Bro, you’re by far the most genuine and kind soul amongst other house/tech house producers out there. Much love and respect to you from a fellow socal producer. (Not yet full time, but I am working towards it). Thank you !

Question about your secret top loop. Is that part of your signature sound? Do you put it in most of your tracks? Only reason I ask is I am trying to figure out what makes an artist unique. I tend to reuse certain drum samples/loops and I would be hesitant also to tell people where I got them because in my opinion, it what makes my stuff unique.

Quick question though, I wanna join your Kick & Bass, but I don´t own a creditcard. Is there any options in the future you guys give a option to pay with Paypal? I can get a Go card, you can add money on it and pay with it like a creditcard, but I rather just pay with Paypal because it´s easier for me atm. Thanks in advance!

It seems the trend now is for producers to avoid splice vocal loops for their main vocals cause all the other producers/labels will recognize the really good loops 😆 Also you didn't bring up the return tracks, so I'll just go out on a limb and guess it's parallel compression/delay/reverb, just to make the song a little bit louder and fuller, add that oomf.
