Fear the Groove

I haven't posted a finished electronic piece for a while, so here's a newly polished one.

Because They Fear the Groove

This tune started with a bluesy bass-line in E-flat minor. I added layers to it while consciously avoiding giving much concern to the usual rules of harmony. The result was quite cool but a little too simple for my taste, so I added a coda in B-flat phrygian dominant to spice up the overall experience. A neat trick that results is that when the "B" section reoccurs at the end, you hear it in the context of the new tonality. This ambiguity isn't fully resolved until the final chord(B-flat).
