Wow! So much of the EDM stuff from a decade ago sounds cringe and outdated, but somehow, early Deadmau5 still sounds so fresh and exciting. I guess no matter how much time goes by, good music never truly goes out of style.

[@DoubleBGreen]

Summer of 2018 anyone? :) Damn...this came out 9 years ago. Never gets old. I need a 10 minute non-stop John Wick action scene with this song in the background. I could pick a handful of deamau5 songs that would work.

[@keeler1160]

The 16th hour by definition (what I think). By the 16th hour the truth will come, an expression that one may say hes the greatest and brightest. Till then the truth will come. We will stand and wait by the 16th hour. EX: Person talks positively about how he is good in school and will become a successful person. Person also talks negatively about other person who may not be knowledgeable at school but might possibly be a smart person just not noticeable. Person can say whatever he wants but the truth will come out one day, whether it would be 5 or 10 years later. We will stand to await by the 16th hour to arrive to see the truth.

[@TemperedMedia]

Considered making a "4x4=16 HL3 confirmed" gag comment, but for future reference... in ancient times, the "16th hour" is 10pm. If that doesn't make sense to you (24 hours in a day) it's because the old way of measuring the day/night cycle places midnight eight hours later. That is, the new day began with dawn rather than with a certain position of the earth.

[@aquinoguh]

on Brazil 16th hour is actually 4pm (16:00)

[@TemperedMedia]

True. Military time marks it as such. I wasn't elucidating the song title as much as imparting a nugget of history. :)

I really want to know what synth he used to make the intro/throughout the song and how he did it.

[@fountane]

***** No it's not lol. Much more textured. I've been producing for a while, and I don't think it's that simple. It's something close to that though. Those are the basics.

[@randomname3669]

Devin Taylor it is, youre probably not hearing the very small snare stacked with its beginning

[@fountane]

Hakan Noel Listen to the lowest note in the beginning. That doesn't happen with just a simple sawtooth osc. And the "tiny snare" is probably a white noise osc.

[@randomname3669]

Oops, listened to it with something better now, you are right, i hear some modulation going on

[@manuyokoyama7636]

Finally I found this song! ;)

[@goingonlylogical]

I've never liked the terms "progressive" or "alternative". Progressing from what? Alternative to what? This, however, is a sub-genre of electronic synth known commonly as "house", and is what is used as background music in clubs.

[@FockfordRosgate]

I assumed it was called "progressive" because of the fact that a lot of it tends to have a build up to a climatic point in the music or at least, a build up from a relaxed or mellow state to a more powerful state within the same space as the melody. Like... it "progresses" from different stages in sounds and melodic enforcement.

[@hajhaver]

Abraham That's how I understood it as well. Good explanation!

[@markdoughman7720]

its because the chords the song is based on progress as opposed to just staying the same the entire song

[@colinrogers2578]

Abraham OnlyLogic It's progressive because it's different from the traditional style Chicago House that was popular when progressive house first came out. It has nothing to do with song structure.

[@fones13]
