about

Track 16: Keep The Dream Alive
Artist: Master Controller Featuring
Originally Composed: 2013

Clipping bassline and some slight arrangement issues aside, I still really quite like this song both as a song in of itself, and as a benchmark for where MCF started going; the hook is, of course, the sample of Gate Of Your Dreams (the version from NiGHTS: Journey Of Dreams specifically), but instead of just looping it and leaving it, originally elements like the chord progression and various melody lines are formed out and around the sample, there’s a couple of different sampled breaks in the song for variety as well as an entirely original beat, basslines written using a bass guitar sample carry large portions of the song, and overall the whole track carries a vibe that is laid back, yet upbeat and really happy sounding. I wanted to do a hip hop track with the Gate Of Your Dreams sample for ages, as it’s got something about it that just really works when paired with a slowjam beat, and actually sitting down to work with it was just a very fun, very pleasant experience that I would happily relive again somewhere down the line.
