Origins

This week was a house music challenge on the wav.ryders Discord. I leaned fully into late 80s Chicago deep house and I am genuinely proud of how this one turned out.
Classic 909 drums. Driving bassline. A pad. A topline. Done.
I spent the week in the mountains with my family, squeezing in small studio sessions whenever I could. At first the track sounded more contemporary, especially the drums. But going back to the roots and committing to the 909 changed everything. Staying close to the original drum patterns gave it the right pulse.
Exploring this genre is fascinating. There is so much depth in what seems simple.
This one was pure fun.
