I've always liked that rolling bassline on Madonna's "Like a Virgin". What would it sound like played as a 303 acid line? This track is pretty much a straight cover with only some minor changes to the arrangement. In particular, the original drum track was scrapped in favor of a vanilla 4-on-the-floor house beat. The bottom end is entirely too bass-heavy and muddy but it is a fun subwoofer workout.

Funky Ducksters - Like A Virgin (Acid Stylee)

Something from the 80's including over-the-top Simmons-style synth drums, some SAW-style piano, and a Moroder-style sequenced bassline. Threw this together in about 30 minutes so it is half baked but is was fun to make! All hardware production.

Funky Ducksters - 80s Kid

I've got a fever for more house piano. Layers and layers of synths on this one, all sequenced on Roland MV-8800 in one take.

Funky Ducksters - Chipper Piano

Another quick 80's-sounding pop tune featuring the classic DX7 bass sound from an original, vintage DX7. Other synths used include DSI Prophet-08, Roland JD-Xi, Novation MiniNova, Yamaha QY-100. Sequenced on a Roland MV-8800, no computer was used in the production of this track.

Funky Ducksters - Aladdin's Castle

Old school bouncy house track. Roland Boutique (JU-06, JP-08)synths featured prominently, as well as Roland JD-Xi, Dave Smith Prophet-08, Yamaha QY-100 and Korg MicroKorg. Sequenced on Roland MV-8800, mastered on all outboard gear. No computer was used in the production of this track.

Ella's Groove

"Funky Ducksters" is my vintage "old school" house music project. The goal is to capture the vintage vibe and under-produced sound of old Detroit, Chicago and Dutch house records. These tracks are produced entirely using modern and vintage hardware, mixed on analog desks, and sequenced using a Roland MV-8800. No computer was used in the production of any of the Funky Ducksters tunes.

Funky Ducksters - Dark Chocolate Mousse

Funky Ducksters - Chocolate Fountain

"Protodance" was my old Progressive House/Acid House Live PA project from the late 90's / early 2000's. The tunes are here for nostalgic purposes. All Protodance tunes were produced on hardware synthesizers (analog and digital), sequenced on an Alesis MMT-8 and mixed on an ancient Ross Audio analog desk.

Protodance - Downtime

Co-production with Aaron Harris (Razorguts).

Slightly experimental, hard, minimal acid. All hardware production.

Razorguts & DJ Derek - Two One

A bouncy, happy jam for my daughter! Organ bass, marchy snares, stabby chords included.

Funky Ducksters - Ceci's Morning Song

I always liked the old-skool piano intro from Doctor P's "Sweet Shop" so I decided to make an acid-house jam around that motif (that particular chord progression and its variants have been used in countless Italo-house and piano-house tracks). Add in some organ and a squiggly acid line and the tune is complete. All hardware production - no computer was used. There are some experimental analogue-gear mastering techniques on this track so my apologies for wack sound.
