Mac! Get to the Choppa!

I might have used a cheeky sample here...but I think it should be safe, as it's so insanely chopped up and I've used it primarily as an instrument rather than for the sample itself, if that makes sense.
Fair enough if mods wanna remove it though!
Struggled all week to make something, so I changed tact and went right back to the start of my current music journey - the Teenage Engineering PO-33 KO that I purchased in December 2019. I forgot how much fun chopping samples is!
Using the recently launched Stemify website + the Kanye Stemplayer, I obtained some stems of a song (I wonder if the WB demographic even knows it?) and sampled a few sections of the drums and vocal stems into the KO and went to town, creating a few patterns which I then sequenced and performed on the fly into my trusty Zoom H1n recorder.
I finally took the file into Ableton and did some "mastering" and YES YOU GUESSED IT I SNUCK SOME NOT SO SECRET SAUCE BITSPEEK IN (although tbh the send level is so low, I might as well not have)

This is a lot of fun, really like the chops of the female vocals at the end and that you saved the down-an-octave for the end. (And hell yeah, more Bitspeek!)
