About This Track:

Took me about 2 weeks to complete this project hope you guys enjoy this old school chillstep track. Next time I'll throw my shots at the new style of chillstep.

Intro
I began this project by composing the piano. I was aiming for movement with this piano instead of the typical sustained chords. I wanted a 3 note introduction so I made sure to choose my 3 notes before actually building the progression. After about 2 hours I was contempt with the piano. Later I added those heavy reverb plucks you hear in the beginning.

Verse / Layers
I then added a sidechain sustained guitar to fill the mids a bit more which is something Blackmill does in some of his tracks. You wont hear it but you'll feel it. After that I added a pitch bending lead with an arp. I then added the girl vocals to keep that old school vibe.

Drop
For the drop I began by choosing my kick and Snare which of course I ended up changing several times as the track progressed. Then I added the percs, cymbals, and high hats. After that I added a half step chord pluck to give it some rhythm which you'll often hear in reggae. Later I recorded myself singing to then chop my vocals into the drop. Last I created a bass with Harmor like always and layered in the sub.

Conclusion
Of course this is a brief overview however I did my best to explain some of the main elements of this track. For anyone curious you can hear me singing at the end which is also a section of what I use in the vocal chops.
