This high-speed psytrance track is probably the most energy-packed song made so far by Pohokolius. Growing up with fast games like Serious Sam, there was always a wish to make music with that same energy.
This song is a direct result of those gaming days. It has simple electro piano melodies and driving "Pryda snares." These balance catchy tunes with strong rhythm. The synths are, well, pretty weird! Ideas just flowed from Bitwig's Electropiano 2 preset.
