Breaking Trance

Hi gang!
This week was super tricky, as expected.. Felt some pressure going in week 2 since I was so happy with my week one track and I wanted to deliver something equally 'good'.
Started week 2 on Tuesday. First few hours felt good, got a nice loop going and had some ideas how to move further later.
Was busy the rest of the week, so i picked it up yesterday. The pressure was on, since the deadline was around the corner and I still only had a loop. So the fight began.
Took the Track in a really weird direction, which in my head seemed like a cool idea, but in reality didn't work out as I wished.
I was prepared for an all-nighter, ready to get the song back on track, when I got a message of a friend asking, if I was down to go out clubbing with him.
First I was like: no, I need to finish the track.
But since we just reconnected some weeks ago after like 4 years of not seeing each other (living in the same city ^^), I was like: Fuck it! I will speedtrash something later.
Breaking Trance is the outcome of last nights situation:
The energy on the floor was peaking when I decided to leave. Knowing, I wouldn't finish my week 2 track if I stayed longer.
When I left the club it was freezing cold outside (like -10°C), but the sky was clear and the sun already shining.
On my way to the train station, I remembered a loop I worked on last year, which really matched the vibe I had in this exact moment.
After like 3 hours of rest I started working on it. In the beginning I wasn't sure if I can get the track in a presentable state. But I have to say, I am really happy how it turned out!
I would like to visit this track sometime later. There is still much to expand on and to refine. But for now, it is what it is. Let me know, what you think. I appreciate any feedback!
Thanks for listening to my TED talk!
Looking forward to what you all have been cooking up the last week!
