Before we start, the title means nothing. It started out as a sort of hip-hop thing but then it changed and became this. As it has no words the title never changed and I know it so well as Feelin' Hip that it seems cruel to change it now.
Anyway, this track was one of the first tracks I wrote using Logic 8. There are no live instruments. Everything is programmed. It has sat in my iTunes Library doing nothing since 2008 until I had the genius idea of making it a few beats per minute faster last week. All of a sudden it sounds good enough to me to want to share it with the world.
Key lesson learned? NEVER, give up on a track. You just haven't found the answer yet. It'll come, if you give it enough time.

It is from a game called Watch Dogs, but it fits the scene of what I had in my head when I wrote this music very closely. I just changed the colour settings to make it blue, because we all know things that are blue are infinitely cooler, especially with regard to lights and filters.
