Coaching notes
- Experiment with slightly more aggressive EQ cuts to create more dramatic rhythmic shifts.
- Use vocal stems more frequently to add a human element to the percussive drive.
- Consider a brief 'reset' moment with total silence or ambient textures to heighten the impact of the next kick re-entry.
- Continue to leverage long blends to maintain the hypnotic Afro-house flow.
- Experiment with subtle reverb washes on the master during transitions to enhance the 'organic' feel.
- Maintain the current level of percussive density; it is perfectly balanced for this style.
