I’m really excited to share my latest track! It’s an offering that dives into the euphoric, hands-in-the-air sound that defined the 90s house music I fell in love with while clubbing.
The Sound: A Trip Back to the 1994 Dancefloor
The 1990s were the years that shaped my love for house music, and for me, one instrument was always the centerpiece of that feeling: The Piano.
This new track, “The Keys of ’94,” is my honest homage to that soulful, energetic style. I set out to capture the vibe of those records that kept the dancefloors moving—the driving rhythm and that irresistible, classic piano riff. I tried to nail the essential House Music elements using a specific, focused palette:
- Uplifting Piano Riffs: The heart of the track features a bright, infectious piano sequence designed simply to make you feel good.
- Pure Rhythmic Drive: The groove is built on a solid four-on-the-floor kick, classic hi-hats, and the intricate energy of percussion, shakers, and tambourine. It’s all about the beat, the keys, and the swing!
- Focus on Structure: This time, I paid extra close attention to making sure the track flows well for a club environment. I focused on making the intros and exits clean and adding smooth breaks to help build tension—it’s the most structured arrangement I’ve finished so far.
🎧 Why This Track Means a Lot
I wanted to make a track that felt genuinely good to me, achieving the specific groove I remembered. While I’m still learning and refining, this track represents a big step forward in capturing that unforgettable 90s club sound, driven by pure rhythm and keys. I hope it brings back some great memories for you too!
I hope this track gives you a little piece of that big beat and soulful feeling!
