Dance Floor, a re-issue of the discontinued initial release from Dance Music Production.
Re-written, restructured and re-released, this course focuses on the methods and production techniques behind writing, engineering and producing a professional white label/french house record for club play. (French House relates to the genre of music where an 8 to 16 bar segment of another record is sampled and then manipulated into a dance track)
The 4-hour video course walks through, step by step, the entire construction and production sequence, from a blank sequencer to the final production of an example of French House.
The recording software was left running throughout the entire production and was later edited down to the most important points filling four hours for the DVD.
