Anyone knows what samples do they use for the main backing sequence? or how they recreate that? It is better noticed at 2:34, those strange voices.

I have been always interested in recreating samples or sounds like that or knowing what technique do they use.

 

This post is for sharing ideas and stuff about sounds and samples from this particular song:D

Don't know if this helps

It's something the Stargate guys came up with, according to Chris. In one of the many interviews he did he described it as "woowoowaawaa" because he doesn't know which part of the vocals those guys altered to create that sample.

Really? I hear "if I die young," which fits into the "Adventure of a Lifetime" theme.
