Suno prompt

A hypnotic techno track blending ambient with high energy and a broken-beat feel at 115 BPM. The low end is electric bass playing root-note anchored, under a hybrid electronic kit with a brushed snare and sparse dark cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, sustained and washy. The arrangement follows intro-verse-chorus-outro. A lead synth leads, building through repetition. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding harmonic warmth and atmospheric space, built on suspended chords, leaving a warm and enveloping atmosphere.

Paste this into Suno's style field. It describes the sound only — adjust anything that does not match what you are after.
