looking forward to your next release Teetow!!

I made an account on soundcloud JUST to tell you how much I like this song.  When I came across it in the game, I stayed in the club for half an hour just listening to it over and over.  I love it!

Awesome job! this track inspires me so much! I hope you don't have to deal with ea lawyers :) 

Awesome! This track is one of the most memorable things from Syndicate. I always wondered who made it, and now I know! Great work!

How did you manage to land this gig anyway? This was a big revival of a franchise, so picking the right artists for the job must have been a huge priority, given how Skrillex, Nero, and Flux Pavilion are on the game as well.

My jam. The vocal sounds more like GUMI than Miku if you ask me.

The chords are beautiful.  I still remember stopping in the nightclub to appreciate the vibes I was hearing and knowing they were special.  Beautiful work my friend! 😍

my physical copy didn't work back when the game was released, but man I love this track so much I'd work out to it LOL, also I cannot unhear the lyrics now

This song is the last notable track I made before leaving the games industry in 2012. As is common with tracks destined for games projects, it's riddled with half-finished ideas and questionable decisions, but it still has that raw energy that comes with late-night inspiration. You won't find this anywhere else -- the in-game version is an even less polished "temp render" I gave to the animators to have something to sync the dance to, and that's what stuck. Once an asset is in the game, you don't change it unless you have a damn good reason to waste everybody's time.

I can't quite remember how I made the vocal sample -- It's obviously made with Vocaloid, likely Hatsune Miku, but the original project is somewhere deep in the Starbreeze archives. We did a lot of experiments with voice synthesis for the DART chip voice. The lyrics, as has been stated elsewhere, are "Syndicate, classic franchise, Persuader, happy minigun" written phonetically in Engrish. Just a little inside joke.

If you have access to the game (or, you know, YouTube) play the Aspari Extraction level and find the club / disco scene to enjoy the song in its surround-reverbed glory. Also pay attention to the brilliant dance moves, mocapped and animated by Frida. Good times!

Oh, and if any EA lawyer finds this: Nyah. My song.
