Synthetic swag

Not exactly completed, but quite a decent song in terms of work put into it. It was born out of a drum beat built around one of the suckiest beat boxes ever: the Yamaha RX21. I don't mean to diss anyone taste, but I find the Yamaha RX family so boring that I built one kit in Ableton and challenged myself to create some swinging breaks out of it.
A lot of overdrive, virtual amp cabinets and eq after, I think it had some decent groove to it.
The rest is some doodling in Absynth (those bell/pads) that gave the early melodic brackground, then the bassline, then the additional high pitched synths built from a boring bell patch and then resampled.
I wanted to add some cool vocal samples, but the early ones I thought were ideal didn't work, so I ran out of time. Anyway, I'm somehow happy with the result.
Hope you like my little bumpy tune. Lots of love to you, WB people, all around the world
