Dash is a beat all about drive and persistence. It features a layer of lush, gorgeous analog stabs from Mary Poppins. When I made the drums and bass lines, I drew a lot of inspiration from the retro aesthetics of Dragonball Z and Astroboy. I even borrowed some energy from Australian songwriter Peter Combe whose music I loved as a kid. Dash reminded me so much of 'Happy As Larry' that I featured samples of Peter's voice. This track always left me feeling positive and energised after I worked on it, so I think it's a great way to start this album. To me, Dash represents the fast and vibrant culture of the 80s.
This perfectly encapsules how Minecraft feels. Calm, but slightly melancholy when you find you are all alone, except for basic communcation with villagers. Moog City doesn't work. zombiiwastaken
