Pretty tired today with a headache after a gig last night, so after fidgeting with a song that was going to be too much effort i resurected a project from earlier this year.

There was some synth samples from the timestill in here, but mostly it was all done on Ableton in the box. First time this year I've really done that, feels a little weird it's been that long.

Love all the feedback from you legends, you're such a fantastic lot.

Bars come from a transformers ad from the early 90s.

Ahahha...this is fucking perfect. I am old enough to appreciate the lyrics. Nice that you tricked me with hip hop that TRANSFORMED into jump up.

The opening vocal sample is very much not for me. Up to the point that I nearly closed the tune. But I skipped ahead and there was the dub step-eque bass wobble. All that stuff is pretty good. Your breaks groove nicely and your bass hits. Well done.

I love to see all the pieces and influences coming together on a song. There's certain things that stuck with me from my childhood, and they occasionally peek their ways into the songs. Either by lyrics, samples, or faint melodies.

It certainly would play well on the TV show, or on Beast Wars (bonus points if you watched Beast Wars)

Yess shit I love those wubs and sweeps and hoovers and reese. Breaks and vocals completely on point. One thing I would try - filter the opening vocal a whole ton, highpass, maybe just the mids sweeping up, something to give more contrast for when the first bass drop hits.  It'll make that opening explode.

I love how raw it sounds and the energy is great

Yeah i totally agree with what you're saying. After completion upon listening back it sounded disjointed between those two section, with a bit of attention i'm sure it could be easily rectified.

(The reese is played live on the MiniKorg-700, love that a 70s synth can make those noises).

Awesome, thanks a heap

I really enjoyed the big hiphop sound at the start.  The wubs are pretty tight though after rhymes.  \m/
