It's here! Track by me amongst a lot of friends and producers I admire.
Trickshot was the first track I ever completed - but it was kind of incomplete, and only came about after a series of happy(ish) accidents. There's one gun clock sample which layered when I'd copied it by accident but it happened to sound great as it was really off-kilter and steppy - this became the percussion and created a swing. It was something I was unable to recreate after I lost all the stems in a careless move (I was new at Ableton - young and reckless!) In the end all I had was quite a raw version of the track - stripped back, with only a few elements. It felt like there was a bit of a lesson in that - don't try to do too much or overthink the process.
Anyway I hope you enjoy it more than I did then but as much as I do now.
