This is session 17 of the YouTube Series with Francois PML called Producer Notes and we are analysing the Melodic Afro House style of artists Adam Port, Stryv, Keinemusik, Orso and Malachiii.
Watch and see what we can learn from this style sitting somewhere between Percussive House, Afro House, RnB and Latin influences.
The key lessons from this episode are:
- 1. Low-End: Sustained bass, clean punchy kick
- 2. One note synth (rhythmically, morphing)
- 3. Deep Vibe Pads in the background
- 4. "Latin" Clap, Perc and Tom elements playing together
- 5. Shakers for groove and timing
- 6. Organic sounding Piano element in the background
- 7. Dreamy, almost RnB-like Vocal
- 8. Fx: percs, drum rolls, etc
