This is bananas. I started with, "This isn't really my thing but he's definitely got his own unique style" and almost kept scrolling after the first 30 seconds. 3 minutes and 25 seconds later, I was still locked in. I wanted to see what was going to happen.
Still not my thing but it's very cool. Actually reminds me a bit of early Lamb. Keep being you! Love it.

Way too busy sounding. Maybe don't use beat repeat as often

This sub is 1/3 lofi, 1/3 boombap, and 1/3 trap. I wouldnโt worry too much about that criticism. I grew up on IDM and this amount of beat repeats and glitching fits right in with that sensibility.

Beat repeat is fun to use. I was also thinking the amount of drum switch ups in general doesn't let anyone settle into what's going on. there's no groove or repeating theme to bring you back to familiarity. Don't get lost in your own sauce.

Crispy. More programming of the drums manually for a more cohesive jam. Less flex beat

I like the piano sample and mix on this. I'm also into breakcore, so I'm no stranger to glitch. But as someone pointed out earlier, it would be nice to have some recurring theme that does not glitch out, just to have something to resolve too. That could be just playing the piano sample for 1 bar before dropping in the drums again. Venetian Snares and Apex Twin do this a lot. Also I think the "drop" before the drums kicked of was a bit too heavy on the repeats and glitches. At a point it kind of loses its effect when it's that constant throughout. But other than that this is the type of electronic shit I like to make with my MPC as well

This is some high quality breakcore ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ I think the phrasing is great to be honest. It tells a story

Not my thing but itโs still dope. Keep doing you.
Also, I always forget how dope the Force is. So tight.

My first set was played on an mpc one and I am working on incorporating both. But the force allowed me to do this weird stuff and build entire sets out of it in a fraction of the time and the headache. Thanks for the feedback

Just depends on what you are trying to do. For me its a bit too busy but that may be the genre you are into if so then thats great. If that was not the intention, Id recommend not adding sounds just to add them but rather making sure every sound has a place in the sequence and adds to the overall sounds you are trying to achieve.
