Here are BYRD's top 5 inspirational tracks

 

Space Date (Pleasurekraft Remix) - Green Velvet, Layton Giordani, Adam Beyer

Three of my favorite artists on one track, with a massive remix! I am all about the hypnotic vocals and the overall message of the song, as well as the emotional experience it provides. The rolling arp keeps you entranced throughout the track, and the immense build-up and powerful drop back into the vocal sample are just pure ecstasy.

 

 

Forever Ravers - ANNA & Miss Kittin

I love ANNA and Miss Kittin is a legend. I love the rolling bass line and the incredible energy it brings in this track. The vocals are original and deliver a powerful message. The big breakdown and buildup are fantastic. I also appreciate the solid snare build-up that adds even more energy.

 

 

Dancing 2020 - i_o

i)_o was a legend. I was lucky to catch his EDC LV set. I absolutely love the powerful kick and groovy bassline in this track. Vocals are a key element for me, as I want to create tracks that make people want to dance and shuffle. The vocals in this track really makes you want to move. Additionally, I am a big fan of acid techno, and I love how the second build-up introduces acid vibes and keeps them rolling through the drop.

 

 

Ancient Dream - Zimmz

This track is all about the vibes and euphoria that techno and music can provide. I want my music to feel good and bring positive vibes and feelings to the dance floor. In the second drop of this track, it feels good to close my eyes and let the music take over.

 

 

Flash - Sam Paganini & Zoe

Crssd Festival is where I fell in love with Sam Paganini's music. His tracks were incredibly powerful with strong kicks, basslines, and leads. I want my own music to have the same impact. This particular track is so groovy, and I love the simple vocals it gets stuck in my head everytime.
