2:15 Combination of plain Bass, Synth and beat
3:15 Song build-up from the holy choir towards the climax, introducing a new vocal sample

Sabo-fx - F Yeah! (original)

This tune was inspired by a song that resurfaced from a backup CD from the year 1999 that I found back amongst my closed full of shit. The original song was called “Blood War” by Jess D Skov-Nielsen from Denmark (also known as Ramzo). He composed the song to enter the Creative (Labs) Open MIDI Contest which he won with this track. I found out on archive.org that he entered the track into the completion with as comment: ”This tune is inspired from the AD&D world ‘Planescape’ where there is an eternal battle between hundreds of demons and devils of hell called ‘The Bloodwar’.” The music competition was organized by Creative Labs to promote their ‘Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold card’ audio card. Back in the previous century, this was an amazing piece of hardware for anyone wanting to get into electronic composition of music. When I got my hands on my own ‘Sound Blaster AWE64’ back in 1999, it really kicked my music into gear. With the soundcard came a CDROM with drivers and also some demonstration MIDI files. One of these tracks was “Blood War”.

I remembered the original track from back when I was about 20 years old. It was around this time that I first started dropping Molly. Hearing this song takes me right back. I hope my remix introduces the song to a new generation.

Thanx for watching! Hope you enjoy it.

Let me know what you think! Please leave a comment and/or thumbs up...

Recommendations:
Listen to the music on either a headphone or some big ass speakers (to fully enjoy the baseline).

Music Background info:
The music was originally intended for my previous video release (F yeah). But as the video of 'F Yeah' developed, I realized that this track demands a video that can keep up with its tempo (of 138 bpm). That's why I decided to keep this track for a future release, which has become the video that you just saw (The X in FX).

Video Background info:
This is my first video to be prefixed with a trailer-like introduction of the cast/models. Please let me know if you'd like to see more of this concept in my future releases.
I'd also like to point out the weird effect that my 'after effects plugin' had on the water of the shower in the second part of the video. From time to time, the droplets appear to swirl around instead of falling down in a straight line. This was not in the original footage!

Ethical perspective:
I personally feel no remorse on using videos of beautiful women as a means to spread my music. I'll be happy to admit that my videos contribute very little to encourage world peace or charity. On the other hand it's not making matters any worse either. And above all it appears to be most effective. Never in my life would I otherwise have an audience of hundreds of thousands of people. At least a portion of these people actually pay notice to my music. I see confirmation of this in the increasing number of people who are downloading MP3 versions of my music(videos). I am also very grateful to users who share their opinions as long as it is aimed at improving the product. Don't hold back! I need your suggestions and feedback (both the good and the bad) to verify that I'm heading in the right direction.

Music by SABO-FX

Music background:
The song guides you through various genres. Starts with melodic synths, turning into EDM, and cools down with some reggae. Digging the radio edit? Also enjoy the full 7-minute version on Spotify!
Fun facts:
It took me two weeks to learn how to make the reggae-ish ending.
Both 'Bring it... ' and 'whoooow' were sampled from TV series.
The chord progression was inspired by 'Take me to church' by Hozier. NO cover song though!
Composed and produced using only software instruments WEO a Midi keyboard.

SaBo-FX - PrimaDonnaGirl

Soundtrack 'What i need' by SABO-FX

Music background:
This is an original song. Over two years ago, I came up with the chord progression with the help of a tool called Cthulhu by Xfer Records.
That initial loop was rotting away on my harddrive until I could find the time to do it justice.
Then, a couple of months ago i bumped into the song 'Come' by 'Jain' 
https://open.spotify.com/track/1YrC8s6yZWw23QxW6rfM9f?si=d170ba3ecdc840ba
This song has a very catchy Chorus (about 30 seconds into the song). I was curious to see how the Chorus of 'Come' would sound when used as an input to a vocoder effect. 
Turns out, that it sounds pretty epic IYAM, when combined with the chord progression that i was still sitting on.

Background:
I made this cover after being blown away by Trijntje Oosterhuis who sang her version of this song on the Dutch tv show "Beste Zangers".
I love how the song really touches the soul. It takes you on a journey of many emotions.
Limiting the instrumental to only electric organ and acoustic guitar brings a kind of unplugged atmosphere to this version.

Let me know what you think! Please leave a comment and/or thumbs up...

Music Background info:
This video "Desire" is my first real fresh release since I started publishing on youtube. Almost all of my previous videos were based on older tracks that I composed some time ago.
But the music for this video is brand new. Actually, I just finished the song 2 weeks ago. I know that it's kind of a different style. So please let me know if you like it better or worse compared to my previous songs.

Video Background info:
I find it quite challenging to find a balance in the usage of special effects. I use special effects to create a connection between the music and the video. But too many special effects will obstruct the view for people who are more interested in the girls than the music. Please bear in mind that my options are also limited by the original footage and how it was filmed. I hope I got it right ;-)

Recommendations:
Listen to the music on either a headphone or some big ass speakers (to fully enjoy the baseline).
Watch the video in 1080p for the ultimate audiovisual experience!

Music Background info:
This song started out as a remix of one of the themes from the movie Tron. But when I played around with the chords it evolved into something completely different. I'm not sure how to label it in terms of music style. All I can say is that I'm quite happy with the result and hope you are too.

Video Background info:
The two girls in this video are just breathtakingly beautiful. For me they both are in the same league as my favorite Bethanie Baderstscher (model from my video 'f yeah'). It's pretty rare to see women who just with one glance can cause a meltdown. Kinda scary, wouldn't you agree?
I chose the title/theme 'lust' as it seems like a very natural feeling towards these girls.
Being a happy atheist I get to have a go at the Bible's frustrating way of dealing with this topic. While most religions try to convince you of the hidden evil, I would rather suggest celebrating 'lust'. It's the pure raw animal instinct that has driving billions of years of successful evolution.
Funny how the looks of these 'angels' would almost make me believe there must be a god 8-)

Sabo-fx - Lust (original)

Soundtrack info:
This soundtrack is a cover of the Tango version of a song called ‘Roxanne’ by ´The Police´. It started out as a test to see if I had the right KONTAKT soundbanks to simulate a full orchestra. (You be the judge)
I spend quite a lot a lot of time on fitting (timing + pitch) an acapella of Sting on my version of this song. To be honest I think Sting’s voice sounds more pleasant than the opera singer on the original tango version. Feel free to disagree.

SaBo-FX - Roxanne (tango version cover)

Music Background info:
This song is the second remix I made of 'Shout'. My first release dates back to 2001 when I made an instrumental version. Today, having more composing experience and way better software, I had to give it another go.
As you can read on Wikipedia, the original track is a protest song, intended to encourage people to stand up for their freedom and rights. Sounds like a great plan to me. And I hate to appear superficial but what a about my rights to publish some hot looking girls on youtube? Therefore, I dedicate this song to the staff at Youtube for banning my previous video due to showing a slightly covered nipple or two.

Download soundtrack: https://loudr.fm/release/sabotaged/CrZkn
(First track on the album)

Soundtrack info:
This soundtrack is a remix of ‘Adagio for Tron’ by  Daft Punk for Walt Disney’s movie called TRON. Similar to my ´Adagio for strings´ remix, both songs are based around the orchestral originals. In all honesty, I get to thank ´GermanSeaBass´ for his excellent arrangement of the original. I first tried to recreate the orchestral version to get a good feel of the track and the musical patterns. Then I doubled the tempo and replaced the majority of instruments with synthesizers. Added a beat and rearranged the tracks to sound more Trancy.

My music available online:
To much of my delight, I have found ‘LoudR.fm’. This is a service to sell my music online on all of the large music e-stores like Itunes, Rdio, Spotify.
Believe it or not, but you can even shazam the music from my videos! If you’d like to support my work by purchasing my first

I Need A Hero Ft Crystal Sherry (Hot summer II main soundtrack)

Song title : Wet
Alternative title : Money for nothing 2011 Remix
Music (remix): SaBo-FX
Original soundtrack by : Dire Straits - Money For Nothing (1988)
More info original : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_for_Nothing_%28song%29

Recommendations:
Listen to the music on either a headphone or some big ass speakers (to fully enjoy the baseline).

Music Background info:
The original tracked was apparently banned from Canadian radio stations from Januari to August 2011 for the reason of insulting the gay community with some parts of the lyrics. When this ban was lifted, it was news on the Dutch radio. This is why the song came under my attention while taking a shower.
I especially like the guitar part which you will also find remixed into my version. Furthermore I borrowed a sample of the main chorus:
“Now look at them yo-yo's that's the way you do it
You play the guitar on the MTV
That ain't workin' that's the way you do it
Money for nothin' and your chicks for free”
However the quality of the sample was crap, so I used a vocoder to beef it up. 
And to be honest, I like my version of the chorus better than the original.

Song Title:
Wet is better. What more can I say? Because a dry **** is not helping anybody.

Song title: Extacy
Music: SaBo-FX
Video (edit): SaBo-FX
Contains Sample: Nelly Furtado - Say it right
More info on original track: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Say_It_Right

Music Background info:
This track started out as a remix of Bonnie Tyler's 'Holding out for a hero'. But I changed so much that it is barely recognizable as such. While I was working on the track, my friend DJ XDC dropped by my studio. He listened to the music and though the track was based on Nelly Furtado's 'Say it right'. We were curious how Nelly's vocal would sound combined with my music. And lo and behold... it is actually quite an interesting match. However the acapella sample also contains backing vocals that are totally out of sync. That's why I limited the use of the vocal to the chorus.
The quality of the acapella sample was questionable at best. So forgive me that it's pretty hard to understand the lyrics. In case anyone wonders, here are the lyrics of the chorus:
"Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me
No you don't mean nothing at all to me
Don't you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me"

SaBo-FX - Extacy (original)

Music: SaBo-FX
Inspired by: Europe -- Final Countdown (1986)
More info original track: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Final_Countdown_%28song%29

Music Background info:
With all the fuzz about this year being the end-of-days, I thought this would be a good opportunity to pull this golden oldie from the shelf. I did a first attempt to include a bit of dubstep-ish bit in the middle of the song. I hope you enjoy it.

SaBo-FX - Erotic (Final Countdown 2012 remake)

I was suffering from a writer’s block for some time. But I’m back on track with this song which is a SaBo original for a change. The strange sounding instrument starting from 1:34 is actually a vocal that I found on a sample CD amplified with an electric guitar. I hope you enjoy the break beats in this song. I spent a lot of time fine-tuning them. Personally I like the last part of the song the most (starting from 3:04). I used the Camel Phat VST in combination with ReFX Nexus filters to create the raw bass sound.

SaBo-FX - Glazed (original)

Requiem For Fx

Music Background info:
It's been a while since I last released an original track. I was playing around with my Vocodex plugin when I found the inspiration to compose this into a full-blown song.
The vocoder effect distorts the lyrics beyond recognition. I challenge you to decipher them into the original text. If you do manage to do this, I'll modify this description to specifically mention your name here.
I think the song (melody) could also sound interesting in the form of a dubstep remix. I tried to do it myself but I suck at producing dubstep. If you have experience in composing dubstep, and feel like giving it a shot, leave a PM or comment. I can provide the separate audio tracks of this song to you. 

SaBo-FX - Gamble (original)

Music Background info:

SaBo-FX - Seduction (outro) (original)

The idea for this remake came from a befriended DJ that goes by the name of Romario.V.
I have always had a thing for the original song by Corey Hart and also loved the remix by Lissat & Voltaxx. But I hope you´ll agree that there´s room for one more reincarnation. Personally I am particularly happy with the way this song turned out from around 01:47.

Retreau Background info:
I first came up with the melody of this song in 2003 while riding the metro (subway) to work. I remember being afraid of forgetting the notes so I hummed the tune to my own voicemail. Once back at home, I checked my voicemail after which I recorded the basic melody into (an ancient version of) Cakewalk Sonar. I named the track 'Metro'. But I never found the time/inspiration to finish her. But recently, while f*cking around with the C64/SID Expansion pack of Nexus VST I dug her up in search for a melody to play with. I was surprised how well the raw 8 bit SID sounds fitted the song and decided to finally finish the job.
I wasn't really satisfied with the working title 'Metro' and renamed her to 'Retro' which fits better with the oldskewl sound. The problem with a title like 'Retro' is that it might suggest that the video would also be old pr0n. So I decided to mess with the name a bit more and came up with 'Retreau'. In part to appeal to my French audience who seem to have liked the previous video. (Youtube 'Insight' stats are the bomb!).

Sabo-fx ft. kleine D - Mijn Testament (original)

First of all, thank you for taking interest in my productions!

Bio:
Born in 1977, I grew up with the inspiring music of the 80s and 90s. Which I think produced some of the best music ever. From about the age of 13 I’ve been composing and (re)mixing all kinds of music, ranging from classic orchestral to hip hop to hard style.

My music:
For me, music is all about emotion. The music I prefer often communicates a sense of urgency, vulnerability, sadness, longing, melancholy and sometimes anger. I’m not a big fan of music that can be described as either happy, hopeful, or ‘middle of the road’. I like my listeners to hear that ‘I mean it…’ and ‘this guy does not f… around’.
When working on a song, the melody of a song is critical. It should at least be ´catchy´ enough to be recognized when someone whistles it down the street. Another thing that I focus on is variety and buildup of the song. When somebody reviews on of my tracks, at no point should I have to apologize for any part of the song getting too repetitive.

For the past 6 years I've also taken an interest in video editing and 3D graphics. So if you need a fancy, epic, slick intro, trailer, announcement or music video just let me know
