Only recently clocked on to this amazing act! After I missed him at White Dubai I finally saw him live here in Riyadh playing in a venue made of shipping containers - it was a spiritual experience as he closed off day 2 of SoundStorm at 3am and his sound was the perfect closure. Inspirational person and Rapture just hits me every time! Incredible that you are already showing his methodology- big thank you for that! There are just too many genres in EDM to choose from and focus on producing!

Hey Will, love your videos man, and I think you just might be the guy to break down a style that no one seems to want to attempt- and perhaps it’s because no one is quite sure what style it would even fit into- I’m talking about the psy-bass-tribal house-acid dub-chill offerings of talented producers like Kalya Scintilla, desert dwellers, atyya, whitebear, etc. please refer to Lionize by Kalya Scintilla , this is what I’m after. Hope to see you tackle this unique style, thanks!!

One thought though, these beats could sound even better with some grooves to make it a bit more human. No criticism on your track in any way though, just an afterthought.
