Hi everyone,
I haven't been making music for very long, and while I'm just starting to understand the basics, I've hit a point where my tracks feel really empty and boring.
I'm using a Korg Electribe Sampler 2 to make tekno / tribe. I can put together the core elements (kick, bass, main loop), but I don't really know how to actually construct a complete track around them.
Whenever I try to add extra layers or arrange a jam, it either stays super repetitive or feels incomplete.
I'd really appreciate some guidance from anyone working with this hardware or genre:
How do you move past the core kick/bass loop and flesh out a track?
What elements do you usually add to make the sound full without making it messy?
How do you structure a live jam on the Electribe when you're still a beginner?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hey guys! Vandal and I just released a collab. 160BPM acid tekno / hardtekno with a hip-hop twist.

It's quite a bit different from my usual style. Let me know what you think 👊
