Like it or Not

This is Let’s Dance...Vol.3 which is a composition of cover songs from across the genres and through the generations...There are also Let’s Dance Vol1 & 2 which I have recorded and produced earlier...so go on and have a listen, if you haven’t heard them before...bound to entertain...for sure.

The album starts off with the song Dancing on A Saturday Night, which was a hit by Barry Blue in 1973. It is followed by the Beatles Rock & Roll Music, which was a hit in 1964. There are other rock and roll hits like Elvis Presley’s Jailhouse Rock going all the way back to 1957...but the song is a real dance classic and very popular through the generations.

Chuck Berry is one of the all-time greats of rock and roll and have admired his singing and guitar playing. I always wanted to record one of his songs and what better than ‘Johnny B. Goode’ (released in 1955) which is considered one of the most recognizable songs in the history of popular music and is credited as "the first rock & roll hit about rock & roll stardom”. So, I hope you enjoy my cover version....

Chubby Checker is an American rock and roll singer and dancer who was famous for the Twist, and I have done a cover version of Let’s Twist Again (released in 1961) and hope you can have a dance or do the twist or just enjoy the music...

I have tried a bit of Latin music in La Bamba and the Gypsy Kings version of Volare...so go on and have a dance...

A touch of Rhythm and Blues with Sweet Home Chicago which was made famous by the Blue Brothers in 1980...so something for the R&B fans to enjoy...

A bit of country dance with Dwight Yoakam’s Heartaches by The Number for the country music fans to get you up and dancing...so I hope you enjoy this one as well.

A bit of Reggae with the songs Games People Play and Sweets for My Sweets...so something for the Reggae fans to indulge...

Some classic Rock tracks with the Doobie Brothers China Grove, ELO’s Hold on Tight, Elvis’ Burning Love, Cliff Richard’s Please Don’t Tease and Shakin’ Stevens, You Drive Me Crazy will certainly get you rocking along or just enjoying the music...

I have done my own cover version of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You...a challenging song for an instrumental, but am happy with my cover version...so hope you enjoy this one as well...

Katrina and the Waves’ Walking on Sunshine will certainly lift the mood and I have recorded a new version...so hope you enjoy the song...

Two classic dance songs to finish the album with Whams’ Freedom and Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance with Somebody...so hope you enjoy these as well...

So, I really enjoyed the challenge in doing this dance album which has improved my mixing and production skills up a notch and has allowed me to expand my creativity to the another level... 

I’m sure you will enjoy listening to this album as I have enjoyed the challenges in recording and producing it… Enjoy!!!

'Make It' KXNG Crooked & Leo Dynamic1

The first in a new series of mixes focusing on the sounds that inspire me. To kick things off, this mix is focused on some of the darker sides of techno moving into more progressive and melodic elements. A nice mix for a late evening or the morning after...

Every Sound is programmed by myself in Dexed, send as Sysex to the hardware and adjusted on the hardware itself, because the sounds were sometimes a bit off (Keyvelocity. The Attack on the EGs most of the time)
