There is just something magical about the original that's so hard to replicate. Not only the sound selection but also something in the mixing that makes it special and inimitable. The saturation and compression add a lot. Musically, its pretty dead simple....the drum pattern, the synth parts...but there is this x-factor to Kavinsky's music that is entirely his own and hard to copy.
@@piposebastian6532 yeah we might do that actually, do a cover version where we take a few different artistic decisions :) the foundation is already there after all...
Just to mention for the penniless like me: I explored a bit on the Surrealistic MG-1 Plus Synthesizer then using the DCO-106. I obtained the same kinds of sounds for, respectively, free and 25$. Pretty sure there are other VSTs emulating the Juno cheaper than the Roland VST JUNO-60 synth ;)
Thanks for the breakdown, it's such a great song. Although the bits about 'we took the chords and here's what the synths sound like' is kind of like 'How to draw an owl, step one, draw an owl' :)
Yeah I have to agree, it would have been great to see you explain the notes used for the arps etc I think I have an idea but still new to it all (use the base note progression?)
Brilliant! Such a great song! It always reminds me of M83 - Midnight City, as they were both popular around the same time. That track could be another fun one to do with Juriji too!
I like how the styles of the 80's and 90's are coming back. 80's in form of the music, and 90's in fashion even. That jacket wouldve been ridiculed ten-fifteen years ago, now I'd love to have a similar one haha.
Excellent video, as always! The idea of doing these exercises and studies to develop techniques is no different than figure sketching for anatomy or painting still-life studies to master chiaroscuro. Watching how you approach them is an invaluable lesson for all of us under your tutelage! Thank you helping me to understand these parallels, and constantly arming us all with new techniques and tools for music production.
Excellent tutorial! I noticed that there is also a sub bass carrying the sound of the bass and a very light guitar lick in the verses accentuating the arp. These are very fine details that make the sound unique. ❤
Nice tutorial, great reconstruction, clear as always (best channel on producing!) and Juriji added a nice androgyne texture to the vocals that makes them sounding quite better than original. Great job you both did. Will you do a "long" cut? Quite fast, a lot of steps still missing and filming a bit of your interactions with Juriji would have been interesting (how you adjusted, discussion to find the right tone, etc.).
For this particular one I don't plan to do a longer version, but I'll be experimenting with different balances of behind-the-scenes content vs. educational content vs. entertainment content for sure! For the vocal discussion, yes, we decided to explore this slightly lower register as it felt more intimate/vulnerable :)
Love this style of vid. Really entertaining! Plus it was interesting to see the other side of this angle we’ve been seeing all this time! Keeping in this electro vibe an M83 Midnight city version of this would be sick. See how that hook is created 🔥
French people rules 🙌🏻 Kavinsky, Daft Punk, Air, Cassius, Sébastien Tellier, Justice, Breakbot, Arnaud Rebotini, Black Devil Disco, Phoenix, Stardust, Alan Braxe… What Else?!
Awesome, great job! Would love to see more of these deconstruction videos. „Subzero“ from Ben Klock with a focus on Mixing could be great! I always wondered how he does it…
Hot stuff Oscar! Juriji is awesome! My suggestion for the next recon from the same epoch would be either Terry Grant, Carrie Manning - Tigerskin (Sivesgaards Back2Roots Remix) or Gad - Waves (Hiras Sevis Remix) or Josh Lasden feat Matyas Blanckaert - Love at Breakfast (Vocal Mix) .... to name a few.. Keep on guys, peace and love!
This is probably my favourite way of learning: looking how other people just do their stuff. However I'd like to ask about this layering... I actually don't know what haha. I supose you layered few synths on top of each other within the same scale? Or is it the same synth with different notes length? I've done something similar several times in my projects but the effects are really different, sometimes it sounds just right, sometimes it hurts your ears. So maybe there are some advices you could give about layering few melodies/instruments/time lengths? If yes, I'd love to hear, take care Oscrar. You're doing incredibly good job!
Thanks for your kind words! I'd recommend to think rather in terms of musical functions: Bass, pad, lead, and then ensure that the mix focus is on the right elements. At any given moment there are max 3 synths playing here, so no need to endlessly layer :)
THanks for this! Looks like you had a lot fun producing this, cool vibe!🙂 Vocoders are really fun. Would you dare next a more „sample based“ Artist like Bo Svendsen with „Twilight in Tankwa“? Best regards
GREAT choice of song, thank you! Wondering if a follow up video or reply is possible to explain 1) what sort of settings on the Juno 60 and 106 you used...wondering how to recreate on the JU-06. 2) Explain how you made the cool visuals...video synth? Thanks!
Heya :D 1) Once I had the notes, I flicked through presets until I got relatively close, then tweaked the controls to get it as exact as possible. The mixdown made a big difference too, to make it feel substantial and chunky. A lot of A/B testing! 2) The video effects are those built into Da Vinci Resolve. I can't recommend that programme enough :) never going back to Adobe Premiere after discovering that...
Really cool stuff! But I'm surprised you did so much work for a 6-7 min video! I'm sure most of us would like to see a more in-depth breakdown of the different synths, effects, etc.
Agreed :D I'm experimenting a bit between longform/shortform videos. I guess this one is more for entertainment purposes compared to many of my others. But don't worry, I'll keep mixing it up ;)

Awesome video, for next episode would be great if you destruct espetially the arangment of the track "Stoppage time" by "Guy Gerber"...cheers 🍻
Really nice deconstruction and she did an awesome job singing it as well! 🥂 It was fun to watch.
Hahaaaaa, glad you liked it! 💚🤗
Yeah, that one was insane, it really took me away😍😍 And with this outfit he looks like a real Gabberhead😂👌

Agreed, the mixdown is very clean and powerful in the original, hard to imitate!
@@OscarUnderdog Id love to get ur version of the song as in your re imagined version. Stuff that ud do differently
@@piposebastian6532 yeah we might do that actually, do a cover version where we take a few different artistic decisions :) the foundation is already there after all...
@@OscarUnderdog You got close though ;)
Having a Fairlight CMI
And with a jacket to match the vibes 😎 This is an ace episode my friend!
Cheers Will 😁🙏🖤
Stellar video! 💙

Great suggestions!
Omg!!! More synthwave music 🔥🤙👍👍
Thanks for the breakdown, it's such a great song. Although the bits about 'we took the chords and here's what the synths sound like' is kind of like 'How to draw an owl, step one, draw an owl' :)
Hahaha I agree and I apologise :) still experimenting with the balance of entertainment vs education!
Yeah but think of all the peeps beginning in production. They have no idea and this helps ;)
Yeah I have to agree, it would have been great to see you explain the notes used for the arps etc I think I have an idea but still new to it all (use the base note progression?)
👍👍👍 on the vocals

Yeah! Nice! Underdog makes really cool stuff :-)
Bravo Underdog !! 😸
Just wow!
thx for the vocoder tutorials. i watch attetivly all your videos.great job!!!!
Absolutely lush, love it, great vibes
Killer! 👍👍 Thank you so much! 🙌
Awesome! I'd bump the J's vocals up an octave though.
Great work! This is a good example of how the most simple chord progression can sound quite epic with right sounds.
top notch mate.
excellent track congratulations

Wow! This is amazing Oscar! Your sound replication skills are unparalleled. Loved the fun visuals and Juriji's vocals as well!
Awesome remake. NIghtcall is a little masterpiece. So simple, yet super effective. Well done!
Echt een feest weer deze video! Great job guys!
Hahahaha 😂🤘⚡
Good job 🎥 🎤
Legend!! Thanks Oskar! Amazing recreation!!
So nice to see this amazing track reconstructed! Well done!
Just amazing - congrats both of you.

Ahhh so glad to read that :) 💚
I ve watch 3 times and its really cool tutorial
I used to listen this song. Thank you for reminding me. Very good job!
WOW! Really motivating, Keep up the good job!
More reconstruction videos please!
Close to home with this one. Drive is a dope music its actually how I found the label I am on now IDIB.
That was amazing!!!
Very interesting, thnx!

Thanks for those kind words
This was so good, thank you!
Thanks for the support!
Pure fun I love this song a lot
This is SO amazing!
Amazing content as always! You deserve more subs!
Dig the jacket bro
Also really enjoyed this great vid again and really cool track hadn’t heard it before.
How did I miss this tutorial for so long.

This is sooooo good! 👏😍

You are one of the few people I can find that uses ableton in their song breakdowns
Great video!
Love to Juriji ❤️🌈 !
Excellent video as always :D I would like you to reconstruct the good old Hey Boy Hey Girl
can you please share with us the full track
Love this style of vid. Really entertaining! Plus it was interesting to see the other side of this angle we’ve been seeing all this time!

Fun Fact: Guy Manuel, the Golden Helmet guy from Daft Punk actually co produced this song.
NO WAY! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing.
@@OscarUnderdog no, man. Thank you for your videos! They're extremely helpful! Much love!
Juriji’s voice 🤤🤤🤤
This is awesome :)
Awesome video! Would loove to see a reconstruction of a Carpenter Brut track. Possibly Disco Zombi Italia
Henry Saiz hooked me to this song, and your interpretation really nailed it, love it!!
SSWEAR! I had a shell suit back in the day when you were just an amazing sparkle )
Absolutely loved this. One of my fav songs as well.
French people rules 🙌🏻
Kavinsky, Daft Punk, Air, Cassius, Sébastien Tellier, Justice, Breakbot, Arnaud Rebotini,
Black Devil Disco, Phoenix, Stardust, Alan Braxe… What Else?!
Fred Falke!
@@lerooleroo carrément! J’avais oublié!!!! Intro by Fred Falke & Alan Braxe ❤️
That was amazing! Loved all of it, video as well.. If I could make a suggestion for the next one - Regal - Overground would be ace!
Awesome, great job! Would love to see more of these deconstruction videos. „Subzero“ from Ben Klock with a focus on Mixing could be great! I always wondered how he does it…
Love that track :)
Excellent!! I’d love it if you showed more of the sound design on the sign wave. Great cover🤟👍
Hot stuff Oscar! Juriji is awesome!

Keep on guys, peace and love!
Nice threads.
nice dive into the song
mad jacket btw
Hahaha cheers
Awesome! I love the video filters as well. For another tempo, can you reconstruct No Good from Prodigy?
Fascinating!
If I may have a question, how much the time took you to archive this effect?

very good video! i dont normally comment, but this time i have to. very fun to watch
hey! you are the best! love your vibe!)
Cheers Roman 😁
She sings beautifully.
THanks for this! Looks like you had a lot fun producing this, cool vibe!🙂 Vocoders are really fun.
Would you dare next a more „sample based“ Artist like Bo Svendsen with „Twilight in Tankwa“?
Best regards
Ahhh, I really like Be Svendsen a lot, so clean, tight & groovy :)
@@OscarUnderdog Yea, me too. But not simple to mimic- his samples have a special organic charm, there's a bit of magic in that. And soo groovy, right!
Anna - Artha , what do you think? Especially the synth part, I think it’s clearly one of the best techno tracks in recent years!
Can you make a video about Lone or any of his production techniques?
GREAT choice of song, thank you! Wondering if a follow up video or reply is possible to explain 1) what sort of settings on the Juno 60 and 106 you used...wondering how to recreate on the JU-06. 2) Explain how you made the cool visuals...video synth? Thanks!

god u are fiiiine :O
Awesome video as always! But the real question today is: where can I get that jacket :O?
Time travel to the 90s 😁 or second hand stores in downtown Brussels...
The late 1980's or 1990's.. It's what we wore when we spun our little frames on lino in the street!
Kyle Lars the LImit, couple of years old but a monster of a track
The hacker fading away, would be cool if you can recreate that track
Goeie vibes, goeie video's. Pintje dabij!
Nice
Nice
Nice job again! What is the vhs like effect on your "music video" looks dope!
Da Vinci resolve has these effects built in! Was super fun to mess around with :)
Hey, great job!, thanks! But where is this snare sample taken from, please?..
Great video as always, Please consider doing norrland by Gidge or hazel and gold by Daniel Avery. Both are beautiful slower tracks
Can you make a video on how to minimal prog tech? Please there are not many videos out!!
I'd like to hear a breakdown of Lorn - Anvil
Lorn is so terrifyingly good 🤯😅 I'll work my way up to it...
Pls make a video about NikiStrefis Red Armor
You've got the jacket to go with the song.. soooo retro.. what's with the nails btw? Hehehe... nevetehless your videos rock..
Great reconstruction, but this video could have been 30 minutes!
Agreed :D I'm experimenting a bit between longform/shortform videos. I guess this one is more for entertainment purposes compared to many of my others. But don't worry, I'll keep mixing it up ;)
Great
"Emotional architecture of this song" Now beat that folks!! No wonder he has a beautiful model lined up.
Can we hear the full song ? 👍🙏
