Million Miles Away
Thanks to
3FM’s 90′s request week, I rediscovered Dune’s “Million miles away from home”. A happy hardcore track from 1996. I loved the chord sequence and vocoder featured in the song. After some fiddling around in Propellerheads Reason I was surprised to see how this fast-paced song could be increased in tempo (240bpm) and converted into a 120PBM clubmix, which I subsequently managed to finish.

We Are In Love album art
Recently came across the website ccMixter.org. It features (a Capella) samples free to use through Creative Commons licenses.
At ccMixter I found the a Capella tracks by Shannon Hurley and decided to base a song around one of them. Without ever listening to the original song (including instrumentation), I built chords around the a Capella track for ‘We are in love’. I think it turned out pretty good, and today I finished the final mix.

Senior
Well, giving a track a title like
Junior forces me to make a ‘Senior’ as well. So here it is. Label it trip-hop, hip-hop, big beat, orchestral, whatever you like. Basics: I composed a string arrangement using Reason’s proprietary strings, ‘fattened’ them up, supported them by a deep synth bass and added a firm beat.

Junior
Fresh from Reason, I hope this cheers you up as much as it did me whilst making it!
