Hello everyone, hope you’re all good! I started this UKG beat last week, i’ve chopped the vocals from a grime set and had to do a lot of eq’ing. Do you think it fits the energy or doesnt work at all? Thank you.

Hey man - love this. Need to hear this on the biggest sound system possible.
The vocals work great imo (I’m barely a producer so can’t give you technical feedback, only how i felt listening to it) - adds an extra dimension to the overall track. Also like the sparse use of it - feel like sometimes you can spoil a vocal sample by over using it, which deffo isn’t the case here. In terms of energy - feel like UKG and grime go hand in hand. both high energy, feels like they’re in conversation with each other.
Looking forward to hearing the finished track.
thank you @Cal_Pirate! I only wanted the vocal as an extra dimension for the build up and not a lead so thats spot on that you’ve said that
Easy Coinzy just had a couple listens, the vocal chop def suits the vibe! One thing I’d suggest in those build sections where the sample is repeating on a loop is instead experiment with letting the sample hit once then ring out with a reverb / delay throw for a bar or 2 then hitting it again, maybe use some auto pan while its ringing out to give it even more sense of space. I think given the atmospheric build you’re going for that would help it sit into the track better (less being more), only increasing the hype / repetition towards the drop (which you’re already doing and I think that bits perfect ). Tracks gonna bang hit me when its finished
Yeah thats some boss feedback that mate, i really like that idea. I’m gonna let it sit for a week or so i think and come at it fresh and i’ll definitely get on that idea @faisal_pirate. thank you G
Hey Coinzy,
Genuinely love the production on here, warm and tight.
One thing I might look at is the vocal sample, feels like it drags/is a little late? A little nip and tuck will make a big diff to the flow/rhythm and lock everything in.
Big tune though.
Thank you mate! It could well be tbh. I’ll definitely make sure thats as tight as it can be when i go over it again! Just making a list for it now haha @Benny_Boy
of course mate!
We’re playing it in the Bristol office btw
hahaha amazing, love that
Never would i have imagined i would have my tunes playing in the pirate studios office when i started booking the Bradford production studio not so long ago
@COINZY Not in the studio now so not going to do the injustice of listening to this on the shitty speakers of a phone, looking forward to giving it a spin on proper speakers given the feedback from the community so far!
Relly sick! Love the percussion and the Grime vocals; gives it a really nice nostalgic feel. I think the sample with the delay on it that comes in around 2:39 is a little too loud. Bassline is really nice too and I reckon @faisal_pirate has some great ideas that’d execute really well on it. Good work man!
Damn finally got around to pulling up some tracks in the studio went to listen to yours @COINZY and you’ve pulled it …ah well I’ll catch your next one hopefully
Sorry boss! I made the changes and sent it to some DJ’s, been downloaded by some RInse dj’s and balamii so fingers crossed on some radio plays. Coming out with a label in 3 weeks
I’ll be posting more soon for sure
Nice one! and congrats! All the best with the release looking forward to hearing your future work.
