I found this one quite advanced inside the 2023 projects folder, however the beat felt quite stale on the early arrangement so I tried hard to add some variation in order to make it less monotone.

The sparse melody is really one line of Native Instruments Rounds and two of its bounces, slightly out of sync (like a sixteenth note or so). Nothing really that clever, but like in techno, I take some of those tracks in and out every 4 or 8 bars trying to add some interest.

The beat comes from the killer 808 start of the super dope killer ballad "Lady in red" by Chris de Burgh... and I DO f***ing love that song

So yeah, not every powerful drum machine is on an 80's electro record. I chopped it manually on my Akai s3000xl... and some day I must finish the whole song that was programmed with it.

Hope you enjoy this one. It's nothing too fancy, but I'm glad I finished something with at least an hour of margin.

Lots of love to you, WB people around the world !!!
