A little less than 30 days ago, MiNDTRiX dropped some next level sounding music. His latest track "GUCCI" is filled with an eccentric bassline, hip hop roots, and a catchy topline you will be repeating for days to come. His style slowly has transitioned from a melodic bass, euphoric sounding type of track to more of a G-house production. When you listen to "GUCCI," it is filled with some unique elements that we wanted to know more about.
We wanted to get a better idea of how this track was orchestrated, He joins us on our How It Was Made feature to give us more insight into his studio and this track. You will see some pretty familiar plug-ins in this article, but when you put them all together like this… you get a hit. From Serum to Valhalla Vintage Verb, dive into "GUCCI" by MiNDTRiX.
