JAKARTA - Music lovers, be prepared to welcome two new singles that will hit the Indonesian electronic music stage. First, there is Samrei, a young producer who has just finished a song titled 'Show Me'. Second, Fortebeats which rearranges or remixes Jonas Blue's single hit, Perfect Stranger.
Cool, these two new works were both released by the Astralwerks Record based in New York, United States. As a result, Samrei and Fortebeats have a great opportunity so that their musical concoctions can be heard by all music lovers around the world.
The opportunity to collaborate and release a single under the auspices of a big world label like Astrakwerks does not come suddenly. This is a reward because Samrei came out as a 1st winner and Fortebeats became a remix winner at the Electronic Music Producer Contest (EMPC) 2022 which was initiated by Iceperience.id.
Samrei said, the process of making singles is very challenging because it sets a high standard. The reason is, this single project will be side by side with the works of international musicians who are under the auspices of the Astralwerks Record.
I made a pressure to myself because later this song will enter Astralwerks with their cool songs, so I have to be total in making this work. That's why I made the most of my work. Show Me You Miss Me highlighted the sound design part, besides that in terms of arrangement and composition, Disko, Funk and Synthewave elements were added with various fx modulations so that the songs and music would have a unique character, "explained Samrei in a statement received by the editor.
Samrei has his own impression when he has to work with a world record label like Astralwerks. The attitude of professionalism in producing creative ideas makes Samrei successful in working on this project.
"Astralwerks are very unique, the way they write songs, brainstorming or exchanging ideas, as well as the workflow they implement is very efficient. But in the midst of this serious work, Astrakwerks is also skilled at keeping our sessions and mood fun. They let us process creatively. This is what makes this collaboration a success," said Samrei again.
Meanwhile, Fortebeats, had a story of its own when he remixed Jonas Blue's hit single, Perfect Stranger, which boomed about 6 years ago. Not wanting to get caught up with the splendor of music in the second single from Jonas Blue's debut album, Fortebeats has grown more about the elements of the music house which is a signature and characteristic of its career on the electronic music stage.
This version of my version of Perfect Stranger is an interpretation that is no less exciting than the original version. Of course, the Fortebeats version mixes a touch of music house that has had an evolutionary track record for decades. I believe I can give my best," Fortebeats explained.
The experienced background of Fortebeats as a recording producer and film music composer has made him fond of many music genres, especially electronic music. This is where Fortebeats learns the audio production techniques used to remix music until now. Broadcasting Jonas Blue's songs is a challenge in itself. The reason is, for Fortebeats, Jonas Blue is a music producer with high production standards.
I'm looking for history and studying Jonas Blue's songwriting style to make it easier for me to direct the exploration of musical elements in this project. Blue writing style is very strong, catchy and unique. I really like the way Blue wrote her work, "Fortebeats tells the story.
