This stemmed from a distorted glockenspiel sample I found, so of course i just wanted to slam some drums around it with a very big snare sound. Lyrics and vox for next week.

Really great drum beat and upbeat feeling at the beginning!

Really interesting textures and exploration in the middle.

If you are going to work on lyrics and vox for next week, could I please humbly suggest that you make more use of, or occasionally revisit the upbeat poppy feeling section and synth part at the beginning from 0 to 0:15? I was waiting for it to return, and I feel like it's a really strong part that could get more shine.

But overall, another great beat! Well done Wendi!!

Thank you so much for the critique! Yeah, I should revisit that synth from the beginning as a way to break up the relentlessness.
And I love throwing in an open hi hat on the 3&4, it feels very disco, like I’m Nile Rodgers or something.
