Coaching notes
- Continue to leverage the unique 'Future House' sound to maintain a strong artistic signature.
- Experiment with longer, more atmospheric breakdowns to create greater contrast with the high-energy drops.
- Ensure that vocal elements are always given enough space in the mix to avoid mid-range clutter.
- Use more dramatic filter sweeps to build tension.
- Incorporate a 'reset' moment with a longer melodic breakdown.
- Experiment with more varied percussion patterns in the transitions.
