Coaching notes
- Experiment with brief, high-pass filtered breakdowns to create more dramatic 'drops' within the hypnotic flow.
- Introduce a non-percussive, atmospheric element (e.g., a long, evolving pad) to add emotional depth.
- Try a sudden, dry cut between two high-energy tracks to disrupt the flow and re-engage the listener's attention.
