Written entirely on Dirtywave M8 Tracker
Light mastering in Audacity (normalizing/limiting/compressing).

A continuation of last week's track's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which...

Trying to sound like a famous UK group with limited time to implement.
Thanks for listening.

When 1:00 came in it dropped my stomach a bit. I was already jiving, but that type of sampling sound is my favorite thing ever. Are you sure your “famous UK group” isn’t just Daft Punk’s Discovery? Because this is really like Aerodynamic sometimes.

Hope your stomach is okay! Was more feeling a connection with The Prodigy's heaving beats and 90s sampling style.
Aerodynamic might be coming from the arp ending?
A bit of a cacophony in the end, but glad you liked it!
Thanks for listening.

Awesome! I'm always down for some solid big beat. Drums smack super hard, loving the contrast between the up-close synth and the huge choir+beats parts.

Thanks for checking it out and the words of praise.
Haven't mastered the M8 yet, so the chords have a sudden spike in volume, gotta figure this out.
Some warts here and there to smooth out next year for the "releasable" versions.
Have an awesome week, see you!

im so onboard for more prodigy inspired things. love the beat and what I think are some kind of sampled chords - big prodigy vibes. end little arp is mighty too - tasty surprise hidden as a secret track!

Hey, thanks for coming by! The chords coming in first were indeed sampled.
The in-your-face synths, later chords and arp come from M8's synth engines.
Welcome onboard, where every track's outro is the next track intro.
Sometimes it fits, sometimes not, but it always takes a completely different direction each time.
See ya!

This is very badass, though the high pitch sounds are somewhat painful to my ears.

The track was supposed to be obnoxious but not painful, I'll try to be careful of that and filter out some too high pitched sounds (or mix better).
Thanks!
