Hi!
I used a short piece of this sample in the beginning and the end of my song ”The joy of Badiba” that is found on several digital music platforms. (Released today April 8)

Here is the song on Spotify.

I think it sounded great and made a perfect feeling to the song that I wished to have that New York, big city vibe to it.

I also credit you at my website www.mrtinglof.se in the post called ”New single”

All the best //Robin Tinglöf

- This particular S/FX clip was not set-up for looping, so an artifact at the loop point is possible. Otherwise there are no edits or non-organic noises. Cheers, Knufds
