Dance with Me (Septimus Remix) by Adrian McCauley
As previously stated i went for a more simplistic sound using basic drums and instruments and limiting myself to several powerful base filters to create a 70's funk/groove sound. I know this was supposed to NOT have a piano... but the song needed something soft and a rhodes piano was the only sound I could find that suited this purpose.
I filtered the Rhodes piano through the Love Filter plugin for that gated warbling/flanging effect and basically looped a series of minor chords, with a variant inflection towards the end of the riff.
Loops used are (apart from vocals) the Slap Bass Guitar, and another guitar riff I edited (from a different source and unrelated to each other). I restructured the percussion and removed the loop (it was a template) and sequenced a new loop with jazz percussion instruments.
I layered a sweeping pad sound effect because the sound moved in a lithe and seductive manner, like clothes falling to the carpet, or sheets been pulled back, or lovers embracing. I added a new guitar sound effect for that 70's porn 'wah-wah-wah" sound, flanged it for a chorus effect and added delay and reverb, and I used this to accompany, off-bar, the 'wah-wah' effect.
I am quite proud of this song. I have never made any music like this before. I don't normally dabble in chill-house and as a rule, stay clear of groove or funk. Move over Jamaroquai - Septimus is in the house!
