DJ Boring reveals the story behind his YouTube smash 'Winona'

[@Chinaski1]

Hoping that Winona one day hear this song

[@directordeanscenes6367]

Let's just hope her agent doesn't. Because worst case scenario They can just go back when that aired, see how many people viewed it, see how much revenue the episode made, contact DJ Boring and inform him of his ©️ infringement against a powerful 3 letter network, sue him for his said action and Winona just be like: I used to listen to that stuff in the 90's and now it's just repetitive to me. Oh BTW thanks for letting me have all the rights to that song and your YT channel, it's like I made a hit and have your whole fan base without walking in a studio. I mean think about it that would be tragic AF He's metaphorically one hand standing on the Burj Khalifa and somehow retaining excellent balance.

[@directordeanscenes6367]

I'd honestly RETIRE after all that

[@Techo536]

This song gives me goosebumps every time

[@sevvvs]

do more like these FACT

[@Sim-po1mc]

Who doesnt have a friend like this? This guy is something... keep doing this deep electro music

[@1Anonymu_S]

I do not have friend.

[@Soundsbadbro]

[@TheBloggme]

Its house brah

[@macboogieland2897]

amazing how even in the underground 1 song can start a career! still, it's important as producers to not try to make that '1 song', but rather just keep making.. this mindset ruined my creativity for years

[@ZacharyAghaizu]

Thanks for that warning

[@spiritanimal7516]

Take a break and try to improve your next song, that's what I do and I've gotten a lot better.

[@AhmedAli-rg3hp]

What was your song? Or if you’re trying to move away from it, could you share your SoundCloud page or a newer song?

[@htimelines1089]

Yeah, set your goals realistically. I started uploading songs to sc 3 months ago and want to hit 100 followers in a year. Already got around 40, so I'm pretty happy.

[@caiocesarsl666]

[@penguin0075]

Modest guy, very nice chap. Great record.

[@sergiosolis2688]

So grateful for this song, hits deep in the night

[@Keelz7196]

We need a Winona reaction listening to Winona!

[@lloydthesage1164]

Yes

[@javierperzabal8420]

Lo-Fi dad

[@filcondrat]

[@lightsleeper-music]

What's about Ross from friends?

[@filcondrat]

One of apostles

[@javierperzabal8420]

DJ Windows 7 please

[@user-su9pg1jo4x]

come on! stop hyping this shit please! This is really just the musical equivalent of using a retro filter on a photograph in instagram which was cool 8 yrs ago or so. Nothing creative about it and certainly nothing new! Just another pop culture short-term trend for people who don't know about real house music and its history! Actually this has been properly done 30+yrs ago where some real good music was produced using way more creative ambient sounds than fucking flickering noise. I can really understand how this hype came up and it has nothing to do with quality or evolution in house music Be part of this hype and ignore the history of house music if you really want to. Certainly it will not stand the test of the time.

[@Lo-Fi-Go]

Great tune, cool story, nice dude.

[@waxmaster-c]

cool story bro

[@AwkvardWasTaken]

Something as simple as a interview hits the artist some type of way ends up making a legendary track that hit many in different ways goes to show how amazing and unique this type of music is 💯

[@jonathanf3604]

Someone should sample this interview in a lofi house track 😂

[@borisvalvoka6975]

Been listening this song in repeat for 10 days now, mostly while rollerblading. Thanks man, a lot.

[@alirezazarrineghbal6026]

damn man wiona is one of the best songs ever I've listened to it thousands of times I wish something as great will one day be created again.

[@el_teodoro]

Really love that record, I hope he keeps making more!

[@abbeygallepersonal]

[@nostalgiaTune]

[@maxmilnes7617]

Absolutely bumps that song 👍🏼

[@CT-kb1yi]

First time I heard it I was naaah this is boring...second time I tried I was like “what the hell I was missing..?”,so it became one of the fav ever on the list.This is trully a work of art...Boring’s a genius for pulling this off.

[@chrissmith8784]

Really reminds me of a slim donnie azoff (jonah hill) in wolf of wall street

[@rcecil88]

[@mrp_ines5180]

Please make a FACT for no_4mat

[@dale_cooperr]

Wit wit wit wit wit wit wit

[@Dougie-]

I wonder if he uses that S2000. That's kinda hassle to use, but not a good lo-fi sound? Or? Have never owned one. Anyone else use it and why?

[@maddox23paradox]

Dope track!

[@metronomexxx]

well done Dj Boring!

[@1247111]

[@jduartealvarez]

[@FatCoreProductions]

I like good bye Michael by him, I wish he would put it in spotify lol

[@u1y55e]

hey tristan i always wonder what is this kind of pad u used on winona can i have a name pls? id really appreciate it love ur stuff mate xxxxx

[@zakdegenhardt1820]

the Slav music channel did a series on this of sample origins and it said that the pad is actually a sample from a track in the 80's. check it

[@iliilili310]

ZK Synth sounds in music are recycled more than your mom. It's not the sounds, but what you do with them, that makes all the difference.

[@AstonishingSodApe]

It’s sampled from Melon City by Dream Carpets

[@u1y55e]

Michael Clayton yeah I found out! I use it all the time now, plus Interior Fountains became my favourite ambient record

[@AstonishingSodApe]

Ulysse Prudent ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@APR944]

Great Fvcking track!! XX

[@kalijou621]

exellent job

[@overundah]

Sounds like someone was fresh off a beat session if you know what I mean.

[@YadyStyle]

that track changed everything ♥

[@user-su9pg1jo4x]

FUCK NO! not for me! not close to the quality of any Frankie track!

[@kurtv7638]

J Christ k

[@GeorgeCostanzo]

wtf did he change? those kinda tracks are getting released for almost 30 years, [deep] housemusic u know?!

[@user-su9pg1jo4x]

so damn right. I just figure that ppl in fact do not know.

[@Imontheedgewithyou]

why isn't he saying that he sampled Melon City ?!?!!!

[@AstonishingSodApe]

Because he doesn’t want to get sued

[@дорогой-ъ8н]

DJ Boring 4L

[@gimmedimmy6533]

Been trying to find out who the casting director was. After heading down a rabbit hole searching for influential casting directors who became producers and closest I got is Bonnie Timmermann.

[@南口たけひろ]

love💗

[@TheMick200]

Now get DJ Seiinfeld on here

[@ato7437]

Eimezin'

[@GabREAL1983]

dope track ...still

[@RandomnessTube.]

I was laughed at at a house party for playing this track years ago whos laughing now.

[@Cosmonautaholografica33]

Cool

[@999dayslater]

DOPE

[@Louisleloup123]

He forgot to say how he completely ripped off the song Melon City by Dream Carpets

[@yxcvbnmmnbvcxy544]

No, he sampled it. That's pretty common practice in music, but thanks for the info.

[@Stuart.Branson.]

Winona was always very pretty, the casting lady was obviously jealous

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Doesn't really sound like a reveal honestly :P

[@adammellor224]

id on glasses

[@Louisleloup123]

He forgot to say how he completely ripped off the song Melon City by Interior Fountains

[@ThicGamestop_shopper]

[@Matasikox]

Very boring

[@bechuanalandspotter8085]

hahahahaha. song makes me depressed and in love

[@angiebee4963]

Huh

[@mpbrainwave]

ultimate meme house anthem

[@jaedii7287]

Meme house? Get outta here

[@dudeleafson9913]

You're welcome I was prolly half them views lmfaooo

[@Hardbody94]

Brilliant dude this track created a revival in analog recording... it’s always been around, but I saw a lot of artists trying to copy his style after this released

[@ards5161]

analog recording? literally 99% of contemporary lo-fi is probably made on cracked versions of ableton 9

[@j.boricceli5843]

Smart guy.

[@user-su9pg1jo4x]

Did you watch the video? man open your eyes. Nothing is analogue in his setup. Bullshit!

[@fullfunk]

you didnt saw everything back there is a rack maybe he has a analog pre amp or equalizer, anyway it the right plugins can make the famous analog tape delay and i bet you couldnt tell the difference..

[@user-su9pg1jo4x]

Didn't SEE! And dude, there's an Akai MPX 16 and that's it! I own a couple of the first Roland synths and anybody can hear the difference, in fact just yesterday I demonstrated the difference of the Juno Plugin to a friend! It is obvious, go listen to one!

[@drivn4895]

Oof

[@thundertower]

Dj Simp

[@lloydthesage1164]

Shutup😂😂😂😂

[@olivermoore4898]

Hahahaha sick this

[@user-su9pg1jo4x]

The creativity of comments here suit the music "He's so boring...."

[@HenritheHorse]

This guy is Boring...

[@zzzemoji]

this guy just not there to make a spectacle of himself

[@HenritheHorse]

But he is Boring! (Primus sucks)

[@zzzemoji]

Henri the Horse but yeah he's Boring
