This mash-up of Cooly's Hot Box sample, Armand Van Helden's Funk Phenomena and Bleu Clair remix, a new drumline, lots of filtering, chopping and even the accapella resulted in this jackin' take on the long-ago original by AVH. I'm personally not a huge fan anymore, I think it might be too long and overuses the Cooly sample too much; alas, here it is nonetheless.


Funk Phenomena

Ho ho ho. Sussudio. What was I doing? Well, no one can realistically dislike Phil Collins or the original surely...

I wanted to make something that actually didn't use much of Sussudio at all, but that didn't work and I ended up with this version. I didn't want it to be too "wedding music", so it barely has any vocal in it - just a single 16 and he sings the word Sussudio just once (save for some background). I mean it's still Sussudio so we're hanging on to credibility by our finger tips, but I'm sure there's a dancefloor out there somewhere who'd love a flashback to the 80s!

I was asked how many tracks could I squeeze into 45minutes or so. So this was my attempt. A real mixed-bag, fun and tomfoolery abound.

I'm enjoying making piano tracks at the moment and from some experimentation this came out. The vocal is AI (because who can afford a professional singer) and it does a reasonable job. Powerful In Love has a single drop, lots of pianos and has these string uplifters that remind me of the 90s.

Powerful In Love

This track is a remix of a folk song by Caio Klin. I found the vocal and his version on a popular AI music site. I quite enjoyed what he'd made and he was inviting remixes. Most of the remixes I found were folksy versions; regurgitations of his original work. This, well, it's different and trying to edge it toward danceable. It's very commercial, but look, I remixed Phil Collins once, so I know no bounds to the level of commercialism I will plunge to.

Is it for a nightclub? Err, no. This is for the car after the nightclub perhaps. Or maybe the bath the next day. Either way, loved the big piano stomps and some of the synths later in the track.

Fake Love Story

I've gone through a period recently where everything sounds like a deadmau5 track without me actually trying to even create anything like a deadmau5 track... This was supposed to be a more Nora En Pure type track, more downtempo. Instead it turned out a bit angry.
