I was inspired by the song 'Shella verse' by Sammy Virji and Flowdan. The 2 step intricate drum pattern creates a bouncy groove that makes people want to dance. I tried replicating similar drums that typically fit in the genre of house to similarly create a dance groove on top of a bouncy, bright melody. The rapper Flowdan, has a dominant, deep voice over the track which really pops out with the contrast of a bright melody and bouncy drums. I also tried to replicate this style through mixing using compression and various channel EQ's to make the vocal the most dominant feature despite the loud, bouncy drums and the bright, colourful melody. The song was then lifted when it was finally mastered, reducing the dynamic range whilst simultaneously making the overall sound louder and punchier.
