed album that is a crossover between soundtrack music for sync licensing and the hip hop I love. It will be a mix of trap style for.some of it and boom bap for the rest. Just really want to push myself on the composition side of music making. I will need to have a refresher on modes as I havent read up on them for a while and have forgotten the finer details. But its worth while me doing so. At work right now and only have my phone, so will drop some feedback later when I get home and have proper monitors

Finding Time:
A pretty cool departure from your "typical" sound but still has a few of your hallmarks. I like the sound selection on this. The tight little fill is really nice. Good use of dynamic range and more "ephemeral" sounds: Verbs, wahs, serene spaced out vocals, bells. This is an interesting piece of music. I like the story going on here and the overall vibe. In terms of the album and sync placements, this has a lot of potential.

Got It In:
Picking up where the last beat left off with the vocals and dreamy bells. Of the two, I think this is a more conventional "beat" but still keeps that dreamy quality. Again, great sound selection. Arrangement/structure is good as usual. Could you share any pointers to how you get your arrangements to flow so seamlessly? I've been trying to explore writing across bar lines with lead ins and 'exits' but can't quite seem to get it down like you do. This is dope!

@attila

Sun Is Shining:
I love everything Bob Marley, so this captured my attention right away. The rhodes work and vocal chops at 0:41 are REALLY dope! I especially like the drums on this. They have a gritty and lofi quality to them. Simple, but they don't need to be any busier. Oooh, didn't catch the background vocals at 0:22 at first! I like how they lead into that low brassy/pad sound. Lots of depth, texture, and atmosphere on this track!

Summer In The Edit:
'Passin' Me By' is one of my all time favourite tunes, so it's hard to not be biased when I here another take on the sample. That being said, this is really well done. I like how you kept more of the jam-band vibe of the source material. Cool edit!

@M.I.ndless

This is interesting! I like the industrial sound this has. There's a very cinematic quality to this...the way you bring in elements and have it build the tension of the overall tune. Ooooh, I like how you up'd the groove after the Singing with the drums. Doing a groove shift like that is hard to pull over, but it matches the flow really well. Speaking of, you do a good job of having the beat match the vocals...like that synth and stomp/gun shot towards the back end of the tune. Not a style I'd actively seek out, but glad you shared, because now I'm intrigued!
