How To Make
How To Make Classic Balearic Trance with Phil Johnston and Chris Agnelli
Course description
Kicking things off in style for our brand new Classic Balearic Trance Takeover event is none other than our very own Phil Johnston and Chris Agnelli!
In this epic new How To Make course, Phil and Chris build a new track from scratch, completely unplanned, and restricting themselves as much as possible to how it was 'back in the day'.
This is a different style of course, as it's a collaboration where ideas bounce back and forth, trial and error are explored, and plenty of discussion takes place about the differences between producing in the 90s and today.
We begin with a look at some of the defining classics and their simple yet incredibly effective chord structures, before Phil and Chris set about capturing the essence of that era with trance plucks, arps, drums, percussion, arrangements, and everything in between.
This is a journey you'll definitely want to witness, so check it out!
But that's not all...
To celebrate this event, we're hosting a brand new Remix Competition where you can use your newfound skills and make your very own version of this track with some incredible and exclusive prizes up for grabs!
