The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is a strong ocean current that flows through the islands of Indonesia. In the local language this is "Arus Lintas Indonesia". In some places, the current funnels as much water as is contained in all Earth's rivers through narrow channels between islands, creating powerful eddies and whirlpools. I came across this on a recent David Attenborough wildlife documentary!

Music wise this track is all over the place - it's probably rooted in the 80s but with some more modern industrial-type sounds in there, and some elements of House and SynthWave. Definitely more EDM/dancey then my usual fare.

Apart from the drum machine all sounds come from Rigid Audio Kontakt plugin presets, acquired during their closing down sale.

Written and produced in two days (!) for /r/songaweek Week 48: theme is The Sea.
