Before you ask, the vocal came from AI. I liked it, the lyrics and tone are good. Originally, it was part of a downtempo, lounge song, so I beefed it up, added a growly bass, elements and drops and you've got this.

I wanted something a little Jerome Sydenham - Sandcastles, or Swimming Places by Julien Jabre. I can't say I've got that at all, but you can possibly see the influences nonetheless.

Thank You began with a single trumpet stem from an AI generator. It became this. I wanted an afro house Nora En Pure-esque track and to have some energy in it. I think it does, but eye of the beholder and all that.


Thank You

Oh, how I love [Linus Loves VH1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wovvcqgl8OM). It went seemingly unnoticed in 2006 on their Stage Invader album. Using the Fleetwood Mac Big Love sample, it was an example of amazing synth work. This version doesn't do too much to it, because hell you can't get much better. What it does do is delay the drop massively and the first minute has been squeezed of gratifying sub and bass so that drop slaps you right in the gob. Lots of chops and re-introduction of the original Big Love sample rounds this quick dash back to 2006.


Yotto and Joris Voorn are two of my favourite artists and when Joris Voorn rolled out his version of Yotto's Walls, I loved it. The trouble is; I couldn't play it. It didn't fit in the sets because it didn't have enough ooomph, enough wallop. So this version, which is actually the second remix I've done, isn't really a remix at all. It's a ... beefing up. New drums, extra sounds, slightly overdriven - you get the idea.

The original is amazing, I strongly encourage you listen and pick it up and you explore the work of both Yotto and Joris.


Walls

The stabby computer game sound came first. It was inspired by the video games of the 80s and once the stabby riff was made, the rest sort of came together quite quickly. I don't love the track, but it's different and original, so out it goes...
