Intermission

I need to give myself more time / need to find more time for my weekly beats.

The track started with a 5/5 (five to the wife? XD) kick and started building from there. There are actually a lot of non-regular loops going on; some have seven bars, others 13, 19, 2.1, etc.
In the end, I decided to remove one 5-bar high hat because it didn't mesh well with the regular 4-bar hat, but I still gave the 5-bar version some space where it was possible.

As for the title, it felt like someone would play between sets when they still needed to set up gear or when the crowd needed to wait for the next artist or main show. Either that or when one needs a quick toilet break during a long set XD

Considering I didn't give myself enough time to tinker with the track, I think it worked out nicely.

5 weeks to go! we can do this!

For something you supposedly ran out of time on, this came out really well. You nailed the acceleration; it starts slow and builds into something super propulsive. I was tapping my foot. Nicely done!
