    Coaching notes

    • Continue to leverage the industrial acoustics of the venue with sparse, high-impact elements.
    • Maintain the current layering density to keep the groove hypnotic but evolving.
    • Monitor the sub-bass levels to ensure they don't overwhelm the percussive transients in the mix.
