Now Archive.org (I use for copyright backups) is reliably up again, it's time for a New Year themed Gabber / Ambient fusion: built from firework samples (except for kick and open and closed hi-hats). 

The steel guitar inspired melody and the squeeling noise are screaming banshees (or what the Dutch call "gillende keukenmeiden", or "screaming kitchen maids"): really pushing the out-of-tuneness (on any mobile device it sounds like I've completely lost it haha). Further percussion is composed of rockets exploding in the air and the ambient noise in the background is a ground spinner ("grondbloem"), but very time-stretched. 

The title is the chemical formula for calciumcarbide ("carbid"): which is traditionally used in The Netherlands to shoot the lid off of old milk cans, large modified slurry tanks or near militairy grade makeshift canons; which make for a pretty solid bang. No wonder Hardcore and Gabber are so popular here.

The vocals are from Zeitgeist: Addendum, which is an interesting documentary drawing parallels between many religions (Christianity foremost) and ancient astrology. Which I have to thank my sister's partner for; which together were over for Christmas. Have a banging New Year! :)
