In the wake of more prominent producers slagging off both analogue hardware and people dabbling in electro because there’s been a few features on it, here’s a new track from me. It’s a slight departure from previous techno efforts, written primarily with the TR-8, Elektron Machinedrum and Analog Four.
Thank you all very much, I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to listen but thanks especially for the kind words.
(And while I'm in acceptance speech mode, a special thanks to Voidloss for the mastering and the ongoing advice.)

Sony Vegas Pro and lots of layers, the arrangement window is much the same as any DAW.

I really like the nu-skool breaks vibe.
Good shit man.
The vocal fits really well. How did you find it?

damnnnnnn, this is freaking good. people would freak out to hear this on the dancefloor here in Rio, this kind of electro bring so many good memories from old classic 90's Rio de Janeiro Funk (that was obviously heavily inspired by Electro). Awesome!

Just gonna add to the universal chorus of acclaim, but this a cracking tune, totally love it, i can see this destroying a dance floor. Mix is really good, but i love the arrangement, it really keeps you entertained and maintains your interest. Also good work on the video

Cool project! - Still untitled?
I like the transitions in the video matching to the highlights of the song.
That vocal is pretty memorable.

Thanks, I remember reading about Baile Funk in Mixmag in the 90' / 00's about the clubs and how they'd have these moshpits where the kids would fight, break bones, loose teeth and everything. Just had a search on YouTube now but it seems the music has developed along the lines of ghettotech. Thanks for listening though and to everyone else that's commented.

Yo,
You never told me your source for the vocal!

Prepare for some Wizard Of Oz behind the curtain disappointment, I think it was just a "Yo get down" or "Brothers gotta get down" from a sample pack. Possibly even the free ones from an old Computer Music.
