Mixing Up Different Music and EDM Genres with New production Techniques and Retro 80’s vibes makes VHS Dreams one to watch out for in 2016.
I first came across your name after hearing yout fantastic track 'R.E.D.M'. I found it to be a cross between House with the chopped vocals, Future House with the baseline and Synthwave 80’s with the chords and synths.. Could you tell us how the track was made and your thought process that went into it?
I started this track upon a realization I had while studying some modern EDM tracks, that they were focused on the bassline instead of a traditional lead melody. In fact the very bass was also the lead melody. So after I came across the bass notes for the track I began building it centered around it. I wanted to revive the vibes of early-90's Stadium House music, the feeling you have when you're in a warehouse party circa 1993, washed over by green laser lights and surrounded by glow sticks and pink-haired girls.
How would you describe your sound?
As modern dance music heavily inspired from the past. I take everything associated with the extravagant music of the 80's and early 90's and merge it with a modern beat.
When did you first realise you had a passion for retro and 80’s sounding music?
I always loved 1980's music, but began making music like that only two years ago. The first tracks were written for my personal pleasure, having fun with my friends about how much retro-sounding I could go. At some point, and while I discovered that others were doing that kind of music too, I began taking it more seriously and worked on many tracks intensely up to the point Future 80's Records found me on Soundcloud. Then my career as a retro-oriented artist began.
