YES, this is my tune. Raga in TC’s hands turns the original Barely Alive and Astronaut tune into something meaner — the half-time switch hits harder than it has any right to, and that vocal sample sits perfectly on top of the wobble. TC has been doing this for over a decade at this point and you can hear every year of it in the mixdown. Barely Alive built the chassis, Astronaut helped wire it, TC dropped a bigger engine in. On repeat for a week straight back in the day, still goes off now.
