I love how LOTS of artist start off by making bangers and radio/festival ready music but when they become financially secure they start making what they truly love, and its always funky sexy smooth music.
But Calvin went full circle, he started with music like this. I guess the trend is not just festival vs chill, but the fact that at around 2011 the sound of Bigroom House came around the corner and people (especially those who were only just feeling attracted by that style) wouldn't be impressed unless a piece of electronic had a massive drop. So that influenced even the electro-prog house genre and some trance stuff too, it was the signature of the sound of then (which is also why under every single EDM track of the time you'll find comments saying they wished that bigroom or 'the old artist x' came back with that specific sound). Now producers feel ok to make a chill tune too. Which is good, diversity is good for everyone. I'm kinda saying that it's not just the money-argument, 'cause Calvin has been the highest paid DJ since about 2012. After that year he never had to really worry anyway.
I saw his summer playlist, and he included great old-school soul and r&b, and my favorite songs from Sly and the Family Stone (If You Want Me To Stay), Prince (I Wanna Be Your Lover) and a 1972 hit from the Dramatics, which is one of my favorite soul songs of all time. I knew there was a reason his music spoke to me.
@@justinusjulius5007 I feel he doesn't get the appreciation from critics he deserves. His peers respect him and he can get virtually an artist to work with him, but he's still weirdly underrated. I love his deep love for soul music and how he's trying to do his own version of it.
Isn't it crazy the Calvin goes all in with analog insttuments and Skrillex goes crazy with digital oscillators and distortions and both are epic legends in producing.....
@@ProdIMMORTAL agreed. it’s all preference considering they both have money to blow. It’s also proof that there’s countless ways to create a unique amazing sound
I think the difference is skrillex makes or used to make most of his music on the road, on his laptop and then mix it in the box but in his studio. Also the sound he got known for isnt really achievable with analog synths unless you process them like hell in the box, which then loses the point of having them coming from an analog synth imo :)
Gotta say I miss his old style of music, but feel like this allows him to truly unfold his musical genius. Regardless, this is amazing in its own right
Not a big fan of his new stuff but he is and had always been an incredible producer, perfect mix between "classic", analog and numeric instruments, and mixing with artists from any kind of music 🔥 I miss so much the atmosphere from 18months and Motion, it was another time 😊
@RodriVlogs Actually didn't know they weren't critically aclaimed. I personally absolutely love both albums, but that's of course very subjective lol. Have to agree that his releases from Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 and forward, has given us a better idea of just how good he is and how much he can actually do. This is something I think his old style of music didn't allow him to do/explore so I'm very happy that he gets to do that now. And the guy really seems to enjoy as well which is just as important! Just hope we get to have som new "old stuff" in the future haha
@@fostinmusic Same dude! Those albums just were on aother level! Just like you I'm not the biggest fan of his newer stuff from a listening perspective. However, looking at it from a production standpoint I'm really impressed with this, and glad that he gets to express himself in a different way - sometimes you just have to switch things up (unfortunately, for the two of us haha). Just hope we will get some of those old vibes in the future!
He was using logic Pro X bro but only to track the instruments. He also would have used a mix of hardware and plugins to mix it. In the 80s they used a tape machine to track.
Calvin is an absolute music genius. Produced the song like it was the 80’s. His production has always been great, and him collaborating with The Weeknd was a great move
The textures and layers. People don't realize how much creativity goes into these productions. One if my favorite producers is Nile Rodgers and I'm always amazed at all the instrumentation- where each individual part is laid down one at a time to make a sonic creation. That's what he's doing here.
Creativity is a funny thing sometimes. I find that some days when creating music, the music just kinda speaks to me and tells me what to do with it, but at other times it can be difficult, but you just have to keep creating and not sit around waiting for inspiration
@@fucc773 24fps is not even close to what we humans perceive as real. We are capable of seeing hundreds of frames per second. Thus, filming in 60fps like in this video is closer to what we would see in real life than a 24fps video.
So many classic pieces of gear in one room I wonder how he's still getting some rest but he's truly a genius when it comes to composing we gotta admit that !

@Martijn Garrix But learning by online tutorials doesn't make you unique. Take maxmartin (the goat) for example, his production style is too unconventional to be taught in TH-cam videos. People who make the same sounding shit will never get anywhere. All the top pop producers are crazy unconventional and unique.
I like that it's just a video in his studio, it feels more personal.
*_Wholesome!_* 🤗🥰
More interresting than a Genius interview
Whenever someone i respect and admire in terms of the music making process gives us ANYTHING in the stuido behind the scenes it feels intimate. And personal.
imagine if he started making these kind of videos of every song he made...
Clearly thjat is the move yo - Crazy to see how he puts it together
I would love that!

Calvin by himself made better deconstructed than Genius with tons of people. Love that dog part.
No
FACTS!
nah, this was more show than tell what he did. Genius is better at actually explaining what was done.
@@jacobarmstrong5308 fax
lmao...huh?
That raw Weeknd clip sounds like he recorded himself on the phone and sent it to Calvin like "Yo Cal, what u think about that?"
He probably did
Lol
Isn't it crazy the Calvin goes all in with analog insttuments and Skrillex goes crazy with digital oscillators and distortions and both are epic legends in producing.....
It has a lot to do with the budget
@@victorpalace1466 no it doesn't ahahah skrillex has heaps of money, it just works better for his style often to be digital

Plz don't compare that kid with Calvin Harris. Calvin is a true artist
Calvin Harris and The Weeknd are perfect
RodriVlogs of course!
YASSSSS i agree
The weekend aint!
Indeed
Gesaffelstein and weeknd too
Those weeknd’s acapellas got me goosebumps.

@RodriVlogs Very well said! No matter what, his music is always top notch, regardless of genre. Have to give him a lot of respect for that!
What do you mean by his old style?
Those raw vocals tho 😍
yeah. The Weeknd's voice is butterly smooth.
@@sabtuxahadthey were with autotune on, if you listen closely
@@merynn5255 no shit. It's the studio version of course there would be a slight autotune. Go and look up his live performances like call out my name.
@@sabtuxahad no need to be rude, jeez
i was just saying it just in case😅😶
@@merynn5255 I mean you can't blame me. You already ruined the vibe with an obvious fact
Long ago i stumbled upon "Summer". I have liked most of his music since then. He's very talented.
Agreed, he's one of the few dj's that I like and admire his work.
Agree summer is a great song
Summer is pretty recent and he was full blowed up at that time, so u came pretty late
Same as you x) his music is my favourite and he is my favourite too
wdym stumbled upon, that stuff was constantly on the radio for an entire year lmao
"So Calvin, how many keyboards would you like in your studio?"
Calvin: "yes"
1:28 I like the way he's eating while producing...the level of determination 🔥
I thought that he produce the song using Logic Pro X ,fl studio...
But damn,he produced that song like its was in the 80's
He was using logic Pro X bro but only to track the instruments. He also would have used a mix of hardware and plugins to mix it. In the 80s they used a tape machine to track.
He was using logic. he's just recording this stuff in
He doesn't use fl studio. He used to work in Logic Pro....now jumped to Logic Pro X
fl studio lol
bruh he is using logic
0:34 - 0:35 is the exact moment this song was blessed as a hit 🙏🏻
I really like how Calvin Harris evolved his videos, his style, his music. 😊👏
His way
1:43 he summoned daft punk thru that thing
Hahaha foreal😂😂
I feel it coming
lmfao
@@OMrkithO ???? xD there is no 303 in i feel it comin
"that thing" changed the history of house music. its the roland tb-303
Calvin is an absolute music genius. Produced the song like it was the 80’s. His production has always been great, and him collaborating with The Weeknd was a great move
Please make more of those deconstructed video's! They are really helpful.
He learnt from all the comments on ‘slide’ and now it’s in landscape lol
What they said to him?
for real tho first time i saw the thumbnail of the slide deconstruction i thought it was someone who made it on snapchat or stuff
They said “film horizontally” and now look at him
WWWWOOOWWWW The weeknd + Calvin Harris = beautiful thing

You have no idea how much I love these videos, thank you so much!
insane vibes, def feel all of those vintage synths

So good to see you again Adam. You’re a genius.
Brilliant Calvin Harris. Great songs
Perfectly put together great song and production
The amount of talent that Calvin puts in this song is crazy! Love the song btw, play it on repeat.
He got lotta classic synths for the whole humanity
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.. best producer going.. he can literally make anything, any genre and it’s a hit. Legend.
How many keyboards do you need?
Calvin Harris: yes
Perfection.. xotwod, those unmixed Abel's voice is so damn smooth.
0:33 good boy, musical genius
Lo más grande Calvin Harris! Una banda completa en un solo hombre.
Oh my gosh Calvin Harris you are such a genius! Love you and and everything you do!
This guy is a legit "producer" along with The guy who film scored in The Black Panther.
Love seeing that TB 303 in action 😍 one of my favorite synthesizers. Great instrumental Calvin
Amo esta canción
Tiene una vibra tan chill, funk no lo sé
Una obra de arte tanto de Abel , como de Calvin
This is sooo awesome literally all of his sounds are organic
incredible music, incredible talent. I inspire this guy's career
This is just great stuff. Really makes you appreciate the music more.
2:18 I never knew this was a sample, I thought it was just backing/additional vocals from someone
same here
i thought it was the weeknds vocals chopped up lol
Hahah I really liked how you were chasing evil spirits away from your synths😅. You did amazing work on the song, I absolutely love it
I have listened to this song about one hundred times per day. What a gorgeous music! 💕
So many classic pieces of gear in one room I wonder how he's still getting some rest but he's truly a genius when it comes to composing we gotta admit that !
Hi Calvin, is this the chronological order you have recorded it? As always: Great work! I love your deconstructions. So inspiring ❤️
A genuine thank you for sharing this man.
I feel like the dog should have been included in the credits.
yes

It’s beautiful. I’ve looked at this for 5 hours now.
Man they really givin' away secrets here!! The real ones will take this as a free opportunity to learn something new! Bless up!!!
@Martijn Garrix Not this organically
@Martijn Garrix They teach you in a very boring and conventional way. Most top producers don't even produce that way.
@Martijn Garrix no it isn’t. This shows a thought process behind song building, especially for trained musicians
@Martijn Garrix But learning by online tutorials doesn't make you unique. Take maxmartin (the goat) for example, his production style is too unconventional to be taught in TH-cam videos. People who make the same sounding shit will never get anywhere. All the top pop producers are crazy unconventional and unique.
@Martijn Garrix ok sir…😂…
Calvin can you please do more of these???!?!?! So educational you have no idea
I like how he saged his synths
This is the most inspirational video I've seen in a while
that keyboard collection is insane, that’s my dream
I want to see him play the piano. Idk if he can read sheets, but he seems like a competent keyboardist.
A person who is dedicated patience to his work !
F legend to me 💪🏾
💖💖💖I am obsessed with this process and the song omg💖💖💖
That Studio is ridiculous 🔥🔥🔥
@01:10.. Jeezus. You got enough Synths there Calvin??? 😊. Another fantastic Creation. Great work!
so peng, one of the best collabs ever.
The vibe that studio is giving, especially with his dog in there 😍
This has just gave me goosebumps
The best video i've seen in this year!
THIS... IS... ART.....
Calvin Harris doing a masterclass in music production would be amazing 🤩
Finally he uploaded a music deconstruction video in landscape
Busting out the 303 acid bassline on a groovey ass track! Nice
This gives me Slide feat. Frank Ocean throwback. Please release Funk Wav Bounce Vol.2 ASAP
We need more of these! It's truly fascinating
Calvin es realmente increíble y fantástico!
Great Collection of synths!!!!
Legendary
thank you for making these
Me gusta esta colaboración, Calvin hizo un gran trabajo y con la voz de The Weeknd todo se complementa perfectamente 🖤
When you realize the amount of work that goes into his beats, yep, he deserves the praise.
I have had 1 number one after producing over 1000 songs. Calvin is my idol.. whatever he touches is gold atleast
What was the number one?
I’m in awe of his creative process 😩😩😩
This man has every analog keyboard in the arturia collection
This is really inspiring !
that was Deep
1:29 so clear ♡
We didn't knew we needed it
Wow, Calvin
Great work behind. Such a genius
Need a Calvin x Daft Punk collab ASAPPP!!!
Its so cool seeing the og stems of the vocalists in his songs. Like he turned this... into that. Woah👏👏👏
1:29 is my fav part
Nah 2:45
It's the most lucky visual process of a song creating in the studio! Thanks!!!
Nadie lo pidió pero todos lo necesitábamos
Was literally thinking about when this would come out last night - amazing!
Es maravilloso ver como pasa a paso se va formando un tema...
Lo máximo Calvin Harris
been listening a long time but for some reason I just now looked you up on TH-cam, Dude You Rock!!!!!
1:11 literally had me saying "OMFG, wow!!!"
Thanks bro for the knowledge
Adam Wiles if you read this, I want to tell you that you are amazing, amazing, beautiful and one of the best.
That was great. Even the dog got to help! Good boi😁
