Big beats with OTT and Saturator

Piñata’s beats are simple compared to some elements of the track, but getting them sounding right was extremely important to Robbie. “All this stuff is really, really simple sounds. Some of it’s from the KSHMR pack, a lot of it’s from old Vengeance house packs, and things like that,” he reveals. “It’s just about combining the right sounds, that’s what I struggle most with. Then we have this Major Lazer Lean On

style percussive loop, and that’s it for the drums. I’ve layered two kicks which I usually don’t do, but since this was an EDM idea, I really really needed that crispy top end. The main kick is already punchy as it is, but I added this knocking kick on top just to give it some more punch. The main kick is going through a bit of OTT, a bit of Saturator – nothing crazy – and the top kick is just a basic kick I’ve sliced all the low-end out of.”
