One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

This was my first Alonetone collaboration with Louis Smit.
At the time, Louis was Last Salute Folk.

Before listening to this, please remember this, we made this song and "Wiggle" from start to finish in an evening. "Wiggle" is pretty much how we see all the mainstream club music, i'd say it's kind of a spoof.
