Kom Maar Bij Mij

One of the key dance tracks from the 1980's. Watch their video and you will get the idea!

Pure Retro Pop

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round

Used by Funkleberry as the backing track to his 2020 hit version, his instrumental version deserves a listen in its own right.

Cher - Believe

U.S.A. For Africa - We Are The World

I knew Sparks as a two-hit wonder from the 1970's. However, thanks to Netflix, I watched "The Sparks Brothers" documentary on their career which started in 1966 and they have been influencing, collaborating and filling auditoriums and stadiums since having produced 25 albums of quirky songs over their long career. . 

I am a belated Sparks convert!. 

This hit from 1994 which made #7 in Germany.

Sparks - When do I get to sing 'My Way'

Wikipedia says the Gabrielle's 2001 hit, "Rise", "takes extensively from Bob Dylan's 1973 song "Knockin' on Heaven's Door", albeit reportedly with Bob Dylan's permission. 

That is probably the understatement of the 21st century and I took the two songs and mashed them together to find that only the melody and lyrics had changed. Everything else aligned perfectly.

So this is hopefully an interesting curio for Gabrielle, Guns N Roses and Bob Dylan fans alike.

Gabrielle - Rise/Knocking On Heaven's Door (mash-up)

Herb Albert's classic 1979 Disco Hit; mostly played when the pizzas were being served or when you wanted to give the punters one last slow disco dance before turning the cleaning lights on. 

The advantage of this track was that you could both slow dance with your partner if things were going well, or dance awkwardly apart from each other longing for the bright lights being turned on before beating a path to the toilets and planning your escape! :-)

Herb Albert - Rise

Legendary 60's organist Jimmy Smith track. If you don't know his music, check him out!

Jimmy Smith - Chicken Shack

Tombé Pour La France Etienne Daho Cover

The original is really slow and melancholic, and as my student colleagues wanted to do a cover track (to the original tempo), I thought it would be fun to produce a Dance version. It actually turned out much better than I thought it would!  :-)

Radiohead - Exit For a Film (Instrumental Dance Mix!)

Just a gentle groove for a historic song!

Nelson Mandela. 

"I detest racialism because I regard it as a barbaric thing whether it comes from the black man or the white man."

Simple Minds - Mandela Day

This is an EDM  cover version of the Radiohead song "Exit for a Film" with vocals by Lia.

Exit For a Film

Exit For a Film (Feat Lia)

A bonus track to Funkinova's Tribute to Camel album that was released in May 2022. If you like crazy time signatures, this one's for you!

Camel - Lunar Sea

A hit in the Netherlands and the UK in 1985. 

The song takes place in the future where there was a 100-year long war on Mars.

The Rah Band - Clouds Across the Moon

No End in Sight: The Very Best of Foreigner

I Want to Know What Love Is (2008 Remaster)

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10.

Dave Brubeck - Take Five

Sade - Smooth Operator

These tracks were edited using the CVP705 and demonstrate the audio capability of the excellent keyboard. I am hoping that Yamaha will address the major weakness of having very limited free available memory after which I would give the keyboard 10/10.

Kleine Jongen

Hi all, so from 2016 to 2024 I assembled and produced a large collection of covers of many of my favorite tunes as my own hobby (and many during COVID lock-downs!) and I have accumulated over 2,900,000 plays across the world which is awesome!

I am much more of a producer that a musician. These first 8 years of my music was mostly based on midi cover tracks often downloaded from the Internet but heavily reproduced and re-imagined variously on my two Yamaha keyboards (Clavinova and PSR 975), but also using PC midi editing & DAW software.

Towards the end of that period, I added some of my more original electronic music which I produced over the past two decades under the name of Funkleberry in order to consolidate my Soundcloud accounts. 

But in 2024 I got into AI music generation and I am now  a freelance songwriter and AI music producer. It's been a fun journey!
