A girl keen to invite a guy into her life,

What you waiting for?

Go tell her, Go giddy, Yo Money.

The Beat Maker

The idea is to get out of the rut and to try and stay positive.

Lick the depression

Feel this good

Come Around Here

Heartbeat

Off The Ground

The Thoughts Of You And Me

My Breakdown process: My first step was to listen to the mastered original on Spotify and pick out what I loved and what I’d change from my first listen. It’s a great track and fits pretty close to my music DNA so I decided not to mess with the track too much (well 30-40 hours, but most non-musos won’t’ hear those little things I’ve done). I’ve used most of the raw stems, rearranged, given the stems a little more 16c groove which I could hear in the vocals. I also added some side-chained delays on vocals which is a style I like these days. The original drums have some extra distortion and I’ve introduced a new kick, sample beats and percussion that drops in and out. I’ve also added quite a bit of manual playing of clavs, piano and pads. These instruments feature strongly in my original stuff, probably because they are highly dynamic and tend to allow me to add my own signature riffs to songs. One of the piano lines is a harmony which I really wanted to hear in the chorus. This harmonises with Ill Factor’s original Juno idea from the first 10 minutes of the song’s conception. The whole track is also rearranged to add a new instrumental part of the track which also adds a bigger chunk of my original ideas to the remix. The mix is e-mastered with a slight cut in the high end to add warmth to my ears.

I have second-guessed myself a few times since posting my first idea quite early and especially after watching how Ill Factor does his remixes. I felt that maybe I didn’t push my own style enough so I tried quite a few versions with different chords and structure. The last edit ending up merging 2 ideas which were my favs, so this final mix evolves quite a bit between verse 1 and verse 2 from quite a sparse sound much like the released track to a bit of a foot-tapping groove in some sections.

I hope you enjoy.

stufly - aka Stuart Flynn - Sunshine Coast - Australian producer, composer, keys and bass player, passionate about creating unique music. Recently co writing with Pete York who opened the show with the latest track from my self titled album to 20,000 at the O2 Arena London in Dec 2016 supporting Fat Boy Slim. Other collabs have included UK award winning Elle Ray (Canada), Reach duo(Italy) and Zaza (LA). I aim to write the sort of tunes I'd want to listen to, and hopefully in the process others like them too. I initially create instrumental tracks of which 50% attract collaborations and evolve with various singers worldwide. Pop/old school verse/bridge/chorus type arrangements stem from the influence of music from growing up in the 70's-80's, but I also enjoy many of the current sonic trends and evolutions of styles. I've been influenced by Rudimental production team, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Australian pop, Various commercial artist including the Bee Gees, Fleetwood Mac, MJ, Prince. I'm always looking for more inspiration wherever I can find it. My fav producer/remixer at the moment is Kygo. I love getting real time feedback on my own uploads as well as discovering and sharing new and exciting tunes from others. Take the time check out a few of my tunes and shares. 14 tracks are available on iTunes or Spotify to share and save while I develop a new album due for release this year. Many of the new tracks in progress are available to listen to here on Soundcloud. If you're a singer and like my stuff don't hesitate to drop me a line and maybe we can work on something.
