Coaching notes
- Experiment with very brief moments of silence or total frequency cuts to create a 'reset' for the listener.
- Incorporate a track with a more prominent sub-bass melody to add a different dimension to the groove.
- Try a slightly more aggressive EQ swap in one transition to provide a moment of surprise.
