DIP IT LOW..

Plot

The artist Adonis is shooting a new video and dancers are being auditioned to star in it. The scene starts with a few dancers stretching and limbering up. Adonis walks in with his bodyguards and entourage. Scene cuts to seated panel of judges, comedy clip of eccentric but goofy dressed intern- like character who tries to convince one of the pretty girls he has a strong relationship with the star.

Scene cuts to the star coming out of the mens room or from a coffee run, walking past one of the studios he hears this music playing. He follows it, pushes open the door and the beat kicks in.

In the room is a dancer, dancing to his song – like she doesn’t notice him, but something in the way she dances lets him know she does. He watches her and start to sing to her, she takes the spotlight, its rightfully hers as her body shivers in the music, she paints pictures with her frame.

He calls out to her from the shadows trying to woo her with his voice.

Eventually they dance, eventually they touch. 

But everything is muted but yet passionate – like winding on the piano while he plays it or looks like hes playing it. More suggestive than anything, passionate but yet tasteful.

The video will be in black and white, shot in two locations – rubicon dance studio splott and face 11 bar in Cathays.

There is a cellar in the face 11 bar, which would be a very good backdrop for the scenes there. This is a scene from the cellar from another video.

"Lying in the Dark
Tears falling from your eyes...
So what he called you ugly
But he aint seen you smile."

We've all been in toxic relationships, we shouldnt have to beg someone to care, we shouldnt have to love someone whose every word and action makes you feel worthless - but we do.

This song speaks about meeting someone who is "damaged goods" and the uphill battle that is trying to get them to see their worth and value through your own eyes.

Its called Love For Free (L4F) and was Mixed and Mastered by one of the best Cardiffs own DJ Killer Tomato. I hope you listen and I hope you enjoy it.
Have a great weekend!!x

Mad Over You - TheChocl8 Mix

Its hard to explain the creative process, when a great deal of it is something divine and unexplainable.

Music is a gift, every form of it takes practise and as my man Hector says in "The Hunt for the Wilderpeople"  something else called The Knack.

The first time I heard Mad Over You...like REALLY heard it, was at my mates in London.

That's when i decided that I would try and understand the song because I liked the style and the pre-chorus bit "That girl for the corner etc etc" kept ringing in my ears - it was just different.

Then i discovered a dude called S 'Bling on Youtube had made an instrumental...

 I said IT IS FINISHED. 


So I started to practise it when i got home and the next day I pressed record.

And here we are..

When you listen to it you see I kept most of his style but i made minor changes in lyrics and the flow, and i really emphasized that pre-chorus because it was my favourite bit of the song.

I think I gave it a sweeter feel and injected more R&B melodies and harmonies. 
When listening to the original I couldn't believe how many harmony opportunities my bro missed - i tried to maximise them in my cover.

Overall i really enjoyed this and this song will no doubt go down as a classic, just simple and beautiful, which is as much a credit to the producer as it is to the artist.

So Runtown My Man well done, you're truly leading the pack right now.

But try not to sleep on your boy, end of 2017 I will also be a problem.
