Coaching notes

Experiment with subtle high-pass filter sweeps to add micro-tension.
Consider a brief 'silent' breakdown to reset the crowd's ears before a major melodic shift.
Continue to prioritize harmonic compatibility in your long blends.
Experiment with more aggressive EQ cuts to create cleaner separation in long blends.
Introduce occasional melodic or vocal highlights to break the percussive linearity.
Use FX (reverb/delay) to smooth out transitions between tracks with different ambient textures.
