BITVORTEX - Starships (Nicki Minaj banger reimagined as a chiptune floor-filler)

Details

Description

This track was made when I was preparing a live set. I thought “Why not throw in a few covers people might recognize?”... It's neither a complete remake nor a straight up cover, but something in between; a "recoverke"? (insert thinking emoji here)
A reimagination, if you will. It's made for the dancefloor and to be played in a live club environment, using Nicki Minaj - Starships as a base for the whole thing.

The track was created using a DMG-01 Game Boy running 1x LSDJ 9.4.0, and recorded into Ableton!

I hope you like it!

----------------------------------------

Due to the limitations of the Game Boy, you are hearing a maximum of 4 sounds/tones/notes at the same time, of which 1 is only modulated noise. No samples (or LSDJ "kits") were used to create this track. Also, when it comes to track panning it's 100% left/center/right.

I recommend listening in headphones or stereo speakers for best experience!
