Here's the master of a tribal melodic track I decided to make. The female vocal was from a sample pack "Exotic Refreshment - Sofiya Nzau Voices From Miruri vol. 1" and the clip was called "Daci".

Miruri translates to Romania. Also looked up Daci on Wiki here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacians and it turns out that Dacia was a region inhabited by the Dacians in the north of the Danube (modern Romania). The kingdom of Dacia was the creation of Burebistas (c. 80-44 BCE). Many scholars have proposed an etymological link between the endonym of the Dacians and wolves. The Draco, a standard flown by the Dacians, also prominently featured a wolf head as you can see in the image. Liked the history behind the tribe, so decided to call the track "Dacians".

Really enjoyed making this track. Felt like all the stuff I've learnt over the year from my London AMP course, reading "The Secrets of Dance Music Production" by Attack Magazine and watching endless videos on Aulart and YouTube came together and I'm pretty happy with the result. Was also super fun using the Ableton Push; how sick is pitch bending synths with the slider and playing MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) sounds. Reckon this will be one of those tunes I come back to in the future to ramp up with new stuff I've learnt.

Anyways, enough of the monologue, hope you enjoy the track and if you have any feedback, do let me know.

Kind Regards,
Joe
