I clearly remember hearing Martin Garrix drop ACRAZE's new track live at Untold Festival not long after it was released.
They contain the necessary ACRAZE kick drums, risers, cymbals, percussion, and everything else you need to nail his sound.
It was my first time hearing 'Do it To it' (yes before it was overplayed into oblivion).
And in a set chock full of Martin Garrix's progressive house tracks, hearing this ACRAZE song was a breath of fresh air.
But not only that - it made the crowd go WILD.
It was different, and from that moment I knew this song would become a smash hit.
But I never thought (frankly nobody did) that this track would become the modern phenomenon it has become.
And that's why ACRAZE is so critically acclaimed.
It can be enjoyed as everyday casual listening while at the same time being the ultimate turn-up track in a DJ's set.
Very few producers can nail this pleasing of two demographics.
The only other artists that seem to do this well are Tiesto and David Guetta, yet in my opinion neither has quite matched ACRAZE's stunt with Do It To It, ever.
For extra help and a bonus-free MIDI + sample pack, check out this video below.
It's a good tutorial that can help give you some inspiration by using the samples above:
ACRAZE Do it to it templates and sample packs:
The free stuff is great to start out with. Pair it with some of John Summit's production advice (seen later in the article), and you should be good to go!
If you have a budget you're willing to play around with though, a high-quality paid sample pack can make all the difference.
Paid packs are more likely to be done by professionals. Anyone can make a free sample pack - getting someone to buy your sample pack is a lot harder.
I've also added an ACRAZE Do It To It template for Ableton as well as the Do It To It sample below so you can replicate the track to your heart's content.

Music Production Tips From A Tech House Legend
Having the samples and sounds is one thing, but actually sounding like ACRAZE is another.
Knowing how to mix and master your track to sound as wide, full, and hard-hitting as ACRAZE is the hard part, really.
And then, you'll need to find that catchy vocal sample that'll take the world by storm.
John Summit is a big tech house producer who has a similar sound - and he's got some great tips on how to make a proper banging tech house tune.
Check out this thread on Reddit that has a reply from John Summit himself:
There are some key takeaways on how John Summit makes his bass and drums punch through in the mix:
For bass, he uses Fabfilter Saturn for saturation.
He has some preliminary audio levels he sticks to for certain elements: Kick sits at -5/-6 db, the bass at -9/-10 db, and when together they sit at -4/-5 DB.
He uses Nicky Romero's good ol' Kickstart plugin for sidechaining.
And even John Summit doesn't have a definite method for finding the right kick!
Just do trial and error until you find the right one.
He uses Decapitator's drum fattener settings.
Make sure that your percussion has some stereo width and pan elements so they can be heard and cut through the mix.
A GREAT tip he mentions is to not cut out all the lows of your percussion.
Many producers cut all lows of percussion elements so as not to muddle their bassline.
But it can result in tinny, hollow-sounding percussion that fails to fill the mix and weakens the overall punch of the mix.
The biggest value of this article is probably the Reddit threads - John Summit is still very active on Reddit, doing AMA's and helping other producers out with questions.
Check out this ask-me-anything thread of his.
