Production notes

Four-on-the-floor kick at 128 BPM, a big sidechained bass, and a huge supersaw or lead for the drop. Build tension with risers, snare rolls, and a filter sweep, then hit the drop hard. Mix loud and wide but keep the kick and bass mono. The energy curve (build → drop) is the song.

Typical structure

Intro (mixable) → build-up → drop → breakdown → second build → drop → outro. DJ-friendly with long mix sections and a clear two-drop arc.
