A : Atonement from Atonement by Darkai

Atonement was one of those rare tracks where inspiration struck naturally.

After a long day of corporate nonsense, I sat down in the evening to watch a certain series with my wife when the scene sampled in the intro came on.
I wasn’t planning to make music that night, but the mood and tension of that scene really resonated with me.

I knew I had to sample it and exactly what kind of vibe the track needed. I went straight to the studio, and by the early hours, the bare bones of the track were done.

Over the following weeks, I worked on developing it, but ultimately, I stripped it back to how it sounded in that first session: simple, powerful drums paired with a filthy, hypnotic bass groove.

Sometimes, less is more.
