@Lydian thanks for all that. I'd definitely be down to skype if you have some time, sent you a pm!

@Lydian and Cryophonic, thank you! This is what I was talking about, and I should have rephrased "complex". I'm not talking like crazy extensions and voicings but rather I should have said "less boring" haha.

Here's some progressions I pulled from my songs, I added some comments on the track just breaking down what I did roughly, what I like and where I feel they're lacking.

As far as other artist's progressions that I like:

I transcribed this one into midi before and these were my findings:
8 bars long
Key of Bm
no fifths besides in the first chord which is just root and fifth, third intervals give these chords their feel. The roots of the chords ascend diatonically through the scale until the drop before the last chord in the sequence. Every chord before this is a buildup to this mini-tension/resolution (if you can call it that).

These chords are C#m - A - Bm. C# to A is a major third down, A to B is major second up. Also A is the seventh chord of the scale which resolves nicely to the "home" chord B. Cryophonik, I see what you mean here by ascending by seconds/fourths and descending by thirds/fifths. I'm going to stay conscious of this now.

Also worth noting, the chords generally hit on offbeats which keeps the groove going and makes the last chord, which hits on the first beat of the bar, hit way way more stronger.

Next Progression, Jon Hopkin's Abandon is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Took some time to deconstruct it and here's what I found:

I used this site which gave me the chords. Normally I'd figure it out by ear but this would be lengthier than I have the time to do today

This one is also in the key of B major I believe. Just for my own convenience, chords of B are:
B C#min D#min Emaj F#maj G#min Adim

The progression is
B D#m F# C# F# Abm
B F# C# F#
B F# D#m
I'll keep it at that as it's super long

but looking at the rest of it, yeah I'm finding that trick to be true here as well but I wouldn't have guessed it based on the previous analysis considering how much more emotional this one is. I'm guessing that comes from the fact that its in a major key. I know the minor = sad, major = happy idea doesn't always hold true but I guess I'm just so used to writing in minor keys that I never would have figured it might be in a major key. It could be possible that it's in it's relative minor but the B major chord does seem to be the "home" chord here.

Got a bit in depth there but I felt it was worth sharing. Those are two progressions that have stood out to me that I can recall right now.

My background is in melodic/progressive metal music so I know how to construct a bunch of "complex" chords on the fretboard and theoretically but I'm finding even when I'm able to translate it in the piano roll I can't make anything useable, as in a sensible progression that leads somewhere. I love the "spacey" feel of second intervals and ninths but I'm finding that harder to implement in the electronic world. Even using sixths and sevenths begins to sound cliche future bass when used on every chord.

So I suppose a more concise question would be, are there any resources that you guys know that would help me get a better understanding of how to use these extended chords more "methodically" (i guess, stuck to find the right word here) and anywhere where I can learn more on voice leading! I know my knowledge is definitely lacking in that department. Lastly, is there anything I should be taking note of in the future that I didn't note in these deconstructions here that would be a significant factor in the feel of a progression?

Again thanks for your guys' help, this is what I was looking for!

So I've been playing guitar a long ass time so I know my basic theory (scales, intervals, constructing chords, etc) and I've written some melodically complex stuff, I just feel like I don't have the best understanding of how to create chord progressions, or rather why certain chords work they way they do with eachother. I've checked out a ton of stuff online already but nothing I've found really goes in depth.

Every so often I can write a dope chord progression but it's hit or miss every session, I'd like to have a bit more in depth understanding of that stuff so what resources could you guys recommend me?

digging the chiptune vibe, its getting me nostalgic about 2nd gen pokemon haha. also reminds me of early monstercat. Piano could use a touch of reverb I'd say. I also agree you could widen up the lead a bit. The groove in the drop sounds really mechanical when the drums start playing quicker like 1:05, mess with the velocities of some of the hits. I'm digging the dubsteppy wobbles and stuff between the chords. the one at 0:48 sounds a bit dull imo, maybe just raise the highs in your eq. This is cool though man, really liking the vibe behind this one!

Agreed with the muddy low end of the mix, also it hits fine for the amount of tension you've built up. Dont underestimate the importance of a good buildup. Taking out some lows gradually over the course of the buildup is something I do a lot. also study this http://edmprod.com/tension/ , i hope you like reading. It's a bit long but absolutely worth it

I'm a fan of the screechy lead. Dope ideas here man, I'd say the drop still feels like its missing something though in some areas. It doesn't sound "full" all the way through out if you know what I mean. Looking forward to hearing the full thing, I dig it

Well, from my point of view, it's just a pain to set everything to +0.50, especially when working with synthesizers. I'm not sure though really, I feel like I might try it properly and see how it goes. I think it's just a personal laziness (Which I'm also guilty for )

However I believe this producer uses quarter tones in his melody sections which you might find interesting. Check out 0:41.

Dude thanks for sharing, this is amazing!
