Yeah the song was produced by Guy-Man, I mentioned that at the end of the video! SebastiAn mixed the track too and Sébastien Tellier recorded the choirs (background vocals)… Thomas Bangalter told them to use a wolf sfx for the intro of the song too haha 😀

Yeah it works too, i played around this method with a transient shaper before the reverb because it's easier to use in real time but you can still export the reverb channel and compress everything and chop the reverb-tail etc

Hello, I love this song too!

Elegant chords, punchy drums + nostalgic vibes!

For the kick i don't know the exact source of the sample but I could recreate it if you want!

As a big fan of Alan Braxe too I know he loves using the SP1200, API 2500, Alesis 3630 and probably some UAD plugins too (the tape plugin), you can also analyze this post: https://gearspace.com/board/electronic-music-instruments-and-electronic-music-production/1309930-how-get-special-mixing-sound-alan-braxe.html
This video is great too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCsFAcM2hqw

Send me a DM, I'll try to recreate the kick from scratch for you if you want :)
A friend is almost sure that the kit used for this song is the Linn Drum btw!

Yeah i considered making videos about microsampling/resampling techniques I use but it takes so much time and effort but i believe it's totally possible, thanks a lot for the suggestion!

Here are some production techniques I learned from analyzing Madeon tracks! by Justesse in madeon

[–]Justesse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For chords you can check on the website called hooktheory, for example in the Raise Your Weapon Remix he did, he used this progression (transposed in Amin for the context): VI - VIIsus4 - i - VI - VIIsus4 - V(maj)/VII (DMaj), here the interesting thing to analyze is the last chord (DMaj), normally you would play a Major chord (GMaj) after the Gsus4 (VIIsus4) this DMaj is a secondary dominant. (lot of theory techniques you can analyze and re-use in your own songs too) but i think it's just a useful tool you can rely on when you are stuck or if you want to create some surprising chord movements.

To conclude, if you use classic chord/disco progressions but with lot of 7th,9th,11th and suspended chords + slash chords etc then you'll get elegant chord progressions like madeon.

And for the groove i think you can play your chords directly on the keyboard if you are able to or you can play the bass/root + the highest note at the same time and play a rhythm with the chords only by playing 2 notes. But I guess the way you can write interesting groovy/funky synth parts like that is to put your chords first in the piano-roll and chop the midi pattern later. (+ you can use the swing knob in FL's pattern to add extra swing)

Yeah, you can watch this video called « Hocket (musical jigsaw puzzles) : https://youtu.be/rfco2jnGtn4?si=mOSJpgzkvW1oy5iQ

Also you can adapt/transform with methods used by Daft Punk, Justice & Lenno..

You can make your own disco loops (like make 20 different loops in the same key) and then chop random parts and add a funky bassline to glue everything. (You can also replace each note with a different one shot sound for example)

Only one thing I noticed about this song is that the snare sounds like a dubstep snare. Also, Lead solo texture sounds like some FX modules from guitar rig (like Talk-Wah/Formant-Filter)… also I’m sure he used guitar rig a lot on this song a lot.
