- In this video I condense down all the elements needed to write 80's funk and boogie music. From the music theory behind it, cultural influences, drums, bass, chords, leads, and more!
I'm using FL Studio, however any workstation will do. So if you use Ableton, Reason, Logic, Studio One, and so on there will be no issues following along.

Staccatissimo. Ayyyyy Ohhhhhhhh Cannolis!
I wouldn't mind you doing a super long video one day especially in genres like these. 80s Synth funk just has so much depth and feel to me, and is so easy to update and experiment with today.
I would like to but unfortunately its hard to get people to commit to watching it. Really hard to keep good viewer retention. :(
@@ElianaDAngelo but where did you learn all of this? I have some interesting musical ideas but i unfortunately dont know a whole lot of sound selection, chords, etc used in funk
@@ElianaDAngelo i would watch it!! I would actually love to watch it! :)
@@ElianaDAngelo NOO PLEASE COME BACK ME AND THE HOMIEZ WANNA WATCH IT!!!
Yes this tutorial was very good indeed. Would also love to see morez
Born in 1964 - this is my favourite music and im new in making music. you are really a gem - thank you, ELIANA from Cologne, Germany
I’ve played in bands during this era as a teen and you’re authentic in your production and choice of synths and drums. Great job! 👍
You are a liar.
This is some A-list stuff here. This is the sort of complete tutorial for this style I've been looking for, something in the style of Dabeull. You fucking rock! The song in the background puts the stank right on my face.
If only I could be as good as Dabeull. Top tier.
I really like how you play a clip of the song you're working on before even getting to the discussion. It's nice to have that idea of what you're working towards with each element discussed, going forward.
love the aesthetics of your music and the tutorials are so on point I wanna cry
also THE SYNTHS ARE SO GROOVY I WANNA [YOURT-SHIRT] THEM
I'm happy they have been that helpful! The shirt is from Adam Neeley's store if you want to buy it. :D
Someone makes 80's boogie funk this well I have to subscribe. Great content
Thanks! As far as other producers you might really like people like XL Middleton, E. Live, Nickeee B, Jay Diggs, and Dabuell!
@@ElianaDAngelo Franc Moody for more funky grooves
Really loving your tutorials
Clear, concise, no time wasting 🙏🏼
You explain stuff at just the right level - super handy, thank you
Thank you for this! I’ve grown to love this genre of music
those voices are killer. My hands never had performed those chord shapes physically thank you!
Love how you explain music theory in such an approachable way. And the staccatissimo too of course.
I really dig this kind of content. The content, audio/video quality, and editing are clear and to the point and I really appreciate the lack of clickbaity/youtuber-crap and the sincerity of it all.
I'd love content that goes more in depth to the music theroy or producing side of it, and I'm also interested in your take on DnB, though this is also great.
You forgot the lick t shirt. That stuff makes or breaks a video lol
@@Zer0Spinn THe lick shirt go hard
Currently working on a disco track for university and this helps soooo much! Thanks Eliana! You’re amazing!
This channel is basically a degree in production for free.
Unbelievable.
❤️
Sad that I grew up late 70s and all through the 80s and I never appreciated 80s Electro Funk Boogie style ..I love it even more now your tutorial on the style has lit a fire in me to produce this style...your doing an amazing job breaking it down, so up an coming producers like me can gain experience keep up the great work 🎹🎼
Glad it could inspire you. JDiggs is like the top Boogie guy right now as well as Nickee B
underrated channel! this is so great, thanks!
Random comment for the algorhythm. One of the best tutorial channels i've come across. Keep it up!
i really appreciate this. this is one of the only genres i've had trouble emulating and you helped me understand why. thanks a lot
Wow I cant believe I found this gem of a channel. Been looking for some really in depth, intuitive explanations as to ‘why’ these songs sound the way they do rather than an endless trove of “here’s a beat I made in an hour that kind of falls into *insert genre*” This song wasn’t made, it was COMPOSED. Much respect to your craft.
Thanks fam. 🙏 I had the same fustrations seeing halfassed videos out there.
Your music sounds awesome 👏🏽, great feel, thank you for sharing thy chops and wisdom.
This is definitely helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video and really go in depth explaining the mechanics of the 80´s Funk & Boogie🙏
Positively the best tutorial I've ever seen on this style. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Song sounds so good
you're an expert in this field, I'll continue watch your tutorials such a master experience imo, greetings from Mexico
So cool to see someone jamming along with loops until something sounds good ive been doing that for years
Love this presentation!!!
Im really into funk disco songs like and the beat goes on, no parking on the dance floor and play that funky music are huge inspirations to me, really appreciated your video, very in depth breakdown not that shallow tutorials we see out here
Thanks I really try to make something substantive.
This is a great tutorial. Please keep making more! And you don't know how much I appreciate that you used a pic of Kashif in the title screen.
i just love the way you explain stuff... so simple and straight forward .. you got my sub.
dang girl thank you. you are making things more clear
i dig ur musical preference. damn near every musical genre is a decendant of funk. really great material. please continue this series. you'd be surprised how many peers and audience members appreciate this.
Any time! I definitely will be going more into funk and similar stuff!
somehow the youtube found out I was trying to make this kind of style and suggested this video, what a lesson! thanks!
Amazing walktrough, I really enjoy your work. Keep it up!
Lol how does this chick not have more subs. Literally one of the only female producers on YT I've come across to date aside from BadSnacks
Yea I agree. Awesome channel. She gotta make more videos tho
The TH-cam game is hard! I would suggest sharing to your friends, liking, and subbing! Comments help a lot too.
You should take a closer look. She's a trans producer. Not a female producer.
@@lexruptor I'm going to let you figure out why that comment's a little weird on your own
@@lexruptor what are you talking about?
OMGGG you are my Synth Spirit Animal!!!!! I barely found YOU!!! Thnx!
Love the T-shirt and dig the video
Love it! Thousand of thanks.
very nice workflow very clear!
One of the more in depth videos I've seen on this topic, great explanations along the way and reasoning for the choices you've made! Would be nice to hear your take on the actual synths that you use as well, your sound is very authentic and I noticed some of your synths are from the Diva synth by U-he. Learning a lot from your videos, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words. Thats coming soon!
Loving this , to the point , great energy ! The song is groovy and funky ! :) Good job !
great track love it!!!!
That squelchy bass ❤️
This video is great and I actually would like to make a request on a concept you touched earlier here on the bass part and that's outlining a chord. It's something I honestly struggle with a lot. The idea of taking a chord progression and splitting up the notes to make a full song. I honestly wouldn't mind seeing a video on you taking a simple chord progression and dissecting how you outline them with the different instruments if that makes sense.
Your videos are the best how-to music tutorials I've seen when it comes to making and mixing music digitally. Thanks for making them.
i always come bacc to this...this is a smooth beat
Best soul funk production tutorials. Thank you!
Hi. I’m 2 years late find your crash course in boogie funk. By far the most useful, while being super insightful. Can’t thank you enough for sharing the simplicity and joy of making this genre of music. Bravo. - O
DAMN this beat ist straight fire!! Its spot on 80s funk! Just what i searched for, thank you
Thanks happy to help!
This was the exact video I needed
You're awesome young lady...keep the funk alive!!!
Stumbled across your videos and wow, thank you for dropping so many gems and staying true the scope instead of attempting to game an algorithm
best video IVE ever find on youtube
Super-informative. Thanks for posting!
This is content everyone is looking for
Very instructional, learned a lot. Thanks !
Holy Shit, so glad I found your channel! Same interest in music as you and your videos are awesome. I've been taking some of your tips and applying them to my music. Keep up the good work!
The production quality on your videos is excellent!
Best tutorial i've seen in a long time! I'd love to see what synths you use and how you make your leads/ basses etc.
Hey thanks! I plan on that very thing soon.
I wanna say I loved the video. Concise and to the point! I saw the notes on your shirt and thought "Wait. What does her shirt say" all I had to do is look at the first note and you got me. I swear the lick is the Jazz Rick Roll. You've got a new subscriber!
Very NICE! 80s Funk "boogie" is the best!
the space in between !
you're cool
dabudeedeeda budaaah ( this is the lick )
don't drink alone
Greetings from the creator of loop/sample libraries in that style. You're truly into that sound :)
best 80s funk tutorial by far
I love that “The lic” is on the shirt 😂 iykyk
Cool!
I really like synth sounds from the Sylvers and Dynasty playing on Shalamar, Whispers, Carrie Lucas, Evelyn King, ...
You're helping a lot...
watching your creative process is amazing
this is a treasure trove of information!! love the style from the music to the video and presentation, by far the best I found on this topic. #keeponkeepingon
Fantastic vid and tips as always, much appreciated, you really do deserve more viewers and recognition!
Just got into YUKIKA and rainbow note and now i wanna make more 80s adjacent music and this is perfect!! Tysm
"The two of you who are watching this video..."
I wonder who the other one is!
Thank you. I never did this before. It's charming.
Thank you for this tutorial. Love how you manage to break it down to a level that is easy to grasp but still mention all the little details that make it more nuanced. :)
One of the greatest genres of all time! Thanks for the info!
One of the most underrated TH-cam channels out there. Please keep up the awesome content! I suggest posting a 1 minute part of your tutorial of Instagram Reels or Tiktok, you can reach out to more audiences that way
Thanks and you right. I need to stop being lazy
She’s amazing 🤩
Earned yourself a sub here! Im actually trying to write in this style for some future tracks so this seriously helps out! I watched all of this and the funk bass lines cuz im a bit shit at writing bass in general haha. The tutorials so far are better than most ive come across to be honest and they are in the style I like. The tunes could definitely fit well in the synthwave scene i think. Do you have a bandcamp by chance cuz the tunes sound sick!
I discovered your channel today and it's amazing for 80s lovers, miss Eliana. Congratulations. +1 sub
Thank you very much for your great explanation regarding this style of music. The first tutorial that makes sense. Thanks for you time ☺️
This is one of the best most knowlegable tutorials I have ever seen
You’re such an inspiration
Amazing what you do 👍✌️😍That's exactly what I do at home- but you are the Leader! 😎😂
Funk/soul artists/groups started using drum machines around 1982-83. "Friction by Hot Chocolate", "Foreplay by Kwick", and "Shine On Me by One Way" are some examples.
Yep totally! Some nice examples too. 😎
This track is so fucking fire. Love how you explain too
so much skillz thanks 4 sharing !
I've learn so much thanks to this video! Thank you very much!
This is so so helpful cause i love 80s electro funk because ima dancer and i want to making popping music
thank you for being a great inspration. Became a fan and one of my fav composer/producer.
I'm vibing so hard to this video, these sounds, this aesthetic, the mangos I just bought, ahh I haven't fanboyed this hard since the last time I used the word fanboy!!
I love boogie funk and the new artists that incorporate this style (tuxedo, Chromeo) . I've always been intimidated in trying to make this music with my lack of piano playing ability and music theory knowledge but seeing your videos has given me more confidence to start working on this.
thank you for your content and your dog is awesome to ( always great having our furry little music mascots helping us out in the studio). had to give you a sub. thank you Eliana
God I literally heard your shirt in my mind haha
LOVE the tips and the video! Been deep diving on 80s lately and this was super helpful. You earned a new subscriber~~
That the type of funk i like 🤩😍
Great track.
2:51 So ingeniously but absolutely and wonderfully formulated! I had to laugh like that. That's exactly how it is, luckily I haven't got used to it. You're great, keep it up and a really nice video.
I adore this video.
Thank you so much.
I just wish the plugins and the drum kit were listed in the discription.
“Like the 2 of you that are watching and have listened to my music” 😂😂 alright I’m brainwashed, I’m checking out your music now
Love the video awesome like that kind of beats godbless
excellent placement of studio foam
Hi Eliana, I have watched quite a few of your videos now! Image Line really needs to reach out to you! You make some of the most the coolest, vibey-ist stuff I've heard in a while from an FL user. As much as I appreciate all the Boom Bap producers showing their chops on TH-cam, you deserve more attention for your taste, vibe and content. And helping us in a cohesive, detailed way!. Honestly. A lot of your stuff reminds me of earlier Calvin Harris when his songs were more funky and fun to me. Very melody & drums oriented with a cool bassline that just works. Subscribed
I can definitely get down to some boogie (I'm from cali) but it's not a genre I focus on making. Let me just say I really admire the way you broke this down and I've definitely picked up some production gems from this video. Subbed. Looking forward to more content from you!
fantastic video
This is really nice! Thank you for this well explained funky music tutorial! It’s really something that most producers and artist tend to skip. But in the nowadays music overall it’s coming back massively! Disco and funk are one of the few genres that never die! Greets from me! ~ //MANUAL//
Damn that's awesome once it's broken down. Makes me want to get back into making music!
Do it you wont
