…This output is not available, since Indaba closed, however, this was a great collaboration with an Indaba multi-award winning artist:  cOokie marsZter. Our styles overlap with his ambient electronic and house music genres.  So when cOookie asked, I thought lets do it! , Our finished work was an Electronica version of the above song,  Really pleased how this has turned out with the electro bass, vocal chops and spinning arps! Enjoy 😀

Blind feat. Fleur (Doctrus remix) – Popular vote winner

Doctrus’s submission in Fleur – “Blind” Remix Contest

The Indaba Music community is made of 1.2 million music producers – from emerging artists to Grammy Award winners. We are committed to giving musicians the tools, resources, and opportunties they need to create music in the 21st cenutry.

What a great original. For this remix I’ve written a new percussion, bass, synth and blended some of the original instruments to give this a slightly uptempo sound. Put a lot of work into keeping the sound warm and expressive (plenty of dynamics). Really enjoyed remixing this track, hope you enjoy it also 🙂 FLEUR​ Indaba Music​

Sadly, Indaba is no longer with us!

Mississippi (Doctrus remix) – Popular vote winner

Really loved remixing this track, fantastic vocals! Thought I would go for a classic sound that was sympathetic to the lead vocals. I essentially brought the vocals out and gave it a strong classic R&B feel with some Electronic lightly added. Hope you like it!

Spoooooky Samples (Doctrus original) – Popular vote winner (Chosen by Indabamusic)

Sadly Indaba is no longer with us to quote Indaba: ‘The Indaba Music community is made of 1.2 million music producers – from emerging artists to Grammy Award winners. We are committed to giving musicians the tools, resources, and opportunties they need to create music in the 21st cenutry.’

Had great fun making these!  Won popular vote for these creepy sounds! I produced some introduction sounds, that were a short run showcasing the samples, creepy noises. Followed by 3 x beat loops (using those samples). Then, recreated all the samples wet (haunting effects reverbs to increase the fear), followed by all the samples dry. Hope you like them!

Subaqueous (Doctrus original) Popular vote winner

This track was inspired from samples provided by Astro Nautico (Converse Rubber Tracks Sample Library). My music writing tends to be very organic and abstract, influenced by many genres, but outputs are often Electronica in nature. Really like how this merged into a watery theme with sonar like sounds and ripping guitars. This came out as a popular vote winning original track from me… Enjoy!
