This experimental techno-DnB track is a fast punch to the gut. The kick drum is so loud and distorted it feels like the world stops for a beat, and the bassline is a wild, fast, distorted ride. It's intentionally raw, pushing the sound to its breaking point for a messy feel. Just when you think it's too much, a simple melody peeks through before the chaos returns. This track is meant to be felt, not just heard.
It came from a strong desire to mix DnB, ending up with a somewhat chaotic, fast bass. Other parts were added on top, and it turned out fine.
Listener's take
"This track gives me vibes to go outside and punch someone." - Petar
" It's like I'm one of those robots in an assembly line, all the sounds are different robots speaking harsh truths. We rise up and fight back against evil human overlords. It's like a prequel to "Boarding Drone", which is the party we hold after we win." - Jake
