I wanted to make a tune that combines a mix of unique low-end elements topped with a memorable vocal & drums that knock you in the chest. It all hits hard yet feels smooth & will take listeners on a ride from start to finish. This track has ear candy for all types of EDM connoisseurs & it's an evolutionary branch to my signature sound.
