Amelie Dreams

Neon Electrick Nights 06 now up on my SoundCloud and MixCloud. For my latest jam, I wanted to do something kind of specific and well, I kind of got something else. Read below for the full story.

They say you need to stay on top of the trends so I took to Spotify and listened to a whole bunch of the latest top Techno tracks. In particular, I listened to a bunch of tracks by Belgian DJ Amelie Lens.

So, decided that I would try to jam out a driving Techno track in her style. After playing around with my Novation Circuit a bit, I thought I had the tune to make it happen. So I went to recording my “Amelie Lens” inspired techno jam.

Then I listened to what I had just recorded and immediately was thinking that this doesn’t sound much like Amelie Lens. Reminds me more of Amelie the movie starring Audrey Tautou.

That famous shot of Audrey Tautou in the cinema from the movie, in particular, got stuck in my head when I listened to the track.

So, with that in mind, I decided to name this tune “Amelie Dreams” and voila! Neon Electrick Nights 06 was born.

If you’ve managed to read this whole story, I hope you will also check out the whole, now on SoundCloud and MixCloud. I’ll upload to YouTube soon.

Let me know what you think. Does it sound like Amelie Lens or remind you more of Amelie the movie?
