Smalltown Boy - Bronski Beat (cover by Munatix), On Yamaha DX7, Sequential Circuits Pro-One

- Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" is more than just a synthpop anthem - it's a powerful message wrapped in catchy, infectious melodies. That's why we had to do our own cover. Just a little more than a month ago, Bronski Beat celebrated the 40th anniversary of the song. For the synth heads among us; There is no other song that makes a LinnDrum snare smash harder in the mix. Figuring out the song showed us what the impact of a gated reverb on a snare drum can do. And Ricky got to practice his falsetto voice once more. We learned something! Check it out and let us know what you think!
This cover is available for streaming on streaming platforms.

the dude on the synths must have like 3 brains in his skull or so, to play different accords, melodies and rhythms with like 3 synthesizers all at ones is beyond... Very well done!
Just a medium IQ 😂. Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
Better than the original
Without the misuse of the word ‘like,’ would you be able to write?
I'm not musically smart so I didn't notice that till you mentioned it...amazing 🎉

Guaranteed this guy is not using auto tune ❤
For sure !
Do you Really believe that? along through all the song, definitely you can hear that all the track is edited, and those vocals are been processed too. All that you hear on YT and all the others platforms have been manipuleted on audio edition software.The lead vocal sounds Hard compressed and OBVIOUSLY a soft amount of Pitch correction app
@@marceumere thank you for your insight
@@marceumere Technically enhanced ,,however you want to describe it. Studio sound Apps and old fashioned mixing can do wonders for the imagination. The voice was a bit baby wailing tho.
He manages to sing off key even with that. :-))
But hey, a good rendition, isn't it?
Awesome job. Put me back on the dance floor 40 years ago like it was yesterday.
Thank you!
Me too...just fantastic tune and totally brilliant cover.
This must have been epic back in the day. I'm a bit too young to have this experience :(
Trust it was epic. The 1st time I I heard this, I played it 5hours during the night and so on the day after🙂
Absolutely brilliant guys!!❤️❤️
This cover version does justice to this 1980's hit.
The most beautiful and sad song ever written. You do it more than justice. Ricky's voice is just incredible and the arrangement is just superb.
Thanks for your nice feedback 🔥❤️😎🙏
Absolutely superb. What a voice! Outstanding performance on all the keyboards. 🙌
Thank you!
If I didn't know that this was a cover, I never would have guessed. It is so faithful to the original in every respect - the most note-perfect cover version I have ever heard of any song. Bravo.
Absolutely note and tone perfect, which begs the question...why? All props to their skills but I may as well just listen to the original. Do they have any originals? Now THAT would interest me more.
Hi Seamus, Terry, thank you for the compliments! People stop scrolling when they encounter a cover of a song they are familiar with. We hope this makes people also discover our own original Munatix tracks. They are here on UA-cam and also on Spotify, Apple Music... Thanks for listening!
WHAT A MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!......SO MUCH BETEER THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION ON BOTH SIDES .....MUSIC THAT TAKES FLIGHT AND A POINTED SHARP VOICE LIKE A SRIEK.....CAN'T HELP LISTENING TO IT EVERY DAY AND SEVERAL TIMES.....I PARTICULARY APPLAUDE THE SINGER
Thanks for your nice feedback!
Well, the original is fantastic and the real masterpiece, but having said that, this is a FANTASTIC cover of the song. Love the use of the vintage synths and the voice is spot on.
Great job !!!
Fabulous
Реально ГОРАЗДО ЛУЧШЕ, чем оригинал!!!!!! Однозначно получил больше удовольствия от прослушивания, чем от оригинала!!!!!! Спасибо огромное!!!!
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
Wonderful! Thanks for this wonderful authentic cover version. I love how you gave your own twist without turning the song upside down like many other cover version. Brilliant.
Thank you!
Excellent!! Haven't seen such great keyboard work since Michael Quattro
Sounds, performance and vocals (the hardest part to cover) are perfect. Congrats!!!
Thank you Jose!!!
Weird this song has been playing in a bank commercial and I couldn’t figure out what it was. And now you guys are playing it now. Very quantum and important track
Yes, entanglement can be strong 🤪😉
What bank was it?
😂@@JavierGuzman13
I think it was TD Bank @JavierGuzman13
@@CrownTO thank you
Fabulous - you guys are very talented. Only just discovered you via a Facebook reel and now finding out more. Love your music!
Thank you!
wow. you hit the high notes like Jimmy when he performed it live. Spot on. Can’t believe it was that long ago.
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
This is far the best cover of the song I've ever heard, and most likely I'll won't hear any better in the future as well.
Thanks for the nice comment 🔥❤️😎🙏
OH my Gosh it's so close or even better than the original release. Thanks Josh and Ricky for your work !!! your are the new "Belgium's got talent" that's sure
Thanks for your nice comment Christophe!
It’s giving me chills. Fantastic. I loved this song since day one, with fond memories of it in college in the late 80s. Breathtaking in its original form, and this is a spectacular tribute. Well done. // My god, the music in the 80s was just the best. Originality, power in simplicity…. Heartfelt stuff. Made by people who were really feeling things. As opposed to the current era, where ‘music’ is made by one guy on a laptop, drawing bars in a DAW, never even touching a musical instrument….
Чуваки фанаты синтезаторов.. Вещь классная, исполнение классное! Респект, уважуха!(хрен какой переводчик это все переведет)
Thank you!
Зашибись замутили вещь! Переводчик справится с переводом и поймут ли они смысл написанного? 😂
Wonderful song - used to dance to this back in the 80 's in NYC - brings back a lot of memories ♥️
Thank you!
Парни - вы красавчики! Молодцы! Отличная работа и великолепное исполнение этой песни! 👍
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
I'm here again. How does the keyboardist perform all of this? He is doing the work of how many people.
Well Well Played!
Totally awsome...this does justice to the original version.Well done.
Wow listening to this if you turn away from the screen you swear this is bronski beat😊
Like a private concert with the aged original - good job boys!
My fav song of all time😊. I've listened to it 1000s of times in 40 years, including all covers and remixes I can find. Found this on day 10 :) Not quite as good of a voice as Jimmy imo, but pretty good nonetheless.
Thank you Gaby!
"How many keyboards do you need guys?" "Yes"
You wouldn't get it; it's a keyboardist thing 😌
@@Nynja123TRT 😂👍
😂
You can comment , when YOU can play more than one keyboard at a time . 🍍🍍🍍
What a masterful performance and banger setup. Everything is so close to the original, it's an homage!
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
*je suis bluffé par la reprise Magnifique de Bronski Beat* 😲😲❤❤
Thank you!
Это просто оболденно,не хуже оригинала,ноги так и просятся танцевать.🤩👍
What a classic...another recommendation: Love is a shield
Thanks for the tip! Great song!
DAMN, This is great! Great vocals too, but i as a retired DJ, i do admire the gent on the keyboards/instruments, his mind must be going 100 miles per hour. It's so obvious that, he has a great talent and passion for music, kudos sir. DJ WACK "O"
A great keyboard player and a great singer.
I know how hard is singing in falsetto.
Amazing work. 👏👏
Thank you!
Well I couldn't quite understand at first, thought lip-synch. Great cover! Takes me back in time
Thanks for watching 🔥❤️😎🙏
Wow… i was so pleasantly surprised at the singers voice, amazing!
Fabulous cover! I discover this band on FB.
Thank you Pierre!
100% best cover i have ever heard
2024 and this song still around wow awesome jimmy ..great job guys
Great job you guys, you nailed it! Always been one of my top favorite songs since hearing it in the 80's as a kid. Seeing it become so popular again on TikTok is vindication for me supporting this song for so many years hahaha. The funny thing is the iconoclast in me now feels self conscious when I'm listening to it in my car, worried that someone might think I'm hopping on the TikTok trend lol.
Thank you Ryan!
Gänsehaut!!!🙏👌✌️🤩❤️🎹🎹🎵🎶💃🕺
Thank you!
Damn, y'all are killing it. The guy on the synths is awesome.
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
This is best cover ive ever heard, god job.
Thank you!

Speaking of crying.... I'm sobbing rn bc this cover is amazing!
Mon dieu que c’est grave excellent !!! C’est absolument génial !
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
To term this a 'cover' does you both an injustice - sounds so fresh and more emotion vocally than the studio version of the original - Great job guys 👍
Awesome love The Linn Drum classic ❤
Thank you!
And again they have pulled it off with yet another great cover.
Thank you John!!!
Que buenos sonidos y ritmos esta genial
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
Impresionante....Nivel Dios sin duda alguna mis queridos amigos....Dios los bendiga por tan maravillosa voz....Un gran abrazo desde Las Islas Canarias (España)....
I’d never have thought I’d be listening to this in 2024 when it was released. ‘Modern’ classic.
You made me feel this song in my soul, you are both very talented!
Thank you 🔥❤️😎🙏
