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.

@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!
