DJ and producer Eats Everything has shared his latest 'brake-beat' track - made from the sounds of electric motorsport.
The track, titled ‘Feeel’, uses sounds from a top team’s garage, from the pitlane, audio from team radio and a Nissan Gen 3 Formula E race car.
The sounds were collected at the Monaco E-Prix in May and mixed at Eats Everything’s studio, with the track also including sounds from Nissan’s electric passenger cars.
It comes after research from the car brand found 76 per cent of Brits feel the vehicle sound in motorsport is important to the overall experience of a race or event.
While one in five also claim hearing is the sense that stimulates them the most, with 49 per cent of motorsports fans believing background music enhances the atmosphere of a race.
In a behind-the-scenes video [https://www.nissan.co.uk/experience-nissan/partnerships/partnerships-FormulaE], Eats Everything explains how the partnership came about, and the inspiration behind ‘Feeel'.
He said: “I believe the sound of Formula E is quite musical.
“It’s a very off-key chord which when played in a melody doesn’t work but as a sound feels like it’s constantly going up like a shepard tone or the doppler effect - it’s an audio illusion basically.
“What’s really interesting for me is that this is a bit different compared to what I normally do.
“I make breakbeat a lot but don’t release much of it. For me it’s a passion project and hopefully it will lead me to put out more of this genre because people will think ‘oh it’s alright you can do this’.
“Here’s something you might not know, ichi-ni-san, which you can hear when the tune hits its most dramatic moment, is 1-2-3 in Japanese. Nissan always competes with number 23 (ni-san) in motorsports and Ichi is the name of my cat, so it was a match made in heaven.”
The research of 2,000 adults - half of which were motorsports fans - also found when it comes to the sound of racing, 36 per cent said it gives them the ‘feel’ of the event.
However, the thing fans love most about racing is a heated rivalry between fans and drivers (25 per cent), and watching their favourite drivers compete (20 per cent).
