After just about a week, I can finally consider this project finished! I initially was quite worried about whether or not I would be able to respect the August 18th deadline for the Knockouts, especially because I spent the first 3-4 days just brainstorming every possible idea that could come out of my head. Finally, on August 7th, I came up with the intro for this track by playing around with pads and plucks, and the rest is history.

I tried to go for something a little unusual: I came up with this melange between psy-trance and house with a tinge of color bass going on towards the end, and it all ended up being very well made in the end in my opinion. I am also a huge fan of the overall atmosphere that I managed to create all over the arrangement for this track.

That's about it for my comments. Enjoy, and wish me luck!
