Hi friends.

Here is a video about a Metalheadz song of mine, “Baretta”.

It was the first song of mine that Goldie picked. It came out on my Black Label EP on Metalheadz Platinum.

I’m running you through the song in Ableton Live, showing the sounds I used, talking about the song sections, sound choices, song structure choices, what makes a good Headz tune in my opinion, how this song happened – also why it got picked up at exactly the right time for me etc.

Hope this helps some Headz-minded musicmakers out there.

Nice, that was very insightful, thank you for doing this. If you're considering votes for the next, mine would defo be Paracosm. I wanna see what's in those effect chains

So much useful information about song structure, this is incredibly helpful.

Will do more similar stuff, especially for song structure help, as I see a lot of producers request that.

Yes please! I find myself stuck in loops fairly often. I eventually power through and get full songs done, but it’s my biggest struggle
