about

I recently started thinking that Rave and Jungle were ahead of their time and would be the perfect soundtrack to the always on, smartphone notification, social media, information overload era.

So, when I read about dark PR companies selling misinformation services for hire online I decided to try to create an intense, chaotic jungle track which channelled that feeling of information overload and disorientation.

I originally intended the track to be dark and discordant, but once I got the beats rolling the music became more euphoric and turned in a jump up jungle direction. I went with it and liked the idea of ravers throwing their hands up in the air to sing along to the vocoded, synthesized words of hackers selling conspiricies online.

lyrics

Would you like them to believe the world is flat?
Would you like them to believe vaccines don't work?
Would you like them to believe climate change is a lie?
What would you like them to believe?

We can make believe

How would you like us to pull the strings?
How would you like us to change their minds?
How will they know which way is up?
How will they know what to believe?

We can make believe
