Sons of Euro Disco...sounds a little like "Ain't To Old for Rock n Roll" taken onto the space station.
FUN.

Well, it's outa our listening zone smile

But that doesn't keep us from appreciating the effort
you put into this.

Not being EDM listeners our only way to relate is from
tunes we run across on Songtradr and also from the
background tracks we hear on ads. It would seem to
fit very nicely with many that needed a modern "action"
and/or "fast moving" track. Gotta check this out with
the big system and subs but it sounds huge on the monitors.

You may have new career!

Great job on this one! All your music has an element of tv or film quality. I can hear this in a movie or tv show.

Steve, what TV show would you use this in? Most Wanted or Cops?

Thanx for listening and the very nice comments. I stick with one DAW as for me to switch between DAWs does not promote creativity. It promotes high blood pressure!



I think Cops! As far as the DAWs go, they all pretty much do the same thing. When I switch to a new one or one I haven's used much in a while, it just generates new ideas and concepts of producing. That works for me. (I've always had low blood pressure.) smile

The piece was an interesting listen really well done. Not at all what I would have thought. Thanks you.

Thanx Tony. But I can't even remember those words. They came from a synth patch!


I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

FUN.


I've always wanted to go in to space but if this is what they are playing for RnR then I'm staying on this planet!

Thanx for listening.

No new EDM career for me. I'll stick with RnR, jazz, new age and ambient thank you very much!

I wasn't as much excited as I was afraid as I have never done anything like this before. Plus I doubt that I will ever do this again grin

Hi Mario,



This is great!

I love it smile Like you, I'm too old to classify this but it sounds like EDM meets Bollywood meets experimental to me.

The production sizzles while the groove engages and tantalises at the same time.

Well done on attempting to close that generation gap or two. I flounder every time I try!

Thanx Noel. I didn't expect to get this many likes with this one. It is way out of my comfort zone.
