So I've been piling up ideas, demos and even sort of finished songs for a while, maybe like 2/3 years. Normally I keep a few good ideas and finish them in due time. I've been putting away stuff for so long it was time to clean it up. Honestly it kind of hurt because a threw away 100s and 100s of hours at once, but I had to admit most of the stuff was just plain bad or not worth the time to rework.

Anyways I kept 3 ideas out of almost 40 projects and one of them was an immediate oh hell yeah. It's one of my most simple ideas, just a drum beat I made from scratch (very goofy, but I like it, also needs a bit more) and a bassline that I absolutely love. Here is the original idea:

I made a quick demo too. I originally left the idea because no matter what chords/pads and melodies/leads I tried to come up didn't pan out. I think Its from a time I wasn't into sampling that much. I still need a melody or a lead, but the guitar and trumpet sound great. I took inspiration from two songs I am working on atm, both breaks with some trumpet and guitar samples in.

Now be gentle please, I just want some opinions even the demo is quite an early version.

nice, liking the ideas yo've got going on, the kick i'd say is too punchy for this type of track and the perc is a bit too dry for my taste, other then that nice

That's some nice chill thing you've got going on. I agree with @Jetflag tho, but other than that I think it's really nice.
