@Ill Mind the Blap God breaks down his beatmaking philosophies and creative choices as he layers HYBRID KEYS and LO-Fi GLOW in Reason to create a multi-textured melody, then kicks it up a notch with huge sub bass, trap hi-hats, and hard-hitting kicks from MASSIVE X and BATTERY NOW, all powered by NI’s KOMPLETE KONTROL S61 keyboard.
