‘Miracles' is an undeniably tropical number with an infectious hook and soulful top line. With its building energy and deft chord progression, ‘Miracles' proves an instant hit with universal appeal. The main melody is a sample from the ultra-popular Youtube video ‘Duck Army', which the Danish DJ recorded and manipulated. Martin then built the framework of the track around the manipulated sample, producing a remarkable end result and demonstrating his extraordinary musical ability.
