I got distracted by the description and had to go listen to System Check before this, haha. Absolutely love Roni Size. I can definitely see that vibe here too. It's dnb through and through, but you've got these much more "real" instruments, and not just weebles and also wobbles.

The shuffle is fantastic. With dnb you end up with lots of things that almost seem to be at competing speeds--lots of things at half speed for sure--and you have these elements that really drive home the fact that no, we're goin. We're goin fast. And that shuffle is textbook for that. Just makes my brain smile every time.

Love the weirded up vocal samples too. It's probably just an era thing, but I'm always trying to stuff that into my tunes. We're going to say 5 words total, they may not even be complete words, and they're going to be rhythmic and weird.

Great track. Love how long you let us ride with elements. There's enough movement and life that there's no reason to shuffle things around every phrase... so when a few down the road a new element comes in, it's always a pleasant surprise.

This comment is getting long but whatever, kind of obsessing over this one. The other magic trick you have here that I think is super hard is how _balanced_ everything else. You're not quite down to Photek "I have no idea how two elements are enough for a brilliant song" levels, but it's _lean_. Everything is serving its purpose, getting out of everything else's way, and then getting out of the tune.

Gah, loved it
