I thought this track was done and dusted.. then I listened to it again! After tons of sleepless nights, and some deep listening to the song outside of my studio space, I realized.. We still have some work to do.. So Today I'm going to go over the notes I made for myself to finish the track,, and I'm sure you’ll be able to find these notes helpful for some music you might be working on! Think of them as Tips and tricks to make house music
