Madonna's "Into The Groove" Reconstruction

[@joustwave6541]

As a kid through puberty and into adulthood, at every stage I always found the synth sounds of this song sexier than the words and vocals. :P

[@PHUSHEY]

OMG I've been working on this song for about a year and Dr.Mix does it in 11 minutes.

[@lagtvfan2128]

I'm sure it took him about 40 years to do it in 11 minutes.

[@RenatoVargas]

@@lagtvfan2128 the wisest comment I’ve read today!

[@stupidocanerosa]

Actually they were about 7 minutes and a half.. but yeah, it had been a long way to have the skills to do it in such a short time. 😅

[@jean-louispech4921]

@@stupidocanerosa Doctor Mix masters his art of decoding songs and sounds... and play them on the spot.

[@djb12DeepAcidHouseExperience]

There are also clearly some edits and he probably did a bit of “homework” ahead of time before going in blind. But yeah, it’s taken him decades to be able to do this fast and accurate.

[@sonicplayroompiano4302]

One of the sickest bass lines ever. Didn't give it the attention it deserves until recently

[@ShampooCell]

It really is the greatest synth bass line ever recorded imho

[@abikalejaiye2376]

Nile Rodgers from Chic produced Madonna.

[@raingirlcat2245]

[@lt2143]

Madonna's Into The Groove is one of the greatest dance songs of all time! The original version stands alone and incomparable compared to the later remixes. And this was before all of those crazy techno and computer beats. The intro instantly grabs you without any needed slow buildups.

[@Sirie7206]

💯!

[@stupidocanerosa]

Yessir!

[@djdubplate76]

Agreed

[@Simbor-rh1dj]

It used dx7 sounds from the bass to the synth bell and a Roland drum machine. And probably Roland pads.

[@DetroitMicroSound]

When I see Detroit artists I've watched become legends for many years, represented in the way they are, as founders, and pillars of the community...I cry a little with joy. It's OUR MOTOWN BABY! I was there for it. I partied at 1515 Broadway, and all over, with Kevin, and Madonna lived up the street from me as a young lady, and went to Rochester Schools, just like me, only a few years before I was in high school. I have a bunch of life-long friends who went to Adams. A bunch of us, helped throw techno parties around the D, as young twenty-somethings in the early 90's. Good work all! ❤

[@uniqueflowsnake]

Thank you for sharing.

[@soaribb32]

This song somehow still feels modern. ❤❤

[@whatdaro]

The reason your videos are great is not just because of the very high technical information you provide but also because you really enjoy what you are doing, thank you so much.! One song I would love you to reconstruct is Prince's When the doves cry.

[@fredfred2363]

I like it when Claudio is impressed with other youtubers. Those two 80's challenges were indeed most impressive. Respect. 👍🏻🇬🇧😎

[@derlio2086]

Odd when 40 year old synths sound better than today's ones

[@lucmermans37]

Exactly!!!

[@epicon6]

The 80’s ended too soon😢

[@AQAMARINA]

Beautiful! still holding my hopes for the Robert Miles - Children reconstruction

[@culttelevision]

Another lovely video :) I was obsessed with this song after getting the UK 12" in 1985. It had the breakdown of Steve Bray's superb baseline somewhat isolated which enabled me to learn it from ear at the tender age of 12 . Tim Simenon apes a fair amount of the bassline sound / playing style for "Don't Make Me Wait' 3 years later. Sadly we only had access to some early Yamaha DX's at school so had to wait a few years to get the right sounds. All about the layering in 80s pop. Layering and loads of production on everything. We regularly used 4 layers on bass sounds (2 analog 2 digital for fatness and edge) and snare drums in those days . The original used the Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 rack for bass. The main chords were Juno 106 doubled with Oberheim OB-8. Bell hook was DX-7. Drums were DMX (kick , hats and snare)and TR-727 (percussion)

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

It took me YEARS to find that 12". For the longest time I believed that it didn't exist, simply because I couldn't find it. I still have mine.

[@culttelevision]

@@ScottsSynthStuff Yeah, we had a local rural Woolworths that was particularly good for UK chart 12"s. and obscure remix releases. We kept all our records safely in an old box at room temperature. I don't think that one has been played since 1985 :)

[@BillVincent]

Is that UK version still around now for download? @@culttelevision

[@culttelevision]

@@BillVincent I can't find any record of it anywhere online which is weird

[@edstudio673]

Really the original analog synth that was used was the Roland MKS 80? Are you sure about that? Thanks for sharing your experience. Regards

[@TettyBettyZOne]

The energy with this guy is contagious

[@patrickfitzgerald2695]

Ibiza 1989 from memory - Good Life - one of the greatest ever synth grooves.

[@nicolasmilo2296]

Into the groove, un titre terriblement beau et bon, la Madonna au top du monde et une époque formidable ❤

[@ultramet]

Ok. This was the synth line that I’ve been waiting Dr. Mix to cover. One of the best synth bass lines from the 80s. I’ve used a Juno 60 for this myself. So many “meh” recreations on YT but Dr. Mix nailed it! ❤

[@Sirie7206]

Me Too!!! I absolutely love it.

[@mrlionel1965]

It’s so amazing to see how easy some of these songs actually were. Awesome job Claudio! Love the channel!

[@albertomoreno9599]

Xpectacular as usual. Into the Groove and Good Life are two of the most liked songs of all my life

[@mlvc82]

THAT BASELINE IS STILL EVERYTHING ! QUEEN MADONNA FOREVAH!

[@trishchepish]

I need more Madonna deconstructions by Doctor Mix. If he made "Into The Groove" in just 11 mins, I would like to see a "Sorry" deconstruction, "Hung Up" or even "Music Inferno" that has a sample of "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps. And of course I really really love how the Doc rebuilds the masterpieces making them a bit of a refresh. Greetings from the north of Italy, Doc!

[@asmodelle]

Love your videos Claudio but this one is the best, love to see more 1980s recreations. Bring it on 🙂

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

I remember playing this live ( Sequenced) back when it came out and we used the DX7 for Bass Line over the Roland Jupiter 8, Juno 106 or JX8P. 🤔

[@TR-Mead]

Not at all a Madonna fan but I do love this song, and Angel.

[@shan5445]

You don't have to be a Madonna fan to enjoy her music

[@andersistbesser]

Me too

[@bertvennemann189]

I bought the 12 inch Vinyl when it was released. I own nearly all 12 inches from HOLIDAY - OPEN YOUR HEART ! Madonna from nowadays is a shame, unfortunately !

[@saardean4481]

great video as always! the 1:30 solo reminded me of inner city's " Good Life"

[@Czechbound]

This is the sort of video sponsorship I can get behind : Roland make great kit. Newbies with money might like it. Doctor Mix has the target audience. He works his magic using Roland's machine, and we love the video ! This is fantastic. And well done Younger and Uto-San : fantastic #80s80sChallenge results ! Those melody chords in "Good Life" were brilliant !

[@moussybruno2113]

Very nice reconstruction and 80's music is a legend. the first example youngr reconstruction remembers Hithouse music style (house music).

[@davidsheppard3610]

It's an absolute must to listen to this with some great headphones, especially the clip from Younger at the beginning, it's amazing !! Well done again Claudio !! ❤

[@lasse9706]

Spot on, that clip was insane.

[@alan.smitheee]

Killer song. Love this videos. Pd. 8:37 I thing the correct chord is Eb instead of Cm

[@anonymouzxx]

Nice groove. Glad you reconstruct it! 😊

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Youngr is just a god on the Fantom. Love everything he does! Claudio, the only thing I think I would have done differently is overlaid a hand clap on top of the snare - that hand clap sound is iconic in this song!

[@pronzac]

You're really clever with the iconic intro!

[@LadySamanthally]

Love the fun and enthusiasm Love this song so much

[@flashbaq49]

Man, I love your energy brotha. I'm not a producer, just a DJ as a a hobby. I really enjoyed watching this and looking forward to others. I just subd, thanks

[@prowlermadmax2]

I've always wondered what analog machines William Orbit used to record Madonna's "Ray of Light" Album, it's my favorite and i never get tired of listening to it.

[@justiceleague3000]

That opening shot was incredible! Perfect replication of that bassline 👏

[@Nevsw9]

Hey Doc!! Thanks so much for the video and your very knowlegdable but happy crazy presentation and focus on these ÜBER Classic dance tracks which set fire to the creative passion for so many millions of us! You totally have your finger on the pulse and understand the needs of your audiance.

I used to do this when I was 14 years old, now I am 48 and wow this brings back so many memories. I would splice wires and record each track separately playing each track over the last...so cool!

One of the MOST iconic bass line ever! (But I use my Moog Source babyyyyy) 🔝🔝🔝

I think Madonna used a Yamaha X7 for the synthesizer instead of the Roland Juno 6 for bassline. Perhaps a Roland 80 synthesizer for melody

"Into The Groove" una de las mas potentes canciones de Madonna que revolucionar las pistas de baile en los 80´s. Entrabas a una disco, ponian la canción y la fiesta se armaba. Un sonido potente, un beat duro marcado, un bass Juno power que te llegaba al corazón. Los sintetizadores eran el corazón de la música. Increible ¡

[@robotwolf]

I normally pay no attention to the advertised product. But the Fantom has me drooling. It also makes me miss my 106. I need to get rich somehow...Freakin love Roland!

I cant’t stand over-enthusiastic over-the-top, happy, hyperkinetic yourubers/instagrammers (whatever new platform). BUT I adore the Dr, It makes me (a grumpy person) happy, I guess it must be that he’s authentic or I’m just being fooled into thinking that. Of course his content is top notch, that goes without saying. So I send him love (and a hug if he accepts) and hope the best for him. Thank you Dr.
