Velvet Breaker

Dark techno with male vocals, driving four-on-the-floor kick and ticking hi-hats; verse rides a tight bass pulse and bowed cello stabs, pre-chorus strips to filtered drums and low vocal lifts, chorus hits with distorted cello riffs and a bigger sub swell. Vocal is close-mic, baritone, layered doubles on hooks, with chopped whispers and delay throws. Tension risers, reversed cello swells, metallic ticks. Wide, glossy, heavy-bottom mix., vocal, techno, cello
