Wherever this song is, I wanna be there for a while
Lovely atmosphere with the synths especially the flutey chords, sounding very lush in a way I find hard to achieve on M8, great work on the sound design!

Great track. Tiny nitpick: Do watch out with the ringing of the hats/hat-reverbs, especially on club/festival speakers those would cut hard.

Oh good call on the kick - that sounds great! Can't remember what the 606 clap sounds like with yours going...maybe that's just proof of concept? I love the simple, chill feeling. Absolute beach vibes.

thank you so much!

all the cool kids are doing it

thank you! i miss the beach so much

thanks buddy

thanks i really appreciate that!

Thank you so much that means a lot!
I confess though, that chord was a sample and not created on M8 but now im very eager to try and sound design airy/fluty chords like that on M8 directly. gonna need to deep dive on it!
appreciate the kind words so glad you liked my track 🙂

in that case I have succeeded. glad you liked it

thank you!

thanks bud

let's go together!

much appreciated! thank you

*warning, excuses incoming*
these old man ears can no longer detect harsh high frequency tones
my tracks are relegated to bedroom listening
i didn't have enough time
i did the whole mixdown on M8 on a pair of koss headphones that look like walkman headphones from the 90s

glad you liked the vibes though and i very much appreciate the nitpick!

i might have been harsh on the 606 clap but it was very unfitting in this mix. so i opted for the classic 808 clap instead. the kick however was from a vengence pack that i've had for maybe 15 years now that has served me well for many years.
im very glad you liked it thank you 🙂 means a lot

Very nice relaxing vibe, love the very reverb-y high notes, they remind me of the 2000s in a fun way

Smooooooooooth sailing. Keep on keeping on! M8 is a beast. Need to get back to tracking at some point, it’s so easy to build grooves!

Best thing in this track was the ”stillness” and lack of hurry.

Ps. What kind of swing settings dif you have there on groove table?

Thank you so much that's very much the vibe i was hoping people would get. im glad it reminded you of that era.

Thank you! yeah M8 is awesome, when it clicks right.
I think this song's groove was using the latest firmware on 192 PPQ and 3F/21

I love this new resolution because you can have much nicer control. 

thanks! glad you liked it 🙂

+1 on this, short melodic lines are perfect. little bites of sweet fruit in a smooth drink.

Extra ordinarily groovy! That bass!

just when i thought it cant get any better, the lead starts doing the little pitchbends (first around 3:08). Dang.... what a smooth track.
See you later guys, i am off to the beach! 8)

Those verb-drenched melodic instruments are wonderful

You know the way to my heart, pitched lowtom/kick in syncopation. Nice work!

keeping it tropical in these cold months! glad you liked it! 🙂

thank you!

thank you very much! i was quite proud of those little pitch plays. at first it didn't have it but at some point while listening to the lead line i started feeling like it was feeling more like a guitar is playing it instead of a synth. so i thought about how a guitar would play certain notes and the interplay between them and added some bends and slides to accentuate that feeling. lil inside baseball for ya

so glad you liked it!

the SO seal of approval is the most sought after one! i am humbled!

thank you! glad you liked it.

yeaaaa i love it too. toms as a bass line to counter balance the kick is such a nice move.
happy you enjoyed that 🙂

Sounds like a house classic already, really great restraint in the arrangement too. Nice job!

The sustained airy chords definitely take me to the beach. Love the space you gave to the rhythm and percussion, it builds quite nonchalantly and delivers lots of ear candy along the way. Overall I felt it was a lovely, soft track with a keen sense of groove.

I went to the beach once in my backyard on the sand circle leftover from where our childhood above ground pool use to sit. The mushrooms opened the portal but the music guided us to the beach, would have loved to have this one accompany us!

Thanks for the inside, its always interesting to know about the thought process!
one day later these bends still hit so good. without those bends, it would still be a fcking great track, but for me personally they take the song on another level.  so thanks again for tickling my brain.

Groooovy. Instant vibes. The modulation and accents on your lead are so good and add such organic vocal like texture to it. Awesome work.

606, as mentioned in the discord... Underrated. Fits in and sounds good in mixes almost everywhere

Nice smooth groove in this one. Very spacious. It reminds me of riding my bike at night as the sun is setting.

It seems like I'm the TR-707 guy here on Weekly Beats. Glad to see a TR-606 connoisseur, too! Both are underrated, but can be deadly effective if used well. And you demonstrate the power of the 606 really well here. The tune doesn't sound like the beach to me. It sounds like cruising down California 1 at sunset with the top down. Serene and soothing, but with a sense of forward motion. Quietly confident. Calmly joyful.

No notes, five stars.

This is a great track. I’m super impressed that you did all the mastering on the M8 as well. Everything sounds beautifully put together. Fantastic work!

Getting late afternoon beach vibes from the track, that title definitely fits! The (enhanced) 606 sounds really good here, not always easy to find the right space for it.
