Better Days – DJ DoubleOh45

Genre: Breakbeat / Acid House / 303 / Vocal House
BPM: 128
Energy: High-energy connector for peak hour sets

About this track:
Blending distorted 303s, layered breakbeats, and gritty live bass, "Better Days" is a high-octane hybrid of acid house and breakbeat styles. A chopped female vocal ("Why can't we just go back to the better days?") gives the track its name and emotional core, while a hyped male vocal amps up the energy. Think somewhere between throwback big beat and modern underground club tool — heavy, rhythmic, and raw.

Version info: A punchy shortened cut with full vocals and an optimized structure for radio and streaming. Ideal for DJs looking to drop something with impact and feeling, without the extended intros.
