Blue Dreams

Downtempo does not mean soft in this hip-hop combination. Groove and sharpness stay in the movement, and accents land on specific hits in the track.

Commit to a character from the first count and hold it to the end. Think basketball, if that helps. Hit the snares sharp and clean. Between them, let the body loose and open to its own interpretation.

The second section adds footwork and brings in a basic step. The third gets heavy on the bass. The last returns to the hi-hat before a simple groove finishes it.
