🔊 Track Structure: Section Bars Description Intro 4-8 Lo-fi textures, reversed sample, subtle tabla loop, vinyl crackle → tease main melody. Verse 1 16 Full beat kicks in — drums, bass, soft synths. Keep it tight and clean. Chorus (Hook) 8 BIG energy – layered 808s, clap/snare combo, pitch-bent synth. Add vocal chops for depth. Verse 2 16 Add a sitar riff or filter the beat slightly for texture switch-up. Chorus 8 Repeat hook section – even fatter. Drop the beat in last 2 bars. Verse 3 16 Half-time feel. Strip it back with deep sub bass, light keys. More atmospheric. Chorus (Outro) 8 Bring everything back in — add crowd chants, minor vocal sample in background, and fade. 🎹 Instrument Breakdown: Drums: Kick: Deep, slightly punchy — keep it chesty. Snare/Clap: Tight snare with Indian clap layers. Hi-Hats: Trap-style hi-hats — 1/16 patterns, rolls in chorus. Percs: Tabla hits, finger snaps, kanjira rolls for Indian fusion flavor. Bass: 808s: Long, sub-heavy. Glide on chorus. Use sidechain compression with kick. Melody: Primary Lead: Synth pad in D minor — dark, ambient (e.g., Omnisphere-style bell pad). Accent Instrument: Filtered sitar plucks or a tanpura drone for Desi edge. Background FX: Vinyl crackle, reversed vocal chop, faint rain or market ambience (for texture). Chorus Enhancements: Add vocal chops or “OHH!” hype FX Use stereo width — big, airy synths Maybe sneak in a distorted crowd cheer for energy 🧨 Mix Notes: Verses: Clean, dry vocals. Minimal FX. Keep focus on bars. Hook: Wet vocals + stacked doubles/pitch shift. Let it slap. Use automation to build emotion — filter sweeps, reverb tails before drops. Low-end tightness is key — EQ space between kick and 808. 🔥 Vibe References (If you're handing this to a producer): J.
