Beat Fight #382

@MicroDotCotton - love the feel of this. It's got this drunken, loose groove that's just very comfortable. Great sample choice, and equally great flip. The mix on this sounds a lot more powerful than some other stuff I've hear from you. Not loud or overpowering, but clearer which allows it to be more impactful. I'm jealous of guys like you can make samples flow seamlessly across the grid and feel like they're ignoring tempos/quantization! This is real nice!

@P.A.T. - that low brass is foul! Something about overblown crunchy brass that adds a menacing quality to beats. Then you switch it up and go into these lush sustained strings...very clever! Some cool details here...that pan/metallic flute sound is creative touch. As always, your sense of melody and movement is great.

This is a hard vote. On one hand you have vibe and groove, and then with PAT you have to appreciate the musicality.

@MicroDotCotton
Love the bassline on this one, like Biggchev said, the mix on this one is strong
Love the trumpets after awhile
Great work

@P.A.T.
That scratch inside of it is really dope!
After awhile the hats disappeared with another sounds, that's a sick attribution to the beat

Both good work!
Hard to decide who the winner is with this one...

I liked them all but this is my fav beat ever from @MicroDotCotton - The psychedelic flow is irresistble and sounds/mixing/mastering is awesome. @P.A.T. wonderful too. Proflific and never a lack of quality, with the P.AT. legendary taste for the melodies. I like very much when your beats has that retro spy story feel, like John Barry. Get used to it because everyone will tell you: I have two beats, both very beautiful, and choosing one is a painful choice.

@MicroDotCotton nice mix. Such an intersting texture these type of beats, I'd probably struggle to get this style of mix in a way i felt comfortable doing! Nice rhythms, cool vibes, great work.

@P.A.T. nice production. nice composition. some of the sounds feel like a little random, like they're presets that don't belong together. which I don't mind with the casio keyboard type sound, or the flute, but I think 'because there's a bunch of different things, it can be too much different things that it pulls away from a unified 'vibe' of the record --- like i said, composition is cool, mix is cool, but I almost start to get lost on what im supposed to experience, sometimes felt like a presets-demo.

Only thing I'd add mix-wise is the kick could maybe have more sub/speaker excursion.

Good work @ both

@Iron Keys Thanks for the feed back. No presets, just me adding too many sounds like I do sometimes... I usually add a bunch of different sounds to show artists some options when they listen and I end up leaving too many in when I submit the track on here...
