Lets create dream house like we're back in the 90s

In 1996 Robert Miles scored a huge hit with his track 'Children'. Nowadays it's considered to be a trance classic but in 96 the music press actually called it 'dream house'.
I'll break out the dreamy piano to make a dream house track from scratch like we're back in the 90s.
Chapters:
0:00 Intro
1:24 Dreamy piano (XV-5080 model of the Jupiter Xm)
2:00 Dark bass (Roland Alpha Juno)
2:33 Adding beats and combining the basic elements
4:26 Korg M1 Organ 2 is always welcome
4:53 Modulating arpeggio on the Yamaha CS1x
5:46 Dreamy pads: Roland JV-1080 and Korg Triton
7:25 Finally some thunder ⛈️
8:29 The finished track

Criminally underrated channel

[@gogotrololo]

agreed 100%, just stumbled on it about an hour ago

[@Nathriel]

@@gogotrololo Totally! Just subbed :)

[@victorwidell9751]

I don’t care that it is basically a parody of how stereotypical the whole genre was. This is legit a great track. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Estuera]

Well, back in the 90s I really was completely done with this genre at some point as it was totally overplayed and copied. But now, 25 years later, it was actually a lot of nostalgic fun to create a 'tribute' track like this :)

[@mallorca1guy]

as is the music of nowadays, everyone is copying everyone, i think that accounts for every decade not specifically for them, and the music then was much more original then the music of today.

[@pokus3357]

My first CD that I bought as teenager was "Robert Miles-Children"! It was LOVE on the first hearing. One time later...a decade or soo when a friend plays for me some music on the mob.and ask me do I know what is it,I have no idea...it was some guitar noises,not perfectly played drums notes and bad mix... I asked him:"What is this s..."? He's answer was:"Last album of R.Miles"! I couldn't belive it... ...growings or metemorfozes...

[@darrenhirst9900]

@@mallorca1guy If something sells people jump on the band wagon and its always been that way. I know its annoys people because it seems there is no creativity or originality but like Blacktronics states there is but you have to look for it.

[@edwineurodancer3922]

Oh house of the 90’s and trance of the 2000’s unforgettable I will make one song of each my self one day

[@findjonmoses]

Doing these tutorials is so important, not just for nostalgia but for keeping these genres alive. Others can now learn the fundamentals of a genre and remake it faithfully or put their own twist on it. Thank you for this fantastic series

[@fluctura]

Exactly, I'm learning alot here too. Working on a track today

[@williamgraham8761]

Yes, very true. 😊😊😊

[@OfficialHeartlead]

I'm definitely hearing a lot of Robert Miles vibes in the song. It's amazing how perfectly you can recreate the 90's genres. You are a true master.

[@TraxtasyMedia]

Rest in peace Robert Miles. He did an awesome job on creating something that hopefully eternal.

[@Jayel1978]

That track you made is just outstanding. What a talented producer you are. Gave me proper chills. I'm sure Robert is smiling down on you from up in heaven.

[@HenningUhle]

Perfect, Jonas! You've perfectly hit the Dream House or Dream Trance vibe. This is a nice melody. I like it very much. But I was shocked by the background why Dream Trance came to life: There were a lot of car accidents as clubbers drove overnight through Italy after raves and fell asleep and died in car accidents. This was called "Saturday Night Slaughter" and brought DJs and EDM musicians to the idea to calm people down at the end of the raves. This was the beginning of this subgenre. Robert Miles also found inspiration to "Children" after seeing a photograph of a child in the Yugoslav war. Both inspirations made "Children" so absolutely outstanding. Unfortunately, Robert Miles is no longer with us as he died of cancer in 2017. During the Nineties, me and my mate had an electronic music project called "The Doctors of Philharmonic Frontiers". And we tempted to make such music, too. Well, we had no luck. But we were deeply inspired by Robert Miles, DNA, Imperio and others.

[@JeffRockLife]

Ahhh, that was so awesome! Bringin' it together with the video. 😄

[@Shilorius]

Kurzgesagt, that was amazing! And yes, I spotted the Kurzgesagt-Logo behind you ;-)

[@popolino23]

I‘m a Kid of the 90‘s …with Children (Dream Version) i feel my first big Love 🥰 and finish with „One and One“😵‍💫and your Track bring all this Memories back. Thanks for your Work! 🤗🤗🤗

[@briansinger5258]

Glad KZbin put this in my feed while the stock is still affordable. I’m all in.

[@MsPedross]

Dream house seria um house music emotivo.

[@feelgoodmusic8722]

This is indeed a solid track. Love it!

[@scottyj9150]

Ironically, the track you've produced to show us how the 90's 'dream house' style was created, could actually stand the test of time alongside some of the classics from that era! Fantastic work, and thanks for sharing!

[@Borrelnoot1982]

Robert Miles would be proud, nice track !

[@OperatorMax1993]

love Dream House and Robert Miles Children was the greatest track to ever exist

[@badyherz]

Coming next? Fitting to the 90s. Maybe some Goa Trance or Nitzhonot? I would love to see and hear that! 🕉️

[@victotronics]

Damn. That's spot on. One criticism: the intro piano at 9:27 is too close to the melody piano, so when the melody comes in it's not the catharsis that it could be.

[@westerncivilization]

Love seeing that AN1X in the background.

[@Estuera]

Its a CS1x though. I'm on the lookout for getting an AN1x actually so it might show up eventyally as well.

[@Blaulicht1120]

Was really happy to see the man behind the orange vinyl from Intuition making Children-like track and showing the process. Really good final product with that perfect Rober Miles atmosphere. Slightly flat at some places like the intro, atmosphere missing, but it is very close to become full 7 minute production that I would be happy to see on beatport (vinyl of course, but it is too unreal now)

[@atanson322]

[@spbigboyphillips]

I’m back in the 90’s what a track!

[@rudy912]

Was on watch later. Liked

[@salamon918]

I love 80's and 90's music feeling. These were the best music. It's super track as well.

[@MsPedross]

An emotive house music.

[@stevenburns989]

wow gave me goosebumps and very happy memories... to the untrained ear that well could be Robert Miles to them

[@agressive26]

I am 41 yo so children and then encore une fois is my starter for edm I feel so deep when you play

[@Banglish123]

The first track I ever produced on Cubase was one of these. You can't go wrong. The structure is so formulaic and the instruments are quite limited. A fantastic example from you yet again, you really are becoming the living encyclopaedia of all things dance music.

[@notdon245]

I remember a lot of trance from 2000s racing games and Tekken that sounded like this but energetic and faster. This was the Trance that I grew up back then 😍

[@hyena0815]

Maybe it was Psy-Trance you heard in these games. 🙂 I also remember some Psy tunes from Tekken 6

[@ILoveWomen]

This could have came straight out of World Racing

[@bakana_sandwich1788]

I've always been thirsty for the tutorial that gives me the clue of 'Actually what synths/vsts fit with the genre of the music.' Your videos just poured hogshead of water to my parched throat suffering with thirst. Your videos catch two birds with one stone. I could learn the basic build-up of the genre and well matching sounds. Send you all my tremendous thanks from Korea...

[@polznbladz3242]

I remember listening to Children back in 96 and I had a conflict of interest. I was a gabberhead and this was the start of being drawn to trance music. It took another 3 years for it to be fully implemented. Always appreciate your tutorials

[@StigDesign]

Really Nice :D 8:54 Best Animal :D

[@asdifasi5379]

you are really great man.years 1994,1995 and 1996 are actually my childhood .Robert Miles, Zhi-vago, dj dado ,bbe, b born, olmec heads, cosmic gate, ayla, music instructor, space blasters, robert brant, scatman, jan and spoon, age of love, dj quicksilver ,Binary Finary ,Kay Cee makes me spend a lot a cassetes but also had a lot of fun and great memories

[@Ushgulubululum]

Wow You make Nice Videos. Found your Channel today and cant stop watching your Videos. This makes me listen today to All my old CDs like the Dreamteam dance compilations with zhi vago Imperia cyberdream nomansland Robert miles and other.

[@mykytashcherbyna]

Sounds a little as Ayla - Liebe (Trance Mix) and Ayla - Angelfalls.

[@rdmoonie]

ABOUT TIMEEEE

[@dixieflatline1189]

This is a reminder on how Robert Miles - Children evolved what was then underground music, moved it into the mainstream & onto MTV.

[@DaMany]

This channel needs much more subscribers, really love your work!! And this track gave me goosebumps, fantastic! Robert Miles is smiling from above, he would be proud

[@90s-Trance_86]

Niks te bye bye vriend :-) Jij gaat lkkr door met produceren. ben verslaafd aan je tunes, super rustgevend!! Thx voor je magisiche tunes :-)

[@bajerle]

You can’t go wrong with any Robert Miles spinoff ;)

[@IWOKEAGIANT]

You are very talented. Love your work mate and what a beautiful tribute to Robert. and LOL to the cats!

[@JM3RC4D0]

literally had goosebumps listening to this and took me back to late 90s love it man!!!

lol the "General Midi" thunder noise :):):)

This is a good one sir. Well done!

[@superkoax]

Every video from Jonas is pure quality! Thank you for sharing 😄😄

[@synthetixound]

Jonas, thank you so much for such an incredible journey to the year 1996. Dream House was quite popular in the mid 90s in the place where I was born. That's the real magic!

[@StudioMargalima]

As if we're back in 1996. The mood, the syncopated melody line, that '96-'98/'99 style pumping synched-bass and kickline, a hint of 808 sound, the right-of-middle-of-the track-just solo-kick and bass interlude/section, the kicks itself, brother you've got it all covered. Very well made is too less said, it's downright a reincarnation what could be a track of the late Mr. Concina.

[@saxongroove5898]

I loved this kind of music back in the day. Brings back memories for sure! I'm a little surprised that it hasn't aged as well as I would have expected.

[@AFCA4EVER]

This man... Always makes me smile watching these vids!! Great job Jonas!! Can't wait to see the next one!! 😃

[@filippleskac6130]

I’m checking everyday whether you uploaded a new video. You’re awesome! 💟

[@Estuera]

The new studio is close to being operational so I hope to be able to create a new video soon😁

[@gogotrololo]

liked, subscribed, and shared among friends. You're doing great stuff hah

[@Carlho80]

Could definitely imagine Pete Tong playing this on the essential mix in 1996, crowd chanting oooh oooh, oooh oooh in the breakdown 😃

[@monocore]

Holy crap you're talented.

[@johnmax5652]

RAVE ON!

[@ogasi1798]

got the OG and a few re-releases, also, i love one on one - lesser known, nice gentle trance

[@ligist1804]

Wow, even the video at the end fits the era. That speed up highway scene is so 90's for me. Nice track!

[@conradtwonine9414]

Damn, this is good!

[@brennuvargr4638]

This is fuuuucking beautiful!!!

[@ademcfade]

Really nicely paced tutorial, going to have to give it a try!! Subscribed!

[@5XWAZM]

I feel like this could've been my older brothers ringtone In the 2000s😂

[@Estuera]

Haha :D yeah , those ringtones was the last stop for this genre I guess.

[@cunnyfunt30]

I remember hearing children at a rave at allerton castle in 1995, it was the tune of the night and it will always have a place in my heart. I miss these types of tunes and hearing your excellent tribute has reignited my love for the genre

[@Devilsou]

Once more, a great video :)

[@whiterottenrabbit]

Awesome breakdowns of cheesy classics, subscribed!

[@jjrusy7438]

this is really cool. that yamaha patch is killer. IMO that makes the whole song fly

[@ahmetakbaba3230]

I was waiting this video. Because ive got another sense for dream house. Especially Robert Miles. He is the legend.Thank you very much for the video Jonas. You are the legend too :)

[@90s-Trance_86]

Wow can I have your dream in 320KBPS mp3. Freaking awsome tune!

[@synthlord2368]

Nicely done! Nail on the head right there! I'd listen to this while driving. Probably get a few speeding tickets along the way. Lol

[@uly1981]

Your CS1X was waiting for this opportunity!

[@johntammaro]

Did you miss a week ? Looking forward to this. all your content is top notch quality.

[@23bit76]

I feel the great dream house era ended by 1993. The trance like bass lines, higher bpm and more digital instruments were something different.

[@robertsyrett1992]

I have always had a bit of a tough time picking apart all the different adjacent genres of 1990's electronic dance music (trance, techno, house, psy, etc), so it's really elucidating to get your perspective on what the defining elements are to the culture today. good upload.

[@johngarritzcx6733]

When i hear this in 1999 2000 you.ve also got: Aila Aila a very😪 greatly dreamy track

[@notrustyshackleford]

Another great track. Your back in the 90s stuff is always great. A lot of 90's electronic music had influence in some of the scores in 90's games, I miss that. I remember 1080 Snowboarding on the N64 soundtrack having quite a few DnB style tracks.

[@korolchukpp]

Это! Просто! Обалденно!

[@Perception_]

Never expected it to be as good as it was.

[@sneakyfatcat]

Do a jungle track next!

[@FrankHoffmann1000]

Fantastic - great track, great video, too!

[@iamgeorgesears]

Ah man, this brought out quite a lot of memories and emotions with them. Job well done Jonas.

[@kenzieprice6745]

I really like the history, relation of the gear, and informative bits along the whole video! It makes it very interesting and a lot of fun too. I would enjoy hearing you discuss more about artists of the time since you seem very experienced. Great stuff!

[@emphatic001]

I remember the first time I heard Children on Trancemaster 11 in 1995. It was groundbreaking. Nice work on the tribute track.

[@BartWronsk]

Back then (or rather a few years later, spending most of adolescence in the early 00s) I didn't like this style at all, seemed too cheesy and worn (plus I was an angry teenager :) )... But I love your tribute! Again, great work, I love how your content is both top notch, as well as unique and different to all the other music youtube channels - thanks to all the underexplored genres you cover (mostly around forgotten pearls of the 90s subgenres!).

[@Alex-vg7uu]

Amazing video!! Thank you 🙏 For a classic off beat bass line, also try the Yamaha MU100 bass patch called “Cubit”

[@leaningtower73]

Excellent recreation, but still an amazing 90s trance track!

[@RUNCNC]

Sounds like a tune from an early Dream Dance Sampler. Nice work Jonas!

[@gbunite8753]

Nice

[@lairdtomfrenchelectromusic2545]

Hi Jonas ! Back in the 90's !!!! As usual, another quality music production and explanatory video. All the codes of the dream house are respected in every detail. Bravo et merci à vous Jonas pour ce partage. :)

holy shit, nailed it, as a euphoric trance head from early 2000s well done. visuals are 100% too

[@dendera1337]

Great track! Took me back to the early days of trance (92-96) when we danced at illegal factory raves - what a time to be young and experience that euphoria that the whole scene gave you!

[@tehedx]

Nice to hear about the generation and experiennce difference :) My memory (as a child) was taping it from the radio, but falling asleep and cursing the next day because auto-reverse was on and the tape was recorded 5 times over!
