Guess the synth inspiration(synth-spiration)?

Steve Horelick & his Buchla system? smile

ooh bassline, arps, and clap are fresh too. excellent, right in the sweet spot between clean and dirty.

Dazzling. And yes, synth-spirational indeed. smile

Oh man those kicks are delightful sounding on headphones. That bass is really tasteful and groove too. And that raindrop synth. Man, so much good stuff here. That growling synth occupying the latter half of the song is a really nice touch too.

That bass line is boss.

Really like the second part of the track when those heavy synths kicks in.

Yeaaaah! The episode he was on Reading Rainbow is the reason I started making electronic music! Although he's using a mighty expensive Fairlight CMI Series 1. Glad you digged the clap, spend yesterday tweaking my 808 kit, had to use saw wave ring modulation to get the clap attacks nice and crisp, Sytrus's envelopes just aren't fast enough and sounded too mushy before.

The kick roll is inspired by Bjork's Hunter, but that was on a 909, still haven't been able to get that kit right, the cymbals are very difficult to synthesize.

eggaxctly!

The tight kicks are really awesome. The bass is groovy - slowly headbopping. It's a drive track through a neon pink colored city, inhabited with rainbow butterflies.
