TRY: 6, 1, 3

*1. Skipping beat with deep growling bassbeat and great atmospheric samples
2. A high-BPM house beat with repeated vocal snippets. Really cool “mysterious” and spacy-sounding interludes
*3. Galloping beat with deep distorted vocal sample “when I hear you, when I see you.” Great sustained momentum throughout the track
4. Swelling tech house with fluttery synth and a touch of bongos
5. Old school dancefloor track with repeated “uh” sound effect, rhythm sticks, and blossoms of synth. A bit of Roland squelch adds a touch of acid influence
*6. Percussively dense dance music with a repeated vocal sample “octagon” that gets distorted to oblivion. Stabs of synth lend this song a great rush of energy. Euphoric and clubby
