I made this tune using fairly basic sample manipulation techniques in Logic and one instance of EXS (for the bass line – also using one of the samples as a basis). 

Basically, the samples led me in this process. So thanks for the many inspiring sounds!

This is obviously inspired by the click/house masters from back in the day: Akufen, Jan Jelinek aka Gramm aka Farben, Mille Plateaux, Pole, as well as DJ Food and other clever sample manipulators.

Samples I probably used:
Antwerp - Fighting Birds - London.2
Antwerp - Fountain in Central Saint Martins, Kings Cross
Ben Houghton - Budapest Street Alarm
Ben Houghton - Hamburg Port
Ben Houghton - Mountain Rocks - Morocco
BenAtWork - Rock Hits Glass Shard- Melbourne
Citizen - Melbourne - Back Down.
Escht - OG
G__D - Basketball Shot
G__D - Keyworth Road Water Pipe
G__D - Metal Work In Backyard
Headgaar - Glass On The Ground
Igor Cvitkovi - Iris Bus Citelis Bus Crash sample - Zagreb, Croatia
Igor Cvitkovi - Iris Bus Citelis Bus Open Hi Hat sample - Zagreb, Croatia
Igor Cvitkovi - Tatra T4 tram FX sample - Zagreb, Croatia
Illumes - Knocking Wooden Toy
Illumes - Pint Glass & Coins
James Bowman - Church Door Handle
Joakim Lartey - Chimey
Joakim Lartey - Single Cicada - 17 Year Cicadas - New Paltz NY
 Joakim Lartey - Tree Frogs (Peepers) - Minnewaska, NY
John Morgan - Haunting Bar - Dalston
Tesselator - Pedestrian crossing clicks, Domain Interchange, 2am.3

Enjoy!

Can't believe I used this many, but those are all in the relevant folder, so probably just a few milliseconds of each.

Production notes:
I chucked all of these into Live, pushed the lot down the stairs, and this is what came out :-)

With some SD/perc sounds of my own thrown in.

The pad is one of these sounds played in Kontakt with another sample used for the convolution reverb.

Rather chaotic this tune, but that's the way I like it.
Massively inspired by Mouse on Mars.
