i'll defo have to do something about the clap. i listened to this on some different speakers and it jumped right out. as for genre, my current philosophy is that rather than think about what defines a genre and what has to be done to push it forward, i'll just make whatever my heart tells me to and not worry about it.
somebody else suggested more movement in the pads, which i'll take onboard as well. also considering trying to squeeze some more percs in there. will repost when i've made the changes.
