Congrats to the top 3 and also thanks @malus_mons for all the logistics 
Mine was track 1 (the one after the intro!) and here are some brief notes:
- The main chops came from The Prophet (thanks @flipinfantile)
- The section A drums I took from the intro to Soul Makossa (thanks @jiffybox).
- Section B drums were from another break I have that I sliced up and jumbled - I switched between the two in the final section.
- For my “vocals”: I chopped some bits out of “Just Another Day” by Queen Latifah to make the arpeggiated melody and some transitionary stabs; I also sampled part of this youtube interview wih De La Soul talking about Native Toungues
- My nature sounds came from @malus_mons cicadas - they’re mostly only audible in the intro, as I basically used them in place of white noise in the background
In terms of production I was quite constrained on time and wanted to focus a lot more on the mix this time round. So, I chopped everything on the Push 3, pulled into Ableton and arranged from there. Most of the time was spent tweaking transitions/ flow and the mix to get things sitting right - especially trying to get the two breaks to match well enough.
Congrats again to everyone and looking forward to the next one.
