Oberheim DMX Essential 80s Disco (Electribe & Juno 106) - Harlem Nights

Link to my EP "Watch me Dance" on iTunes!: http://goo.gl/6MxFN

In this series, this time I tried to reproduce more elements of my fav tracks. For beats I used my Korg Electribe SX drum sampler again, now filled with classic Oberheim DMX and DX drummachine sounds. For drums only the ESX internal fx were used. No actual tracks were sampled except Blue Monday's choir sound; this was sampled from the original source track Uranium by Kraftwerk.

All tracks recreated by ear. All synth, bass & fx parts were programmed on my Roland Juno 106 synth (1984), and recorded with a Boss SE50 effect processor. In the originals different synths were used. All played and filmed live during recording, no MIDI sequencer was used.

Blue Monday / The Beach - New Order
The Walk - The Cure
Living on Video - Trans-X (note: this may have been TR-808 instead or combined)
I Feel for You - Chaka Khan
Makin' Music - Gary's Gang (LinnDrum conga + cowbell)
Look of Love - ABC
Happy Station - Fun Fun
Weekend - Class Action / Larry Levan
Body Talk - Imagination

Add &fmt=18 after URL for best quality sound!

Amazing! Simply amazing. I wish I could burn this to a DVD and play it non-stop on repeat :)

@FeelGood30 Thx! Follow me on Soundcloud com / harlem-nights-music

I have nooooo idea how you programmed the Juno 106 to get all those sounds. In particular, the bass on 'The Look of Love'. This is the exact bass sound I struggle making on the 106. Any quick advice for this bass patch?

@Wedge72696 Thx.. Best without 106 chorus, just use a PWM, subtle but quick LFO and balance sub wave to that, and tweak around with the filter.. Add some gated rev... In isolation it won't sound as Moog-y but I find often in the mix the 106 somehow just fits..

Great Work

Class. Stellar , bad ass x 100000. Best synth jam video i've ever seen. High Class & sick! Nice.

Einfach nur geil daumen hoch ;-)

LOTS AND LOTS OF SAWTOOTH WAVES AND MORE :)

If I had to guess, the hi hats on Living on Video were from an 808 (as you suggested). They have that hissy white noise sound to them.

amazing mix well done! :-)
