The second track taken from AVIRA and ENNEA’s club-centric EP is downright crazy with a capital C. From the 8-bit arcade game bleeps and acid burbs to the devastating bassline and synth riffs, ‘this is the meta’ is, for all intents and purposes, endgame rave material.

[item value="10"]AVIRA & ENNEA - this is the meta [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] AVIRA & ENNEA make a compelling return with "This Is The Meta," following the success of their previous hit, "Ring Ring." This track is a masterclass in hybrid production, seamlessly fusing melodic progressive house with the raw energy of techno, all wrapped up in a dynamic 125 BPM framework. From a technical standpoint, "This Is The Meta" showcases meticulous sound design and advanced production techniques. The track kicks off with deep, pulsating basslines crafted using layered sub-bass and mid-bass elements, offering a moody undertone that drives the rhythm forward. The basslines are meticulously side-chained to sharp, psy-trance-infused kicks, adding that thumping, chest-resonating punch synonymous with peak-time techno. The percussion is a blend of crisp hi-hats, shuffling shakers, and complex rhythmic patterns, likely programmed using dynamic step sequencing in DAWs like Ableton Live or Logic Pro. This percussive arrangement maintains a relentless groove while allowing room for atmospheric transitions. Futuristic vocal samples, processed with granular synthesis techniques and time-stretching effects, create an otherworldly aura. These samples are subtly layered with distorted, dystopian synth stabs, achieved through aggressive filter modulation and bit-crushing effects. The inclusion of Hi-NRG riffs adds an extra layer of intensity, creating a sonic bridge between the retro and the modern. As the track progresses, it builds towards a melodic breakdown—a hallmark of progressive house. Here, the arrangement strips back to reveal lush pads and hypnotic synth leads. The synth work features wide stereo imaging and complex modulation, possibly utilizing wavetable synthesis for rich harmonic textures. Reverb and delay effects are finely tuned to create a spacious, euphoric atmosphere that contrasts with the preceding high energy. When the drop hits, the track explodes with dynamic force. The hypnotic leads soar above a robust rhythmic foundation, designed to create maximum impact on the dancefloor. The automation of filter sweeps, resonance peaks, and reverb tails injects movement and vitality into the mix, keeping the listener engaged. "This Is The Meta" is not just a track; it's a sonic journey that bridges past influences with futuristic soundscapes. Its powerful dynamics, mysterious undertones, and captivating arrangements make it a standout piece, perfect for mainstage performances and late-night sets alike. #PureGold Love iT[/content]
