When back in 1995 I was in middle-high school in a part of Europe that 150+ bpm hardtrance was our breakfast, I remember myself dancing alone in my room to yet another release from SPV. Rave Mission 5 was far my favourite and I can actually write down in paper with ears and eyes closed the exact sequence of every tune in there. When I first listened to T-ara’s “Like the first time” I was impressed by the background pad/lead and the progressive retro bass sequence (probably that goes even back to ’80s). I knew the tempo was pretty fast so I had two options: either to make it slower and go for a trance/dance track or I could keep the tempo unaltered and go for a hardtrance one. Kara’s “Wanna” was a very similar case but the amount of effort I was putting back then was tiny compared to now. So I’ve loaded my default template project, threw the girls in and added some beat. I was trying to find some interesting bass but anything with an appergio in wouldn’t sound that good. Then I’ve said “hey hold on, this is retro anyway”, so I didn’t need to over-engineer it. As soon as I threw in an aggresive bass with an upbeat groove (that’s the simplest bassline you can get – just play a note between each beat) I was officially back in ’90s. Then I’ve added some gated leads and voice pads (it was a must back then – just listen to “Alien Factory – Anytime Anyplace” at around 1:50 and you’ll know immediately what I mean) and that sounded massive. It was not just a very dancable …
