    Everyone is forgetting that fred again likely was fingertapping that kick beat. He likely captured fred again's fingerdrumming performance for that sequence. Among other sections of the song. But seeing everyone (hundreds of clips)try to recreate this with zero acknowledgement that fred again is present on this track in terms of sound selection design and application is astounding. This is now a grammy winning track.

There is no other artist that started in 2012 and has so many tracks and even more in the style they found themselves (Mandragora is the founder of futureprog). 757.000 subscribers in 10 years. He is so able to combine psychedelic trance with trap, jazz, dubstep, hip hop, rap and classic music as well. His sound is so magnificent, so distinctive and characteristic.

Ok cool why not i signed up for Wed at 8am went back to my email and thought it might be me i eill request it again. Your prompting suggests that you know that there is not a project file and asks me to sign up for your webinar. Marketing sure, clever, yes, was your video informative? yes it was a more like a ride along to your workflow and you are good but you waisted my time. most of us are not some kid that has all the time in the world and all the gear that we are sponsored by sitting around.

    Any 90-s pop track is much more technologic and aesthetical in any aspect like a piece of art.
