Production music tracks that sound like the Harlem Shake
The internet was recently hit by a craze known as the Harlem Shake – we all know it. A somewhat cheesy rap / hip-hop / electro beat with retro Roland 808 drum machine sound, building up to a massive “drop”, with a suitably crazed dance group.
