Suno prompt

A brooding drum and bass track with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 171 BPM. The low end is sub bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a clap-layered snare and washy crash-led cymbals. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows loop-based with dynamic drops. A full-voiced female vocal delivers a layered in close harmony performance. Analog hiss adds texture, with a dub-style tape delay on the vocal. Mixed in a open and dynamic style, foregrounding atmospheric space and percussive detail, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a euphoric and open atmosphere.

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