Need to kick start your Monday morning? Watch this 17 year old’s mad skills as he uses a Novation Launchpad to mash together 39 electro pop tracks — from the likes of Daft Punk, Gorillaz and Kylie Minogue — to create a 3 minute floor filler.
Going by the name, Madeon, the young French producer also uses a Novation ReMOTE Zero SL MKII MIDI controller for this track called “Pop Culture”. The software? Not Ableton Live as you’d expect: He uses FL Studio and you can see him trigger lots of 16th-note clips. Love it. [Madeon via Create Digital Music]

However, 39 slices of crap songs does not make a good track. “I can be your boy..” MEH it is just another 4 on the floor gimicky sample song. Write a riff and amazing lyric and you get my attention. Sorry to be a hater, but it is a shit song. I admit I never listen to elctronic doof shite.
