Coaching notes
- Maintain the current BPM to preserve the hypnotic lock.
- Use the 'Content' vocal motif as a recurring anchor throughout the set.
- Gradually introduce more organic percussion (congas/bongos) to warm up the digital feel.
- Continue to trust the long-form blends; they are your greatest asset in this genre.
- Experiment with very brief, high-pass filtered 'teases' of upcoming tracks to build anticipation.
- Consider using a touch more reverb on the modular bleeps to create a greater sense of 3D space.
