La Giang and Kurkuri

Reverby lead, trancy break, focus on kick, snare, hat (groove elements almost disappearing). And of course endless smile for breaks.
If it's not supposed to be euro ish than completely switch the mix around and focus on groove instead.

So yeah, I went absolutely cliche on main drop - add some fck noise, offbeat riser and long sustain notes in additional lead layer. Thanks Guido for inspiration, I'm totally happy with the track now \m/ Btw original Kukeri is by my band Kamp, but we play it only live, never made a studio version. https://youtu.be/7pLkeCPxsYA?t=1948
Vengaboys? Never heard of them haha Super useful tips for groove - ghost notes and mids focus. Need to make a button for this. Upbeat hats up, sub down (wow, 2dB... it's a lot) but... removing out pumping effect from break made huge difference - it gives that kind of emotions when you play for a crowd in a big room. I've tested it on a festival a couple of weeks ago, not mixed yet. People were enjoying it but I feel it's much better now. For a lead-pad thing I throw certain notes into reverb (learned it from you and The other side of the Sun mix) and now add even more reverb for a last note - cool!
