Hi!
I was putting together this track today, and in the last couple of hours I've been stuck in this loop, no way out lol!
Well, since you guys have a good taste for psy, I was wondering what you think of this idea. The essence is there, don't know if a keep going or it's just too cliche and cheesy, maybe start over???
Looking foward to hear your honorable opinions!!
Download the WAV file and put your player on repeat mode lol!
It's not very EQ'd and balanced, so no judging on the mix, only the idea!

you should absolutely continue with this track! as for getting out of the loop, maybe just duplicate the kick and the bass and then start over on everything else, that can give you a good new section to build the body of the tune.
imho, and for the most part, usually, etc etc, you can remove the cheese element of ALMOST anything by making it psychedelic enough. if you toss some spiraling noises and bubbles into this one i think you will be definetly moving in the right direction --

Wazzup!
Nice loop you got here dont you even think about quitting, were the loop stops leave only the ritmic synth playing get some good airy pads, open them really wide, fix some gritty saw synths, prepare a nice drum/ percussion groove, now make a sweep intro and BOOOMMM make them DANCE!
Maybe ad on the second part a stronger snare with a nice loose reverb and a reverse snare to go with it for some sweeping fxs it gives a stronger pace.

nice loop. sounds a bit harsh in the high end, but musical wise its nice!
what i would do:
tweak a nice squelch. looooong dub style delay. one hit and let it run.. insert bass.
add some more fx sounds or a pad atmo. build up slowly from there. add some percussion here and there (ethnic stuff).
let the bass kick in and slowly put in all your sounds from that loop one after the other. vary forth and back and whatnot.
its a hypnotic style you go for so no need for drastic changes.. long delays. reversed wooshes.. chord stabs to make the loops blend in nicely. maybe some fx with loooong verb tail..

WOw, thx a lot for the uplifting comments! I really feel humble!
This is what motivates me to keep going, I'm glad there's people out there that appreciates my stuff and care to listen and give feedback.
I'm sorry taking this long to reply, but I work so much that when I come home or have a free time I just wanna collapse in bed or do other stuff outside my house... Also use my free time to study music and produce, so, sometimes I just keep off the internet for a while. Anyways, I'm working on this loop (now becoming a track) and taking all your advices!!
