"To start, I loaded some of my drum samples in Battery, created the main drum pattern, and layered them with more percussion from West Africa to create the cross rhythm. Then I added Driver for more distorted drums and used Enhanced EQ to tune the eq. To get the vibe right, I played a few sustained keys from a dark pad I found in Kontakt Library and added RC 48 and EQ. When looking for something extra to add, I found some nice sounds in Kinetic Metal, which I passed through RC 48 hall reverbs – now they sound like a vocal high note. I also created a simple lead melody using Absynth." - NKISI
