We don't hear much of this genre on the forum. Your female vocalist knocks this out of the park! Really cool song! Do you have a list of the RTs you used?

Liked it a bunch!

Nice work on this, definitely reminiscent of club music from the 90's, and very different than what you typically hear on the showcase smile How did Band-in-a-Box play a part here? Really curious to know!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Will! A very interesting choice for a dance tune. The arrangement is wonderful and fun to the ears. I agree with Deryk definitely reminds me of 90s' nightclub. Nice vocal samples too with Monique. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Deryk,

Thank you for your kind words!
As I wrote in my original post I used _BUBLGM4.STY which is:

RT 1930 Synth (bass)
RT 1934 Synth (Rhythm)
RT 2306 Synth (Rhythm)
RT 2307 Synth (Rhythm)
and
Realdrums=Eurodance^1-a.bass, Clap, b:bass, Snare

... and then of course the vocal from Monique.

Thanks for showing interest in my first few tracks in BiaB. I hope I will improve in the future.

Will

Very cool tune. Loved the harmonizing. Well done... The vocalist reminded me of Meghan Traynor

The sonic textures are excellent! Makes me want to dance, but I might throw my back out.

Hello, Will

Yes, this is certainly somewhere in a night club 1996, 3 am.
I entirely agree with Alan.
We don't hear much of this genre on the forum.
Your female vocalist knocks this out of the park!
Really cool song!
I also remembered Japanese composer Tetsuya Komuro's sound.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thank you very much!

Never heard about Tetsuya Komuro - I will see if I can find his music - it is always nice to get new inspiration.

Kind regards,
Will

Will,

This is very engaging from start to finish. Monique does a super job with the vocals. That said, though, you've also done an equally super job composing, arranging and mixing this music. It's great!

All the best,
Noel

The only distraction was our sub-woofer dancing across the floor.

It's all here...great vocal, arrangement and production.

Another illustration of what a talented vocalist, a pro sounding production and BiaB can turn out.

Kudos!!!
