Nu Disco Project - DEMO MIX.mp3
A single stereo mix of the track at the development stage, utilising an array of plug-ins from the SOSFA platform, with the full mix and master still to be done.
The track features three main instances of the main riff that utilises three different string articulations. Chord and bassline parts have been doubled for thickness and temporary loops added to create the drum groove.
