Producer Notes episode 047 features Anjunadeep-like Melodic House styles:
In this YouTube Series with Francois we’re analysing the Vocal Melodic House style of Jan Blomqvist and Natascha Polké (modelled after a track called “Midnight Sun” from the new album “Mute”).
Watch and see what we can learn from this signature Jan Blomqvist style merging dreamy soundscapes, sustained moog basslines and groovy drums.
The key lessons from this episode are:
- Kick & Toms to set up a groovy low end
- Sustained Bass layers with 5ths, mono and portamento for glide
- Layered, dispersed Claps for deep groove
- One note plucks for depth and atmosphere
- Arrangement: simple 2 x break(verse)-drop with a monotonous bass & drum intro and outro.
- More key lessons in the video!
