A New Error by Moderat continues this month’s trend by featuring a wonky sequence that first leads and then underpins the majority of the track.

It’s removal halfway through the track creates a sparse void, which allows the aggressiveness of the base line to shine through. 

A New Error demonstrates the versatility of a looping sequence when used creatively. Once it’s in the listeners head, it can stay the driving force of a track even if its removed completely:
