conspiracy theory!!! what if the person that runs this channel is trapped between two alternate realties and is just posting real 80s music from their dimension and their the artists are just the alter versions of our modern day artists.
jak jak Yeah, I wish someone had a TH-cam channel like this, except instead of 80s versions of modern songs, it’s 1910s or 20s versions of modern songs.
The population is so huge that one can barely extract a few of the hundreds or thousands of prodegies hidden in this world. Human resource, the resource with most potential.
Not me 7 years later still in a chokehold that this isn’t commercially available. This is better than the original and I’d have it on repeat on my Apple Music if I could.
After listening to this and other “80’s remixes” of songs, the big difference between them and these songs is that he puts in the work to actually create a whole new song out of them. He’s not just shoehorning vocal tracks into a 80’s sounding backing track. He’s actually rewriting the songs and letting them breathe. Beautiful and addicting.
the saxophone solo was played by the magnificent Dave Koz. All other musicians in this song are Peter Gabriel on guitar, Tony Banks on keyboard and synth, Marcus Miller on bass and Omar Hakim on drums. This Sledgehammer is supposed to be the work of Peter Gabriel in collaboration with the Harmony and Tronicbox in 1987.
I remember the rainy nights back in 80's New York, this used to play on the radio nearly every night as i was driving home from work. Loved their cameo in friends back in 95 as well.
Man it hasn't been the same since Camila Cabello split with the group in 1990, the group stay together until 1994. Cabello had a successful solo carrier in the 90's meanwhile some of the group members fell on hard times 0_Q.
I remember seeing them live in ‘89 when they were touring in Sweden for their ‘Worth It’ World Tour. I was grateful to get close seats. It was an amazing show.
Lauren and Normani look amazing with that hair! Camila's looks tragic, Dinah looks like a tv show host and Ally's looks like a yearbook photo lmao. This version is giving me fucking life tho! Fuck yeah 🤘🏽
Lauren looks fucked up. Camila looks the best and prettiest. Dinah actually fits this look. Ally does look like a yearbook photo. And Normani looks the most natural
I’ll never forget the first time I discovered tronicbox, this was by far one of the standout tunes. Back after 6 years to tell you I give this regular spins. Absolutely incredible progressions, drums on the ride in the pre-chorus. All get me going. That chorus progression drives me wild!!
I swear ... i'll convert all your works into mp3 and keep them till i die ... plz don't stop, u should open your patreon like somebody suggested to get earning, and these tracks are priceless
PLEASE COME BACK TRONICBOX!!!!!! I know it takes so much work, but I would Patreon you big style for regular content.... My musical ear, nay the whole world needs more...
I love this idea. Take a current tune and give it a 1980's makeover. Where could I find 60's, 70's and 90's makeovers. I know for the really retro stuff there is Postmodern Jukebox.
After listening to this again, I've come to the decision that pop songs now are too short. I miss those instrumental breaks man. I was spoiled by Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson and all the greats as a kid, and now I wish we could get some longer tracks with more displays of musicianship. I don't hate modern pop or anything, sometimes people just want something quick to get hype to, but damn I wish there was more stuff like this out there too
The bass line is so huge !!!!! Great job ! Tremendous melody with the sax at the end (magical moment!), it's a kind a great RNB track from end 80s with some funk influence and that remix made her voice like a smash hit came frome a girl band from eighties !
I cannot help it, but as a Whitney Houston fan, I can't help but gush about the black girl from the right. She is using Whitney's body with her face on it, Circa 1987's Whitney. Love it! fits her perfectly. I don't know her and I don't listen to them too. But another great 80's version! Kudos to you @tronicbox!
Lauren literally looks like she came straight out the 80s
Eamon O' Donnell that's exactly what I thought!
Eamon O' Donnell so does ally
She looks like Michelle Visage lol. Who sang in the 80's
Ethan Kast truuuue Michelle is queen
"Stop relying on that bodyguard Soundtrack"
I showed this to my grandma and she was like "I don't remember that band" 😂😂
moonlight bae 😂😂
moonlight bae hahaha
moonlight bae grandma is so cute❤️
😂 aww
WAHAHAHAH
Can we just appreciate that bassline for a minute? Ok thanks
That bassline is the reason I keep coming back to this.
tlaroche38 💯💯💯💯💯
@@Ayy_Doll_Fiddler Me too!!!
I appreciate it
My favorite part I was walking in a store yesterday listening to this and I felt like my walk was to the rhythm of that smooth bassline
They literally would be a perfect female 80s group
Right!!! Omg they'd be on top of the radio
@Carlos Juan Casajus you dont rly, its just pure endless black screen
In afterlife. I'll book my tickets. Who wants to join the concert with me?
Wilson Phillips much?
No doubt about it.
matty healy from the 1975 posted this and he’s a real one for that
i came here from his stories!!!!
Don't be overlooking the bass player, guys. That dude was out for blood
Bass was killing it for most of the song. :)
Out for blood 😂😂😂😂
That sax player is certainly very dangerous as well. 😮😰
also the lead guitars too
facts my man
This would've been an instant hit in the 80s.
Most definitely!
Definitely 1# on 1985 Billboard Hot 100
It would flop
flop harmony let's see if you can do any better sis
Hahaha I’m jamming to this in my car now lol
I have now decided I will have an 80's themed birthday party and your channel will be my playlist.
Hope you have an awesome party!
amazing. i'd love to go to this party haha
FranSlam PLEASE JUST INVITE ME
OMG! That's the best idea ever! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
FranSlam i'll make it no matter what send a mass invite 😂
Please come back, Tronicbox. We miss your amazing music!

conspiracy theory!!! what if the person that runs this channel is trapped between two alternate realties and is just posting real 80s music from their dimension and their the artists are just the alter versions of our modern day artists.

a real proof that the most talented producers are yet undiscovered..really amazing !

There will be more and more producers like this about to be discovered.
The population is so huge that one can barely extract a few of the hundreds or thousands of prodegies hidden in this world.

If Fifth Harmony could have an Eras Tour and have this version of Sledgehammer ft Raquelle (me) 🙃🥹💜
Bass line is SOLID as a rock !
Damn straight, brother. Kickass bassline is lit af!
Oh you beautiful♥
Yes, It sounds like Marcus Miller 😝

Yes!!! Seriously miss his content, it's so unique :(
True thats we just gotta take a moment to appreciate this guy
What a beautiful way to put it
Wow, what a comment 💙
I did not know many of the original songs and listening to these remix versions I thought they were really from the 80s
I saw them live back in '87.
They once supported Queen.
@Pastel Sparkles They held a truce after grudgingly admitting Queen's utter brilliance. And I think it was in every magazine....in 1986.
I remember I saw them once that year on some show and they competed against Duran Duran 😂😂😂
JEALOUS!!!
The same year Ariana Venti got ran over by Madonna 💔
Dude I'm still coming back to this one, 2024 gang
this version is ridiculously good
DUDE IF YOU EVER MAKE AN ALBUM OF Songs you turned into 80's I WOULD BUY IT. SERIOUSLY!!!
over 100+ customers waiting here..
TAKE MY MONEY BOY !!! CMON !!
Sameeeee
probably an issue getting the rights
SAME
Add it on spotify will ya?
as a harmonizer, I can say that the whole fandom thinks this is better than the original sledgehammer, and should've been on reflection
Lauren look like she came straight out the 80s
Corine Redding she still looks beautiful asf😊
So did Normani! The edits looks so real!
Corine Redding This is the only picture of Lauren that makes me not feel attracted to her 😂
Corine Redding *came bi 😂😂
Ally could’ve been a great Brat Pack extra
These record labels should hire you to do '80s remixes to current songs. I'd buy it!
Allen M. Quinn, totally agree☺️
The bass and the sax solo. Man
Marcus Miller and Dave Koz were in this song.
haha !!!!!
Oh yeah, the sax solo. That's what I"m talking about.
the saxophone solo was played by the magnificent Dave Koz. All other musicians in this song are Peter Gabriel on guitar, Tony Banks on keyboard and synth, Marcus Miller on bass and Omar Hakim on drums. This Sledgehammer is supposed to be the work of Peter Gabriel in collaboration with the Harmony and Tronicbox in 1987.
Oh Great !♥♥♥
@@aufiyahafizh3224 LOL!
@@aufiyahafizh3224 the song came out from Peter Gabriel album So back in August 1987
This sounds like an 80s sitcom opening theme
Gray hey RIGHT!
Especially with the saxophone.
night court vibes 🌚
Big smile on my face when that sax comes in.
mcna I screamed. Legit. Lol
mcna when ?!
oh yeah. it's Dave Koz. he was 24 back in 1987 when this song was released.
these ladies would kill the 80s
They'd have to go up against Exposé. Check out Point of No Return.
BananaRama reborn!
@@oneaburns And Madonna to.
as far as im concerned, this IS the original!
Facts
I don't even want to try to listen the original, this is to perfect !! :)
I kinda like the original. Lazy songwriting and producing but kinda catchy. This version is on a whole other level.
It's Over 9000! :O
Ain't that the truth. :P
original song sucks but this is pure art, 80's style should come again :s
What do you mean? This IS the original!
That bassline is pure gold.
I was in the mall this weekend and heard Sledgehammer but was so confused because I'm so used to Tronicbox's version.
Normani and Lauren actually pull those hair off. Good work though sounds amazing
Kay863: I was going to say the exact same thing lol
And camila
At first I thought Lauren looked kinda pissed...
and she still does... a bit.
Your'e a fucking legend man. Just curious, are you old enough to have been around 80's music when it was out? You've nailed all the sounds.
IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY IDK WHY
timid elle ikr
Camila cabello makes everyone happy
goosebumps happy!
I remember the rainy nights back in 80's New York, this used to play on the radio nearly every night as i was driving home from work.
Loved their cameo in friends back in 95 as well.
dude I bet fifth harmony and Camila would love this
Sunshine Hernandez Camilla and Fifth Harmony? Is Camilla not a part of Fifth Harmony anymore? Fourth Harmony?
Sunshine Hernandez ok. I just found out. That sucks :(
Iron Bruhh I know dude
I'm so heartbroken but Ima still support them

THAT SAX SOLO!!! Bitch better believe I got the fuck down to that shit.
James Newman lmao 😂😂😂
lmao same

I don't have a reason, that's just what was going through my mind at the moment.
James Newman Ok cool
Man it hasn't been the same since Camila Cabello split with the group in 1990, the group stay together until 1994. Cabello had a successful solo carrier in the 90's meanwhile some of the group members fell on hard times 0_Q.
Toku Super Hero Games and More with Sentai22 OMG!!! That was epic man!!! !ailed it!
They released Sledgehammer in 1987, to heavy rotation on MTV continuing into 1992
normani stopped doing drugs though. she has an album out. you should check it out.
Remember last year when they had a reunion? Wow my heart
Lauren was busted for weed not to long ago, smh hard times
This is legit, like... WAY better than the actual song...
I'm happy im not the only one this version is way way better
That group announced a hiatus in 1988 and never come back again.
That was when Camila Cabello had done her debut album back in 1988. They reunited back in early 1989. The group disbanded in late 1994.
Demetrius Scott so sad about lauren’s passing. she will be missed.
Lol you mean 1998?

i checked just to satisfy my curiosity and yeah......this rendition casual slaps the original

Nah I like the original but hey everyone has his own thing
Yeeessssssss! Man, and you put some saxxy sax into it? Keep on my man, keep on!
The pics took longer than the song... but thank you! Glad you like it!
TRONICBOX Quick question, are the bass lines produced with a guitar or synthesizer, because either way it's mad funky.
BEST CHANNEL ON YTTTTTT
+Steve Ross top seceret
bung holeo I think the question got answered, he does play bass. I kinda figured he did. Man, what a beast.
Thank you for your service! 🙏🏾 I come back to this masterpiece every now and then. Like you have the mind of a master thank you bookie💓💓💓💓💓💓
That sax and the guitar at the end... pure mind and soul ecstasy!!!!
Dave Koz ft Peter Gabriel.
That bass line is like a sledgehammer
It's amazing how that 80s vibe gives the songs different feeling,more innocent,more fun,more relaxing....
Best era ever

The bass on this song is top notch.

the original version can't hold a candle to this
@Pennsylvania Rick got me there
Slap bass makes anything way more catchy
This whole sound is so groovy. If I could choose an aesthetic, it'd be this song.

It's baffling to me that these songs sound this much better through the lens of 80s music.
