your song offers two sides. One wants to go to sleep and the other is a deeply concentrated rhythmprogrammer. This is a nice combination and works fine for me.

I like the sound of the kick on this track. It has a lot of definition, very clear and hits very cleanly. It's a nice beat!

This is so chill. I can hear a rapper over it. Someone like JPEGMAFIA

Glad you were still able to put something together, the beat with the pads works, there is enough variation with the drums to keep everything moving

Wie geht's, Q-Rosh?!?. It's a nice way to see it, indeed. Glad you found it positive. You know that sometimes at the end of a hard work's day nothing makes much sense anymore.

By the way, "rhytmusprogrammierer" could be such a killer track name. Is it gramatically correct?

Thanks a lot for listening, man

Thanks for the positivity, Drew Although when I watch your videos... man, you're doing whole episodes with each track, and playing all the instruments!. Next to that, I'm just a dude pushing some keys.

I could send you some beat sometime, if you're interested, and maybe you can make your magic happen.

Glad you liked the track, man. Lots of love to you also. Keep being that cool

I used a sampled DR-550 mark 1 kick, though the box is basically a late-80's Roland rompler with almost no control, so you could recreate it anywhere.

Since I create loops with some grooveboxes/drummachines/trackers, then resample and chop them as if they were breaks AND I almost always pitch them down, the transients lost a lot of definition. I've struggled with that for years and just relatively recently realize, hearing the young IDM kids, that I could combine those "cheesy" pop/rock drum machines for better definition.

They were completely uncool when I was young in the 90s, so we avoided them like the plague, but now I understand why they sit well into any mix, instead of trying to make everything rumble with an ultra low bass drum.

Sorry for the long rant. I love to talk production.

Thanks a lot for listening, really

I tried to find some fellow rappers back in the late 90's/early 2000's who would rhyme over my music, but I was mostly told to be "too electronic" for them. Now I'm old and the trap kids just want 808 hihat triplets :-)

I'm checking the dude... this JPEGMAFIA cat seems intense, man!. I'll admit I'm completely out of touch with what's happening on the scene right now, apart from some isolated exceptions. I discovered Logic very late and the last stuff I enjoyed was Das Racist, EL-P and some Mr Muthafuckin' eXquire. The moment I started NOT getting what was so great about Kanye or Kendrick, I went back to all instrumental hip hop. Guess I'm simply old

Glad you chilled with it. Thanks a lot for listening

Thanks a lot, Jason! Now, being more rested, I actually like the song, though. I'd maybe add some really sparse bass notes, though the "303 bassline" way I was trying before... I think it will never work!

Sometimes it's hard not to be focused on just "one way" and get stuck because of it

Rhythmusprogrammierer would be right.

Solid trip hop track

So much snap in the beat. Not too sparse. The percussion work kicks ass! Hypnotic but constantly evolving.

Really cool use of those dark pads with the percussion. I like the ambience of how the beat and pads combine. It’s a cool effect. Well done!
