gear used:
• synths and drum machines:
Yamaha DX7, Roland Juno-106, Roland Alpha Juno-1, E-MU ESI-2000, Roland TR-707
note:
• All synths and drum machines are sequenced by Ableton Live via Motu Midi Express 128 midi interface and recorded in Ableton Live through Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. Final mix is made using virtual fx in Ableton Live (EQ Eight, Simple Delay, Glue Compressor, Valhalla Vintage Verb, Valhall Room, Waves API 550, Waves CLA-2A Compressor, Waves CLA-76 Compressor). The final mastered wav file is provided by sound engineer Julien Lesueur (Online Sound Studio - Paris) using Manley Variable Mu Compressor / Limiter. You can easily recognize the musical influences of several 80s great producers (Pierluigi Giombini, Michael Cretu, Romano Musumarra) in this song :)

Were you a sequencer in a past life?
Technically one of the best Italo Tutorials I have seen. For me, the challenge remains coming up with a good catchy melody. 80's Italo was absolutely driven by good Melodies, and there are very few Italo Artists who can still thrill us with a good catchy Melody. Very Nice Video.
This hit arrives 34 years later... Epic song!
Later but never too late 😉
The dx7 and Juno working together is magical
5 days on & I am playing this a LOT! In the car & indoors, it's really good song! We need more songs like this please ❤
The TR-707, Juno 106 and DX7 was my exact rig back in the 80's. I loved it and wished I could have been able to tell the future back then. I never would have sold them. One of my biggest regrets.
Can you produce more music like this ? Please post new songs!!!! I love them
Italo disco the sound of 80's 😍
Respect from Italy
Questa... Questa... Questa è la musica che ci ha differenziato negli anni 80... Questa musica dovrebbero passare le radio italiane....
Omg!!! What a delight to hear this sound! Puts me in a happy mood and feel melancholic at the same time. The 80's have gone, but at least the music is kept alive by remarkable and clever compositions like this. Thanks Franck!
Thank you!
Have been returning here for years now. The song is outstanding. Masterpiece.
This is one of the best Italo Disco tracks that I've ever heard! So beautiful. The DX7 and Juno 106 always go hand in hand together.
Yes . On Depeche Mode we can hearing that ( 1980 songs )
Good Combination ! I had Korg M1 and Roland D50 - It was a Dream !
E pensare che questo sound negli anni 80 era l'occhiello di ogni discoteca... Anni meravigliosi di gioventù spensierate.. Di partite a calcetto al bar sotto casa di ritrovi in piazza comunale con vespe e ciao piaggio... Anni meravigliosi... Meravigliosi.... E questa musica ha immortalato questi ricordi come una vecchia fotografia riposta in un album... Spero il nostro paese possa ritornare ad una stabilità sia economica che etica.. E perché no..magari con questo sound 80...❤️Complimenti per la dimostrazione video!!.. È MAGIA questa!!!! 💕
Oh Goodness! I love Italo-Disco & the sound of Juno-106. It is crazy good.
Damn the Juno 106 got so crispy sounds
The alpha Juno is one magic weapon for the baseline.
Don’t forget the Chord function when you can layer notes/octaves for an even fatter bass.
So many layers! Ed Sheeran is just gasping for air…
Wow! True Ryan Paris / Gazebo style. Authentic and inspired just like the original. Way better than the modern Russian stuff that always seems to be a little off and not really showing the Italian spirit. Congratulations!
The sounds of 80'!!!! Yeeeeeeesssss! So good!!!! ;)
The sounds work together like the universe itself
Carson Hoy it’s glorious and cute at the same time . I adore it 🧸
All the classic Italo disco elements are here......Love the breakdown of all the sonic components -This is a magical trip back to around 1984/85 when I discovered italo ❤
Thank you!
I just swoon in this music. Love the 80s italo disco! Please make more such awesome music. 🙏🏻
So many different audio recordings man truly impressive
Sounds like "I LIKE CHOPIN" excellent
I am italian and really like the great 80 sound
One could only wish to hear Laura Branigans wonderful voice again. I love those Umberto Tozzi and Harold Faltermeyer style tracks big time!
Yes Laura Branigan❤
Excellent work on 80s 90s instruments! Back in early 90s I 've used to design samples and sounds for Ensoniq … Great felling, inspiring. After 30 years it's time for me to come back with Native Instruments, just to rejoin the 'synth' community … Keep it up, it is very nice!
Listening to this track makes me feel like I'm flying on the back of a luck dragon somewhere in the sky of a different planet in a different universe like in the Neverending Story. Please make more, maestro Franck Choppin. Thank you for this memorable and unforgettable piece!
if it wasn't made on this decade I couldn't tell if it was from the 80's.......Good Job....I bet this is making a huge comeback.
Fantastic, love it.... sounds like in the 80s in the Disco or car.....!
Oh lord , the Juno-106 is so good, so beautiful , so mysterious . It feels like is coming from heaven...
Absolutely stunning. Bravo.
Awesome... what a production! This is simply fantastic.
This is friggin amaaaaazing!!! Thankyou Franck for this beautiful music....takes me back.
Perfect 80s spirit with this amazing track. I love it.
I got shivers and was moved.
Heartfelt congratulations.
🇮🇹
Italo disco for ever
I can definitely feel the Giombini vibe and I love it! That bass sound you achieved on the Juno 1 is great.
Amazing, many precious details, good job !🎧🎹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the work of a genius. Awesome synth sounds. Bravo!
Great song.... it really takes me back to 1983...
This is so amazing, I am totally imagining an '80s martial arts movie training montage with this tune.
🙏☺️

beautiful.. love love 80s italo
You got my respect. Melody with a soul. Congrats.
Nice work on an overlooked genre. You get major props for having such well maintained classic boards. They look new!
Love this so much! I could even imagine singing on it even without having lyrics in mind. Really great sound reminiscing Gazebo and mid 80s italo
Everything sounds so clear and perfectly mixed. This is a winning combination of instruments.
Really good! Your arpeggio skills / timing is amazing.
Well made video, representing all its parts in detail without unnedeed speech, and then showin them in the end mixed together. I love it!
Just wonderful.... absolutely created the tune of the early to mid 80's ❤️
Genius! Love it. So many parts.
Been listening to this on repeat. So good.
Thank you, Franck. You're very skilled, love it!
Beautifully crafted, perfectly classic sounding. Italo Disco Forever.
Sounds soooo amazing. Very well done.
Hi FRANC was the best italo disco song of the last 5 years. For the first time I heard it I fell off my chair. I listened to half the night. Greetings from Poland. Waiting for the next killer
Juno 106, 707 & DX7 the perfect family
yeahhh :)
Absolutely loved it!!! Great video!!!
I'm so happy to find this!!
This man is a human sequencer! Seriously!
Fantastic movie and well composed song!
I have just discovered Italo Disco because of you and I love it!
so in love with this.
I frickin' love Italo-Disco. Such a pure uplifting music and always always with great melody!!
Thank you for this music video 💓
Less of the swearing my son😂
Magnificent track! Like it so much!
This is really inspiration to me, i decided to learn music theory for watching people like u playing those beautiful synthesizers making beautiful music. 🤩 i have one year practicing piano and i can't describe the feeling, the emotion i feel when i play chords, scales and arpeggios 🎹
Thanks for the video...✌️
It still Sounds very 1984, 1985, 1986 styles very Poppy and Catchy which I am very Addicted. A mix of Modern Talking and Gazebo :) Wondering Why we don't see much musicians nowsaday love this style and make it? Why Doesn't this music style come back on trends again?
Thank you 👍
This style and 80s Latin Freestyle... would love to hear those comeback a bit!
It is.. check Miami Nights 1984 e.g.
Oh my.. what a great.. stop.. i can't find words to describe amazingness of this craziest 80's producing performance. God Bless you man. Hope you keep going.
Fantastic job!
Thanks for your great work. Lots of tracks go into the mix !
Masterpiece. You nailed it. Just the perfect sound. Greetings from Italy!
Excellent! Reminds me of all Romano Mussumara songs.
This is just so very, very good, thanks for sharing with us synth music lovers...
