This is session 15 of the YouTube Series with Francois PML called "Producer Notes". In Episode 015 we are analysing the Melodic House, Afro House style of artists "Rüfüs Du Sol", Adriatique and to a certain degree also "WhoMadeWho" and labels like "Rose Avenue Records".
Watch and see what we can learn from this style sitting somewhere between Melodic House and Afro House.
The key lessons from this episode are:
- Main elements of this sound:
- Shakers for groove and timing
- Toms for groove
- Bells, glass sounds
- The loud melodic percussion element
- "Elephant", animal type sounds
- Pitched Synth fx stabs for vibe
- Pianos (simple)
- Dreamy, Trippy vocals and processing
