Each on it’s own is very cool. Sometimes when they clash they go off beat. I have a freind that does the same thing and he loves it. Was that your intent? Being and old school dog here at the mixter i’m trying to keep an open mind to different styles. Much respect…keep doing your thing.

But it might have been more fun here to alternate the differing beats to reach a more clean, old-school sound. I prefer things beatless, myself, but I didn’t think that my usual ambient track would merit “it’s a hot one, baby!”. Thanks for reviewing it.

I had originally thought this too tame, but now I think it may indeed work better this way, though it’s a bit less raucous. Thanks.
