Inspired by nostalgia for the disco funky house era of early 2000 and the hard-edge beaty drops of now, Dare Me is a combination of approximately 8 tracks and includes samples from Vintage Culture, Pointer Sisters, Faithless and Kibou. Heavily shortened for playing out and with only a single drop, Dare Me allows a glimpse of that funky house and disco throwback in amongst something a lot tougher.


Dare Me

This started as [this short video](https://clapcat.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/video/austin-cannon_indie-pop-jam.mp4) from Austin Cannon. He called the clip Indie Pop Jam, but I can't see if he has done anything with it. Either way, I turned it into this little, casual and relaxed liquid drum-and-bass track. I like it, it's quite relaxing, maybe you will to.

I loved [Yotto's Silhouette](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXkH5pKD7So). It's this blissful chillout track with this haunting vocal layered over. But I would never be able to play it in its beatless form, so I made this remix. It's actually pretty rough in terms of production, but it is/has been popular on Soundcloud (whilst it was available there) and I think people enjoyed the wonder of the original with some movement.


Silhouette

More piano madness for this one. The vocal is AI (again) and with this one I tried to make something a little darker, but with some vocal. So there isn't actually much singing, but there a lot of chops, echoey bits and some wailing. The track has 3 drops, bags of pianos and a bit in the middle that has strings from the 90s. Lovely.

Hold It (Just A Little Longer)

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

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.
