The intro reminds of a David Banner/ TI type joint. That synth that comes in at 0:16 is interesting, it may be a bit too up-front in the mix, but cool addition. I really like the use of choirs and strings. They add an epic, grand, and cinematic quality to the whole beat. If I could offer a suggestion, mix and match "Big and Epic" with "Simple and reserved." For example the big brass/strings use a simpler trap beat, just kicks and snares maybe some sparse hihats. Then the guitar mellow stuff, use some more intricate hi-hat lines. Cool beat, I'm not a trap person myself, but definitely cool!

@DJ Excellence

Man, you know you never miss haha. Another dope remix. I've said it before, but you do a great drop of matching the original and elevating the vibe or emotion you want.

@C12omega

I like the dark atmosphere you establish early on. As mentioned, I'm not a huge trap fan, but I think you got all the trade-marks here. I especially like the SFX for transitions.

@TjombaBeats

"Just a Dimension" leans on that industrial side. I imagine this is the type of beat Trent Reznor would make if he produced a trap album. I can also hear it in the rave scene of The Matrix 2. Sonically, it's all over the place - but I think that's what you were going for. That being said, no sound seems out of place and work towards the overall vibe. Weird, cool, and definitely a trip!

"Just a Number" - A lot of the same notes. I think I'd like to hear more dynamics, quieter and softer sections next to this big industrial sections. I like the more delicate pianos and subtle harmonic things here. I prefer this over Dimension. I think the melody/harmony is a little more straight ahead with just enough experimental/industrial dusted around it. I hear a lot of eastern influence scales and notes here too, which is also cool!

Was trying to get an early Def Jux/Aesop Rock type of beat going.

I like the blend of boombap style drums, synths, and guitars from that era of El-P and Def Jux in general. The only thing I didn't really get, so I didn't leave in were the janky, off-quantized drums. I think I got a bit of it with the hi-hats. Day 15 of Jamuary done. So glad to be half way through as I'm running out of musical ideas lol.
