This song was written entirely from scratch, using a midi keyboard, VSTs in Ableton Live 9, and my own recorded samples. …It was written specifically for this competition! I’ve gone for a fun and slightly funky summer song, with a catchy beat.
Influenced by may genres, I thought it would be fun to create a fusion of retro themes sympathetic to the 70s, and CHIC.
Sadly not available to listen – no more Beatport Play…

I’m influenced by many genres. However, wanting to be sympathetic to its excellent original, I thought it would be good fun to try a jazzy feel, with a hint of funk. Enjoy this chilled version, with a new melody and percussion 🙂 With thanks to Le Vab for a critical ear!
I completed the Golden Ears challenge successfully… Not easy to complete, but a great way to learn and or test your listening skills. There is actually quite a noticeable difference between low and high quality MP3s…Â More tricky was the tests requiring higher frequency listening, most people do not have hearing up to full 16KHz, very much age dependent.
UPDATE: Sadly this fantastic audio test is no longer available…
This is what it looked like before they pulled it down (all the way to the gold at the end):

Created an internalised feel for this Electronica dance style track, I think I could have opened the sounds up better, more dynamic range. But still nice with the melody.

Wanted to make this into a dance version, hard hitting in places but keeping some of the great ambience of the original. My influences tend to be electronica artists, hopefully this comes through with this remix. Enjoy!

I’ve used a fusion of Latin styles, with a gentle dance beat. Wanted to keep Debi Nova’s original vocals, as it is a really beautiful tune. The percussion is a mix of Reggaeton and Salsa. I spoke with Debi online, she liked what I had done, not sadly no win this time 🙂

I wanted to keep the strength and the energy of the vocals in the originals. Added some new beats, drums and and melody. The intention was to bring out the vocals and create a warmer but still hard hitting sound.

Thought it would be fun to create an electronica version, playing on the fun of the original. Sounds like a computer game soundtrack with my tweaks 🙂
