hey thanks for the feedback, I thought I was getting brushed over! the slidey synth is probably annoying at times haha, it's really there more for the setup when the key shifts: I like playing with melodies/riffs and putting them in a different context from time to time.
I would like to know what you mean by side-chaining it if you could elaborate (like to the kick/another instance with volume compression or something else)?
glad you like the switchups and grindy bass and all that. the grime over the bass is really just the 808 super saturated and highpassed if you're interested, pretty good way to add harmonics that I've picked up from producers like g-jones and ekali.
lmk if you ever need feedback in the present or future
