Real

There are those who listen to "electronic" music and there are those who don't. In the same sentiment, there are those who understand what a producer is and those who don't. So, when the former is speaking to the latter, there can be a bit of a gap in comprehending how a track like "One For the Trouble" is made; how it has, now in edited form, shifted emphasis from the artist behind the vocal, to the artist behind the production.I say this as a person from the former category -- I understand, and yet, with a track like "One For the Trouble" I'm struggling to hear where UK producer Real, aka Jack Boean, has interjected. Maybe it's not so much that as it is a surprise that Real dropped a hip-hop track, stepping well outside any assumptions I had of his usual bass-infused, deep house style. Hyper-focused-nerd-music-writer analysis aside, "One For the Trouble" is just great and actually, I've just now Googled the original track by A.D.O.R. -- I hear it now. What Real has done to this track has really brought out the old-school essence.Real's SoundCloud track description also mentions "Quincey Jones, Christine McVie, Elis Regina, K.J Sawka, Mel & Tim, Funkadelic, Mantronix, Dee Dee Sharp Gamble, TR-808 & Mellotron." I wish I could sound really cool and tell you how all that applies to "One For the Trouble," but I can only imagine that those references have something to do with the other samples he's used to compile this track.Anyway, enough about technique, let's just enjoy the tune. It's setting a perfect tone for my rainy Sunday in Detroit, but I bet it's perfectly suited for the feel-good vibes wherever you are.
