Troy

Even as a German native speaker it’s sometimes difficult to understand lyrics: The song “Monica Bellucci” from the German rapper Renato Simunovic alias “RIN” immediately caught my attention because of the excellent beat and the very cool vocal effect, using very decent pitch correction. More than 18 million Spotify streams are already confirming the high potential of this song.

The first text line I understood clearly in the lyrics was “Nokia 8210”, which reminds of forgotten times.

The person behind the excellent beat is actually Alexis Papadimitriou alias Alexis Troy, a German producer. He is producing music for various projects, from commercials to songs for hip hop artists. This teaser for one of his songs contains great drone shots.

This is the full song “Sirens” – excellent filtered drum set and synth atmosphere!

Reflection

“Reflekt” is a music project of Jean Sebastian Fontaine & Julian Ashley Peake – they entered music business with a nice #14 UK Single Charts position for their debut single “Need To Feel Loved” in 2005. In 2010 Adam K from Toronto, Canada has released a super cool remix of this song; especially the first minute of his remix is amazing.

Even on a home keyboard this song sounds great – excellent strings at 3:23 min.

A super cool instrumental version of this song was created by the Youtuber Dasuud in Fruityloops (now renamed to FL Studio after a trademark issue with the Kellogg company). Music meets cerial. 🙂

Beyond the sun

“Sun in your eyes” from Above & Beyond – a song and a photo as if it was made for this blog. 🙂 Sit back and enjoy the sound atmosphere!

A “different” kind of cover version was created by the Youtuber “New Saga” with the little Korg Volca Keys Analog Loop synth – great job!
