Thanks for telling us where the warp synth originated. It's used in a song from big freedia's new EP and I wondered why the song used the same synth as bad romance. I had no idea how popular it was even before gaga came around. Also I've heard similar synths in witch house music but again, thought it was a newer type of synth, not something with such a big history

yeah it's a synth that comes with the vst Sylenth1 which Redone sometimes uses

I never really heard the sci-fi lasers in BR, but ooooh....since I'm such a nerd they instantly made me think of the Snowman Mix of the seminal acid house track "Stakker Humanoid".

From 1988, babies! Your daddy's music. :gaycat:

Songs with their own wikipedia page adds a certain gravitas I think?

probably the warp synths since the seem the most insane and crazy and thus Gaga to me. The woodblock is a close second

it's also used in Rihanna's birthday cake! and you can argue charli xcx used a mild version of it for her song secret (shh) (0:47)

Just a little nerdy trainspotting here. That "warp" was popularized in the 1991 rave techno tune "Mentasm" by Joey Beltram and was copied relentlessly. 

But the one sounding most like the one in BR is Human Resource "Dominator".

Starting 0:00

So yeah, voted that for electronic dance history relevance.

 

I am a big nerd for this kinda stuff, the history of popular samples and things, so thanks for sharing!

Had to turn to Wikipedia. We're both right!

"Hoover sound refers to a particular synthesizer sound in electronic music, commonly used in gabber and hard house. Originally called the "Mentasm" or "Dominator", the name that stuck was the one likening the sound to that of a vacuum cleaner (often referred to via the genericized trademark "hoover" in the UK and Ireland)."

 

I think I've heard it called a Dominator synth before. I called it a warp synth because long ago I was listening to this great dance track called Warp #9 or something like that, and it used that synth sound. It came on my pandora and I have never been able to find the song since :giveup:

I came to say the male vocal saying "hey" but i see you wrote beside vocals :triggered:

The iconic "Hey!" Yeah there are a lot of good vocal sounds, so many that I could make my own poll out of just those.

I like the jingles at the beginning and end of the video the most and also the clapping at the end of the video, but if i had to choose something from this list it’d be the woodblock.

I’ve always noticed the woodblock but it has always sounded like clams to me. Like when clams are closed and they make that noise. In that one episode of Spongebob where they literally make a song that involves a dolphin and coral or something?
