This is another hard choice. First, both of you have your unique voices, something I really envy. @Kane the MOD has that trademark raw sound in his outputs that I like so much, and when he delivers those stopped chops, it is extra dope. This underground late-night vibe is brilliant with that work of strings, and the kind of unquantized grid is very pleasing.

@P.A.T. has his own sound—clean and transparent—where there's room for every single instrument to have a clear position. However, in my opinion, his uniqueness lies in the monstrous sense of melody, always with a melancholic touch.

I voted for something just to not leave this fight behind, but it's not definitive, and it probably never will be, at least in my mind.

You pulled out another banger. You drums are so on point and the piano chords and melody variations are flawless. Are the strings a classical music flip?
Just the very first note that kind of drags out a little bit. All of the rest of the keys I came up with and played on my 88 key keyboard. Thanks for the nice comments! I really like your track but think it would be so much better if you had the timing on point! Your sound choices go great together and it's a dope track! That's just my personal preference about the timing of course. Others (as said by another above) like that its not quantized which btw I have never done once since I began making music. I definitely do as many takes as needed to get it close to perfect and then usually duplicate the loop. To each their own!!!! Anyways, nice track & good luck! Remind me to never comment on here when I smoke herb.... lol

@Kane the MOD - Cool chops, a bit more 'anchored' rhythmically, which I appreciate. That Rick bass tone is really dope! Cool sample and nice chops. After listening to your recent music, I think one thing I'd like to hear from you is getting all the elements of the beat to blend in together. Not sure how to explain it, but it's kinda like drums, samples, instrumentation are all sort of sitting on-top of each other. Having them woven together a bit more would really help pull out some dynamics and interesting interplay. Just a suggestion.

@P.A.T. - You doing ok bruh? Last couple beats kinda sound like you're in your feels lol. Seriously though, love the emotion of this and the expressiveness you get with the piano. Of course, I appreciate old school break style drums. This is really good. You don't have to say, but what are you using for strings? They sound very natural and have the trem and articulation that's hard to emulate. Really well composed piece of music here bro!

@Kane the MOD if i didn't know better, i would think this one is something premier would make
So...that's some positive compliment
I love that female chop you put inside there, but i'm still figuring out what she is saying
Break away? Take Away?
Dope work man!

@P.A.T. love how that piano starts and the drums kick in, unlike that other battle with the hats, right now they are on point
Very solid work on this one!
