Got me snazzily steppin’ while feeling ready for a fight! heart
(Really love that bassy synth, gives almost a NIN vibe

…damn i hit submit too soon… but here’s this gif i felt to it too lol )

That synth bass is tasty.  Really provides the forward momentum.  Good marching music, but in an alternate world I could see it being a dance floor sensation as well.

This is awesome. Really love the bass line / rawking ... and then that gentle, surreal, ending...

+1 to NIN vibes, was one of my favorite bands in high school, I thought of NIN when listening to another of your recents also, but not sure if I wrote it down or not smile

what, yep this is so tasty. Here for the snacks

for this track I want an autoloop button or a maxiversion. It is groovy and hypnotic like hell. It was fun to look for dancegifs, because it fits very well to all kind of dancing styles.

Agreed with what the other said, dope bass line. Very cool beat, plus your dreamy vocals over it.

It works great.

hell yeah with that bass groove, I love all the layers, its understated but hard hitting and dangerous.

Progressing ever forward, slow, yet steady. Great vibe.

Oooh that groove is def hypnotic and creates instant forward motion (head noddings).  Gave me some Bjork meets Trent vibes ala Army of Me.  Haunting vocal harmonies.  Nice work! smile (scarlett 2i2 w00t!)

solid. nicely driven by the high-piched belly loop & made human and interesting by the voc.s

Rad bass synth hook and swing timing. Perfect for the robot uprising!

thanks folks for listening & commenting! - that bass loop is fun - i liked the synth bass part but wanted it to sound more like my brother's early bands (bass, synth, drums, singer/screamer) bass sound - i think he often made things crunchy with a big muff pedal (gross name) but i think Tone Matrix called it - it sounds more like "Army of Me" - i'll take it - i love the bass tone in that song too - anyway - that's doubled track and one track is going through a bass amp filter - it made it one louder smile

i'm not so familiar with NIN - they were more on the periphery of my young life - danced to them at clubs etc. - i'd be curious to know if there is a specific song or sound this was reminding people of?

oh ya, "Army of Me" is definitely the best call.
personally, i was thinking just of the bass, and for me it's like a cross between "Head Like A Hole" and "Sanctified"... but not the entire song, nor an exact match to the sound nor tempo, just the phat impact of the bass, along with its ominously lurking vibe smile

Ba boom clack, let's go! Digging those drums and bass, all of it! Wooooo, yep
