I love the super varied drum patterns you use throughout the tune, specifically when the intensity gradually builds up from 1:15 with those spurts of fast hits followed by space. The little details strewn throughout the track keep things interesting the whole way through. Interesting to hear the ways you can modulate those vocal samples with the M8 (almost sounds like you're physically twisting a knob because of how smooth the wobble sounds).
Badass. You keep it interesting the entire time. Great drums and sample flips!
Great use of vocal samples, all the pitch bending and chopping make them sound awesome! I especially like the super high pitched "believe" and the stretched out vibrato "believe" too.
The little chip break at 0:50 caught me off guard, it's SO nice!
that opening is FIREEEEEEEE
1:14 high pitch is super rad
great great track, love the ending BLIP
Is progressive breakbeat a thing? Cuz I think you just invented it. This is constantly changing and evolving, keeping you interest... but brings back the same elements to keep it all cohesive. Hella fun track. I love the vocal clip bouncing around the stereo field, the crazy drum editing. It's so good.
Absolutely love the hi hat part at 1:50, so groovy! Lots of cool drum work!
Love the dithered cover art. Future retro! The tune is too, with the airy chords against the breakbeat.
Lots of great snare work here and a nice filthy bass tone to fill the mix. Some great chops mid way too. Kickin'.

Thanks, always appreciate your close listening and comments. I've been trying to get better at paying more attention to negative space and dynamics in my music, so I'm glad some of that is coming through here. The vocal samples have an LFO modulating the pitch and then another LFO modulating the rate of that first LFO, which is probably giving it that more organic / physically-twisting-a-knob feeling.

I always try to put a little bit of chiptune in there (as a treat). Used a lot of chance commands and table shenanigans for giving the vocal samples some variety. Thanks!

Hah, I play a lot with intentionally smashing together different genres and draw a lot of inspiration from both breakbeat hardcore and progressive house so this read makes total sense. Thanks!
