Captain Pikant Summons the Ghostbusters Beat: 80s Spookiness, Aussie-Style

If you’ve ever wanted to resurrect the iconic Ghostbusters groove but with a dash of modern magic (and a couple of digital cobwebs), Captain Pikant’s your bloke. In this video, Pikant—known for his snappy, info-packed demos—dives headfirst into the haunted swamp of 80s drum machines, layering, and cheeky sequencing tricks. Grab your Spectre Detector, because this one’s dripping with synth nostalgia, spooky percussion, and enough cowbell to keep the neighbours up all night. Don’t be surprised if you end up bopping around the backyard like a possum after too much Red Bull.
