Suno prompt

A restless synth-pop track blending techno with explosive energy and a broken-beat feel at 120 BPM. The low end is analog synth bass playing root-note anchored, under a programmed drum machine with a tight and dry snare and tight closed hats. Warm analog pads carry the harmony, rhythmic stabs. The arrangement follows a slow linear build. A lead synth leads, building through repetition. Subtle bitcrush adds texture, with a slapback delay on the lead. Mixed in a lo-fi and saturated style, foregrounding melodic lead and low-end weight, built on chromatic and shifting chords, leaving a tense and coiled atmosphere.

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