We’ve heard past examples of hard drives and disk drives being programmed to play music, but this version of club hit “What is Love?” has an undeniable funkiness to it that’s worth noting.

Check out MrSolidSnake745 on Youtube for many more tracks he’s produced with this method.

  5. Does anyone else like this version better than the original? I love how it sounds. So gritty and beautiful!
