While Daniel slept, a girl introduced him to ‘super crunched-out sounds’ at a wild tempo. After he shared the details on X, producers are making his fantasies into reality
The other night Drew Daniel went out raving and the club was pumping out loud and distorted music. His friend Max was ignoring him, toying with a piece of hardware, as a girl approached Daniel. She began to talk about a new genre of music called “hit em” containing “super crunched-out sounds” in a 5/4 time signature and 212 bpm. Later that night Daniel found himself covered in slime and looking down at his own grave.
When he awoke from this strange dream at 6am in the rural mountains of California, it wasn’t envisioning his headstone that stayed with him but the specifics of this singular music. He had never posted publicly about a dream before but decided to share on X this tale of a rave girl and hit em. “I didn’t think much about it and went back to sleep for an hour,” he says. But as he slept the numbers on the post kept creeping up. “Then it got really crazy when people actually started making the music.”
