Totem

Hey everyone,
We made it to week 4! Only..48 left wink

Well anyway, I made the skeleton to Totem on last Monday with the idea of a climbing song.
Then ironically my gf anna banana wanted to watch the movie "Fall" which was wild. So we did and
now I don't think I captured the same mount of adrenaline but there's hella reverb to go around.
Hope the bass isn't too loud, I've only heard this on my earbuds.

Totem is kind of a crazy song so I thank you if you listened. High five if its your vibe too.

I've been bringing my headphones to work so I can listen to everyone's songs. So much music this year, a lot of DnB songs I like.
Stay warm till' next week, peace.

this song makes me move my body to the sound! not sure why...

jokes aside great beat and pumpin bassline. I only watched first half of that movie because i found it v cringe and couldn't bother finishing it. this song on the other hand is much better.

bass loudness / mix overall is great in my book!

I see what you did there lol

Thanks horatiuromantic, I’m happy to hear that from you, It’ll get the car test on my ride home today.

really nice groove here.

I love the atmosphere of this track. Really great mix, clean, bouncing, and the vocals are a nice touch.

I’m aiming for this, so it feels great to hear your feedback. Thanks for listening Kedbreak136

Great mix and quite a buildup. The bass is solid, and I love what you do getting from the less intrussive "sinewavy" main bass to that kind of "FM Solid Bass" that appears at 1:15.

I'm really glad you enjoyed the grooves and instruments, this song is one of my favorites I've made. Thanks Laguna
