    I love it because it that combo of that angelic voice and the "sleezy ballroom jiggle". I've done a few new ones that I will post including one that I just started yesterday and is very interesting

    Have you ever heard "Begging You" from The Stone Roses? Someone on the internet suggested that that had a heavy influence on "Discotheque" so I went ahead and found out.. Will post later..
  2. I'm not a Stone Roses fan, I've tried to get into them but they just don't click with me
  3. @LikeASong Have you tried Waterfall or I Wanna Be Adored yet? The main kick I get out of them is that epic drummer (Reni). They're masters of Groove but didn't have enough "songs" I guess..
  4. Ok, so this was the song that was said to have "influenced" the beats on Discotheque:

    Yeah I've tried all the main "hits" (if you may call them so) and even their Spotify "This Is #"... They just don't do it for me.
  6. So I had a first go at mixing the 2 up into a single "song" They're both quite frantic songs so the result is frenzy hot mess.

    - The tempo was exactly the same, and I just had Larry and Reni landing on the same kickdrum at the start
    - Larry fades out after the first 25 seconds and then it's Bono/Adam alternating with Ian/Mani for vocals/bass (Edge is on the whole track)

  7. I recently revived an older idea, which was to see which songs originated from the infamous "Take You Down" (Ultraviolet was U2's working title) demo from the Salome tapes.

    I took the backing of that demo and mixed in:

    - Lady with the spinning head vocals (after all that's called UV1)
    - (part of) The Fly Solo
    - Lemon(!) "midnight" vocal/piano
    - Ultraviolet (Light My Way) vocal intro in the break and Edge/Bono's lead towards the end
    - The Fly Guitar outtro

    This isn't a great "song" perse but was more an exercise to figure out which songs clearly were derived from that demo. Ps. Lemon is a bit of a stretch, cause I had to change the key/tempo..

    It's an amazing mix So surprising that Lemon also (kinda) fits
  9. That came from this bit I found in February on the Salome tapes. There's a lot of drum/bass (programmed)tracks on discs 4-7 and I stumbled on a bit that resembled Lemon. But it's kind of a generic beat, so a wild guess :-)

  10. Did this (quick) Remix today of the Acoustic Best Thing + Kygo which I kinda like because Bono's a full octave lower for most of it (and the end that runs out of Kygo and morphs into sounding a bit like The Beatles ):

    Sort of already been done, but nice idea
  12. @ustinpushplay Haha, didn't know that such a remix existed already (that's a first). Will check it out, thanks .

    It was a spontaneous idea after someone shared that acoustic version yesterday, took 1-2 hours to make.

    If you any suggestions btw shoot them here in this topic, always open for new ideas
