Conor Cook solely to EDM Sauce on Sad Bangers Vol.1 and “Breaking Me” – “This is a mission about collaborations greater than something. I’ve been writing songs with some nice musicians and mates over the past yr and am excited to start releasing music beneath Curtis Lowe. The songwriting occurred in quite a lot of classes in NYC and LA, however a lot of the manufacturing was finished alone in my condominium in Brooklyn. I drew a whole lot of the inspiration for the sonics of the mission from 90’s House / Chicago House music, married with trendy manufacturing components, and darker songwriting themes. Organic instrumental performances are an vital a part of these songs as nicely (there’s guitar or sax on each monitor on the EP), as are synths. A Juno 106, SH101, Prophet, and Moog are all within the combine and assist to provide the tracks character and weight. Breaking Me has all of the core components that this mission is about and the vocals from Naomi Wild felt actually particular proper from the beginning. Like most tracks I work on, seventy 5 p.c of the tune was written in a few hours, but it surely took a number of months of tinkering with preparations, sounds, and mixing to get all of it to actually work. I’m trying ahead to releasing much more music that seems like this in 2019.”
