This is session 14 of the YouTube Series with Francois PML called "Producer Notes". In Episode 014 we are analysing the Melodic Afro House style of artists "keinemusik", Rampa, &Me and to a certain degree also "Moderat".
Watch and see what we can learn from this style sitting somewhere between Percussive House and Afro House.
The key lessons from this episode are:
- Main elements of this sound:
- Clean low-end with Toms for groove
- Shakers for groove and timing
- One tonal Percussive Element is mixed louder and can be part of the Melody (Here: Bells and glass sounds)
- Savannah-type element for vibe: whoop, elephant type sounds
- Piano for harmonic core
- Trippy, uplifting vocals
