This high-energy track explodes chaotically. It shifts tempo, starting at 110 BPM, peaking at 128, then dropping back to 110.
This was the first time trying a shifting-tempo mix. The production is intentionally rough, mixed by feeling, making it loud, unpredictable, and raw. Compressors struggle, creating weird sounds. It has a very melodic middle section with odd bass synths. The goal was to see what would happen if it was deliberately messed up.
