Coaching notes

- Use EQ automation to create more movement in static loops.
- Experiment with minor-key tracks to add emotional depth.
- Use more dramatic EQ cuts during transitions to signal the change to the listener.
- Incorporate a 'wildcard' track that breaks the tropical house formula to surprise the audience.
- Experiment with varying the transition lengths; not every blend needs to be 32 bars.
- Introduce more rhythmic variation in the final quarter to maintain engagement.
- Experiment with shorter, more dynamic transitions to break the long-blend monotony.
- Use more dramatic tension/release techniques during breakdowns.
- Incorporate a few 'surprise' tracks that deviate slightly from the core tropical sound.
