Bye bye tristeza

Ok, this week I went in a different way: after I completed the whole 3 seasons of "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Netflix, I felt like doing something more uptempo and positive than my usual stuff, thought my "upbeat" skills are quite limited.
I've been improving my own server and self-hosted cloud, so while digging in some forgotten folders in order to regain some more space, I found a really cool arpeggiated synth loop WHICH BELONGS TO A VSTi SYNTH DEMO. I say again, the main synth phrase, as catchy as I think it is, wasn't written by me. It was featured as an example of the VSTi capabilities.
I labeled my sample as "Tactile Sound - Transparent" and I downloaded it circa 2009-2010. Googling it did not showed me any significant results. Did those guys went out of business? If you have any info, please let me know.
Well, apart from the origin of that sticky synth loop, I thought it was pretty uplifting and it was sad to let it go to waste, specially when those tracks often go forgotten and not considered pieces of music "worth keeping". So I added a few layers of really simple drums and a bass line. I was starting to add too much elements when my family told me I was messing too much with the idea, so I decided to leave it that way.
So, here you have, a "borrowed" synth hook, a bass and some schematic beats. And a title that means "bye bye sadness" (Didn't went for my original spanish "adios tristeza" because I forgot a very famous spanish band has a whole album under that title).
I'm not specially confortable taking some sample which I could not properly give props and credit, so maybe if you know about that "Tactile Sound's Transparent", please let me now.
And if by chance you follow Kimmy Schmidt, this is the positive attitude:
