This is a rescue version of a 2013 project made on Ableton Live 8, using the free version of EZ Drummer, which is 32 bit. It started as my silly idea of a dubstep jam (remember when the wooble was cool?).

I spent Sunday on my commit to work, and when I arrived I sadly discovered I forgot to dump the stems from the 32 bit plugin from my old machine, so although I created some cool extra elements and synths, the vital part (fake acoustic drums programmed with a fake Tommy Lee "bad boy" attitude) were absent, so in a stroke of panic, I decided to remaster my early 2013 audio demo.

Mastering is kinda brutal and too "in your face". I should be sleeping right now, not mastering, so please cut me some slack. smile

I really wish to be back in the WB game, not just uploading, but interacting. This summer's been hard when it comes to heat and when it comes to work. Anyone out there struggling to cope with everything?

Hope you're doing great, wherever you are, WB family smile

that wub-wub wobble is still cool if ya bring it all boom-bappy like this big_smile

sassy. filthy. tasty.
show no shame.

(yeah, the heat sucks. I am struggling a bit as well and counting the days until the autumnal equinox)

Oh wow that's a very cool one. The choice of sounds is really awesome. it has this deceptive lofi sound at the start but then with the big drums mid way it really makes the track feel so much bigger. I love the end beat!

OH MY GOD THESE DRUMS ARE SO SICK

lol I actually need the drums LOUDER lol

love how the song's intro melody is separate from the main song, and i love the "power just cut out on the synth" ending

also, i am 100% struggling to make it through this year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
