Nice!

Never really considered Trance to have breakbeat sections it. This course definitely grabbed my attention through the title lol. Started applying it to a project that I am working on today and after getting my head passed the awkward kick and clap placements haha the concept made sense. Really great tutorial this, easy to follow slow pace and full of little gems of information. Lots of potential in this practice for future projects. Much like the atmospheric intro tutorial this is another decent direction to take music in to stand out and set myself apart. Cheers Allan
