Sup porter robinson?

The mix definitely needs some work.
The melody at 1:05 sounds pretty cool. Overall good job! I like it.

As if this track wasn't fantastic enough the vocal samples, chip arp, and plucks fucking did me in.

Great job!

The build, the energy, the synths, it's all pretty great.
But once it hits the chorus is just got so... Busy? The sounds are overlapping on the same frequencies and the mix sounds pretty messy. Besides that the melody and structure of the track isn't very different from the original. but that's just me.

Overall I think you did a fine job, and it sounds awesome. Good luck on the contest.

That is one comprehensive Hin-Hon. Hadn't seen it, thanx. Related: this particular pictured example was modified by a dude named Toast. It has a RCA video in, and a RCA video out. Brutal. Just dug it out.

  Must see it in use. That sounds badass.

On the opposite side of this conversation, if you feel like doing a little more research on modes i'd recommend checking out Modal Jazz as well. This book I just googled a few minutes ago puts pretty well.

The term “modal jazz” refers to improvisational music that is organized in a scalar (“horizontal”) way rather than in a chordal (“vertical”) manner. By de-emphasizing the role of chords, a modal approach forces the improviser to create interest by other means: melody, rhythm, timbre, and emotion. A modal piece will generally use chords, but the chords will be more or less derived from the prevailing mode.

Modal music is a seriously interesting take on music that I haven't seen used in electronic music too often outside of music with jazz samples or jazz inspired electronic music. If you need to brush up on scales learning to play or write some modal music is the way to go.

Meet the Hin-Hon Ek-001...

I'm sure you've seen THIS already but holy shit. I've just moved countries so I'm still waiting on my gear to get me but once it does I think I'll be doing this to mine.
