All of the perfection of digital signal processing these days, and what makes the track sound 'nice' is the noise, distortion, reduced dynamic range and saturation from an analogue tape recording.
Same with photography, trying to recreate that analogue feel with filters and such. I’ve a £3,500 Sony camera which I put a filter on the front of the lens to stop it being as sharp and have that film look 😂
Hi. Chicago House Head here. I have danced to this so many time. And your channel with this track came up in the algorithm because I was listening to t he original. Your breakdown was fun. And like you I prefer the vocal version. And you're 100% correct in that the tape sound makes the biggest difference! I'm not into this producing thing but thought I'd give it a watch. We sometimes get over protective, us old school folks, and I wanted to make sure it was being represented correctly. LOL Much respect! I did remember that in the U.K. House took off big time back in the 80's. It's so wonderful to see it still alive in some form across the pond. Cheers!
Such an amazing track, some of the most incredible moments in my life were spent dancing to this, it evokes memories of my late brother and I just grinning at eachother lost in the sound :( A melancholy tune for me now, I love, it brings me joy mixed with with a little sadness, amazing track.
I've tried remaking this several times. One of the problems I initially had is that several of the releases (and TH-cam versions) are "out of tune", as they appear to have been sped up. I think Larry played it in A minor, but the master was varispeeded up so the released version is halfway between A and A sharp. So whenever I tried to play along to the reference track, mine always seemed too "dull" and off key. Larry's drums are also about 50 cents sharper than typical 909 samples which makes them sound a bit more cutting.
A classic. Thanks for breaking this down. The honest simplicity of the time makes the track a tune, the basic technology and the tapes give the tune some style and signature but it’s those simple chords that give it it’s charming almost sorrowful Detroit beauty. It’s the man as much as his machines.
Undoubtedly one of the proper classics of house music ,I’m a absolutely a old house/ techno head .The simplicity of house music it what makes it so good it’s total grooves ,love your recreation’s of some of the tracks you choose I feel like your looking through my record collection and pulling out the classics…..maybe your get to Break For Love by Raze,Strings Of Life by Derek May or go on a few years to Energy Flash by Joey Beltram.
Each time you played a new part I got them goosebumps all over again, this track will be played at my funeral on the way in 💪 Roy Ayers Everybody loves the sunshine on the way out ❤️🏆
This is my funeral music. This and High on Hope (long hot summer mix) by Microglobe. After the wacky intro bit when the nice cloud choir bit comes in of course :)
As a 51 year old ex raver from back in the day I love what you do, What a great recreation… there are just so many tracks I would love you to cover I can’t wait to see what unfolds.. here’s a few - voodoo ray , hallucinogen, Orange Theme, Energy Flash, French Kiss, Age of Love, Your love Prodigy, I could go on and on and on ❤❤
@@awkwardtom you’re right 😀 life changing times for many of us back then that those crazy memories and feelings we will take to the grave. naughty naughty very naughty 😂😂
i had the crowd pumping way back and threw this on. the resident DJ almost ripped it off the 1200s. not fast enough, he says. it turned out ok. it was fast enough.
Its simple and basic something a beginner would write who has spiritual emotions..and good ears for drums..I started making tracks like this in mid eighties and have a few good ones..cheers to Larry's vibe
I really know my House Music and lived it all from the beginnings and must say, this all time favourite House tune! Great video to get an understanding on how it was made. This song has SOUL!!
That was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING mate! I'm going to be a supporter pretty damn, soon, I found this track by accident just scrolling, I knew the track from my rave days, and to see you break it down so well, deconstruct it, its truly wonderful! That "tape" bit is so class, lol
Very cool episode. . Funnily enough I've recently dug up some old gear and been dumping DAW tracks to my Fostex R8 tape machine - well worth the time, and sounds GREAT .. Love your show - best on TH-cam. The Russian Dude is also worth a watch in 2022. ..
Yeah this track changed everything for me. Working as a kid on Romford Market, East London, this track kicking out from the record stall. I didn’t just hear it, I FELT It ! Acciiiiiiiiidddd 😊
brilliant. id love to seem more of these classic rave era ones but possibly going deeper into the rabbit hole as it were. when people mention "classic house" you always get the same tracks that appear on compilations but rarely mentioned are the tracks that reall glued those dj sets together back in the day that dont get much credit. it would also be cool to see a hole thread of producer specific breakdowns like kevin saundersons work and for a uk twist how about baby ford.? edit: also how about new fast automatic daffodils "big" jon dasilva mix
Should have commented when you did Little Fluffy Clouds, but seeing you re create these old classics are just such a huge treat! You got a new subscriber for sure!
Great music deconstructions of classic electronic music! I am doing something similar but for other kind of music, but is always interesting to see other producers nailing the original records.
Please do something from Yello's second album Claro Que Si. Daily Disco would be so interesting to see broken down. Loving this series so much. Brilliant 🙂
I learned a lot here, thanks for the quality upload. And a special thanks for expanding my vocabulary with 'nicefies' I am going to start using it immediately ;-)
Thanks for doing this for us! I followed along with community-made Reaktor ensembles "Ronald" Juno-60 and Tape Mate. Very interesting! It's amazing how much of this track's DNA is still heard in house music today.
YES! This track hit me hard back in the day, and still hits me now after hearing it countless times. Thanks for doing this reconstruction, it was always such a mystery to me back then how these were made. Instant subscribe!
Another great remake, Gyu. Always so detailed, accurate and entertaining. I have to admit, I get a tad excited when I see you've uploaded a new one. A suggestion for one of your future ones: "Andronicus - Make You Whole". I'd imagine it's fairly straightforward, but would love to see you do it.
Although Beyonce used a traditional House beat with deep vocals, this beat would've been betterfor "Break My Soul" with the second verse played at after the crowd cheering. Her vocals singing the chorus, IMO.
I met this masterpiece thanks to GTA San Andreas, one of the radios called SF-UR (San Fierro [Fictional city of the game based on San Francisco] Underground Radio), a radio FULL of underground electronic music from the 80s and 90s, including this absolute banger
When the 'bass drum' solos, most of the time it's just the tom. The seemingly random rimshot sections add a huge amount to that sense of organic change.
Great video thanks ! The first chord is 100% A minor 7th add 9th. It’s a common “cool” chord shape. A in the bass left hand , right hand minor 7 G, 9th B , C flat 3rd, E 5th .
I'm pretty sure the low 'A' isn't played so the progression would be CMaj7 / FMaj7 / Emin7 - but as you have said, the 1st chord ( CMaj7 ) is in 2nd inversion and played as G/B/C/E - it's a pretty common progression and if you play keyboard, it makes sense as the fingers ( no pun intended ) have little work to do. Great vids btw @GyuBeats. Subbed. :)
All these years I thought it was a Jupiter 8! Thankyou you Sir! Larry Heard Aka Mr. Fingers is one of our Godfathers of House music where I grew up listening and dancing to the music of the group Fingers Incorporated along with Robert Owens, He is without a doubt, one of the finest musicians and songwriters of his generation, to give you a glimpse of his Art, check out his amazing album “Introduction” where he shows incredible versatility the warmth of his voice is organic
Interesting, thanks. For me it would be even more interesting to see & hear it done on an actual physical Juno synthesiser & 909 drum machine. So, if anyone has done such a thing, please reply with a link to it. I'm very curious! 🙂
The tape is brilliant. It homogenizes the sound and somewhat gates a lot of the frequencies. - And it _actually_ made it sound like the original. Only after that step did it sound right.

@@mrdrgonzo Very true. I started off with VSCO film presets years ago. Spent a fortune making my state of the art camera look old!
Throw in the recycled vinyl for low cost pressing and the whole thing sounded like it was made years before it was
@@PaulChapman1bz or you can bitcrush
@@gimmegamma4849 There are no free lunches.
This song, one word: _sublime._ Grown adult and this tune touches every emotion from childlike joy to wanna bawl out cryin'.
FACTS🙌🏾
Probably the greatest track ever made for me! So ahead of its time!
Its pure bliss even still today. A masterpiece.
I love it, but I like Mystery Of Love even more
I loved and still love these kinds of tracks where it’s all just loops and the art is in the sounds, simplicity and mix. It’s a whole vibe.

Now this is how you create a classic deep house track! Sounds fresh!

I remember a older mate of mind dropping that track at his appt after a weekend of partying and it totally melted me

Anyone that prefers the vocal version doesn’t really understand the beauty of this track.
You may be right

Yes Orange Theme - Cygnus X, one of my all time faves, absolute killer track 🙂
Keep on raving even beyond your 50's
Massive respect to you for that tutorial that's such a classic .
Probably one of the most important dance tracks in House Music history. Deep House at its finest.
Mister! Mister! Mister! You're taking me back to my teens, in Trinidad and Tobago! Radio 95.1 FM, on a Saturday morning! Thank you!!!
Logic - Final Frontier
Chesus - Newark
Mr Fingers really inspired some heavy hitters!
Remember the female vocal bootleg? Think she sang “nation to nation, feeling so good. “
Larry heard is one of the best.
Thanks for the video!
Larry was a true master...and this track will be something that all generations who appreciate music will listen to throughout time. Endless
An absolute classic, it can’t be overstated. Well done!
Wow! This has to be one of the best recreations of a classic House track I’ve ever seen and heard.
Well done man 👏👏
Wow, thanks!
i had the crowd pumping way back and threw this on. the resident DJ almost ripped it off the 1200s. not fast enough, he says. it turned out ok. it was fast enough.
One the best records ever made
Nailed it, well and truly nailed it. The peak of a mis-spent youth.
I was an Hip Hop head back when this was out, I loved this track!
Hip-hop was my first love music wise :)

Absolutely love and respect that you did this track .
one of my favourite ever tracks ! Really enjoyed this and its brilliant simplicity , nice one
Incredible breakdown of this iconic snapshot of my youth ❤
I bought 'The Jacksons Live' LP years ago, as I was listening I heard 'Can You Feel It!!!' blast out of the speakers. I couldn't believe it!
From the time I heard Can you feel it back in the late 1980's, I bought it right away!
Very nice reproduction! I love this song and you're an amazing producer. Thanks for sharing.
I was 16 when I first heard CYFI. Still listening to it. One of my favourites
This track is eternal
Very cool episode. . Funnily enough I've recently dug up some old gear and been dumping DAW tracks to my Fostex R8 tape machine - well worth the time, and sounds GREAT .. Love your show - best on TH-cam. The Russian Dude is also worth a watch in 2022. ..
Yep I agree the ride is so prominent but wouldn’t be the same without it. Epic job on an epic track….another one, thanks mate 😊
Amazing tune. What a classic. Thanks for the breakdown.
Yeah this track changed everything for me. Working as a kid on Romford Market, East London, this track kicking out from the record stall. I didn’t just hear it, I FELT It ! Acciiiiiiiiidddd 😊
hi and thank you so much for recreating my all time favourite house track.
absolutely nailed it.
kind regards.
Your recreation sounds so original! Great tutorial, thank you :)
It’s in my playlist as of now I rock it daily at work 2022
The A/B comparisons at around 8 minutes was very telling. Good work.
TR 909 is staple of House, Techno, Trance and rave.
All these years, now I know where it came from & have just listened to Jackson 5 1981 tour live

Please do something from Yello's second album Claro Que Si. Daily Disco would be so interesting to see broken down. Loving this series so much. Brilliant 🙂
Amazing how simple the synth sounds are
Yep!
Absolute genius track. Thanks for the vid. I prefer the no vocals original. Just following those perfect changes as things come and go. Love it
That Satin plug-in is nuts! I’m gonna have to buy me a copy of that. Great video by the way

Yeah it really does, I said it was subtle but I think I misspoke
still remember Tony Humphries playing this to open his show at times on 98.7 kiss fm. classic track
Yes, instant classic once tony introduced this... remember him playing this with snippets of rocky and bowinkel...
I swear to God I was listening to this yesterday and wanted to suggest it to you.
Thanks Gyu, just used that Choral tip on a similar Bass line I have been working on and it punched me in the face! 😆 Cheers!
Great!
Just think how amazing the tune sounded in 88 for the first time in a club
It's all about the feel of that track ✊
Didn't see this one coming! Love it!
YES! This track hit me hard back in the day, and still hits me now after hearing it countless times. Thanks for doing this reconstruction, it was always such a mystery to me back then how these were made. Instant subscribe!
