To uncover the production techniques and design choices behind this popular track.

• Uses a long kick with aggressive sound created by layering a button, click, and long tail • Includes resonance and sub bass underneath the main kick layer • Applies high-pass filtering and EQ to shape the tone

• Top layer notes are tuned close together with varying cutoff frequencies for movement • Bottom sub bass layer is monophonic and warmer in character • Stereo treatment applied to both layers for width

Uses compression with high attack ratio to compress the tail while letting the initial transient through, creating a snappier response.

• Hi-hats with room reverb that's distorted for character • Shakers positioned in different versions for authentic movement • Background noise layer created with Vintage Reverb

The main instrument is a pluck with notes that use two elements: an organic piano sound from a music box sample and a classic Sylenth synth with distortion and EQ.

• Layered with a re-bass sound featuring soft unison and reverb • Kick and clap included to add aggressiveness • High-end snares, noise layer, and pitch riser added for dimension

An extended melodic melancholic break with shimmering high-end tones and ambient richness.

The synthesizer sounds come from Pigments top 60 preset pack for med techno.

• Warm, plucky sustain with a light envelope • Lightness and dynamic character from the design • Carries the main melodic content of the drop

• Primary layer uses full unison with noise on top for aggression • Hyper-dimension effect applied with EQ and wave shaper for saturation • Second metallic layer with different oscillator character and ozone stretcher

Wave shaper and Ozone saturation create the heavily distorted sound quality. The layer includes automation on filter frequency during the pre-break section.

Multiple distorted layers interact together throughout the drop, creating movement and texture despite the sound quality being achievable with a single layer.
