Funsai suru - Crush


Crushing hot peppers makes sambal, and if you wanna crush ice, just be kawaii.


It's my approximation of Samba, but then it gets dark.


Any and all comments are welcome! hate it? love it? feel indifferent about it? let me know!

I feel like with a few more elements this could be a well-rounded track. I like the ideas in here, does feel like it needs more to be more cohesive, if that makes sense lmao. The chiptune arp, although sparse does a good job at that

That's one funky beach party.

I think the kalimba needs a bit more power to it.

Very nice, this one has an unusual swing but it works really well heart I love the main melody, and how this tune varies as it goes along. Great stuff heart

love the drumbeat.  agreed with Devieus, stronger KALIMBA

You're right, Samba is really not my thing, and i was kind of struggling to fill the voids, halfway i decided to just fsck it and go dark again tongue

Thnx dude!
You're absolutely right, listening to this after a few weeks. it could do with some better mixing in general.

Thnx man! that samba swing is very unusual to pop music, i think. it's fun to explore different genres.

When trying to emulate samba, the drumbeat was the first thing i worked on. glad to hear it came out okay! smile
