Had a go at the Pensado’s Place competition on Indaba Music. This is a very tricky mix, that need a fair amount of work on getting the percussion and guitars balanced through the stereo field. I thought I would go for a warm and live sound with this mix. Enjoy 🙂

This is one fun and crazy competition from Indaba Music had a few laughs making this original. Was very pleased to find some stems on the Converse Rubber Tracks Converse of Mantis Evar playing on the bass. This is all meant to be a bit of fun, need to know more? Just visit the Indaba community to ask why potatoes!!!

My music is mainly influenced by potatoes, this song is all about fired potatoes, and features Mantis Evar on Bass Guitar! No potatoes were harmed during the making of this song. Some might of been eaten…

Your Love feat. J-Rican (Doctrus orignal)

https://www.indabamusic.com/opportunities/future-beats-challenge-jrican/submissions/0cbe3db4-8bcb-11e5-897a-0e71cabc7a3b

Great vocals from J-Rican​, so had to have a go at this Indaba competition! What are my Influences? I like many genres, tend towards Electronica, Synth Pop, R&B, Funk and everything else! I put a considerable amount of time into this song, and was so pleased it turned out to be a very Funky R&B number with a warm classic retro feel! Hope Future Beats Records​ enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

Jessi Malay has really great vocals, so had to enter this competition. Wanted to make this a very warm, minimalist sound, with hints of Electronica, as I think it suits her vocals better. Enjoy!

Really like the atmosphere of the original, and the vocals. I added some warmth, extra synths, percussion and some floating arps. Enjoy!

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.
