Starpulse Twentyone (Remix Ep)

StarPulse-AlbumArt-Chrome.jpg

I'm SOOO excited to share this project with you all! I've been working on this collection of sounds during the pandemic, reflecting on what being isolated at home with colorful ideas, menacing synths, and purple haze feels and sounds like. I wanted to make music to feel confident to, music to serve looks to, and music inspired by missing the city, the clubs, people, all while at home (again) feeling sometimes very alone but also very ALIVE.

LISTEN TO ‘CAPTIVE HEART’ FROM ‘STARPULSE TWENTYONE’ NOW


Selena - Captive Heart (Dj Buddy Bravo Remix)

I asked my YouTube subscribers what Selena song they wanted me to remix next – AND THE WINNER IS… CAPTIVE HEART! I wanted to create a 100% original music track and approach the vocals as a complete song. I wanted to bring Selena into a different space- cosmic, fashion, electronic, gritty, and sultry.

I present to you my remix of CAPTIVE HEART.

While creating this remix, I was inspired by Selena's cover of A Boy Like That, imagined an orchestra in space, thinking about living in the city, imaging what Selena would sound like performing on a fashion runway. Oh yeah, I would suggest quality earphones for the best listening experience.

This remix is taken from my first remix EP 'Starpulse Twentyone', which will be released 2/29/2021. I'm SOOO excited to share this project with you all! I've been working on this collection of sounds during the pandemic, reflecting on what being isolated at home with colorful ideas, menacing synths, and purple haze feels and sounds like. I wanted to make music to feel confident to, music to serve looks to, and music inspired by missing the city, the clubs, people, all while at home (again) feeling sometimes very alone but also very ALIVE.

Thank you for listening to my remix and allowing me to share my ideas with you all.
Let's help keep Selena's legacy alive by keeping her voice alive.

INSTRUMENTAL VERSION

Selena - I Could Fall In Love - Piano Tribute

1994 was a huge shift for Selena's career, as she and her team began preparation for her English language cross over album, which would be posthumously released after her death in 1995. Up until that point, most of Selena Y Los Dino's songs were written for the group by the group's band members. As Selena's team prepared English songs, Selena began to work with other songwriters to give her sound a more diverse reach.

This song in particular, "I Could Fall In Love" stands out among the songs recorded for 'Dreaming of You'. When I first heard this song, I was just a kid but I was immediately blown away by how beautiful this song and rich the song is. The moment the cassette tape ran through my boom box, I was moved. Every time I hear this song, it overwhelms me realizing just how lucky we are to have this recording. I wanted to highlight Selena's vocals and the gorgeous songwriting in this timeless song.

I recorded the minimal piano arrangement and will eventually add strings, etc, but for now, I hope you enjoy my tribute to Selena with this version of "I Could Fall In Love". Thank you to everyone who has subscribed recently! I'm working towards 1,000 subscribers! Please like and subscribe if you like what you hear.

Illustrated Portrait - Jessica L'Whor

One of Denver’s biggest and hardest working drag queens is no doubt Jessica L’Whor. If you’ve been in a Denver gay bar over the past 3 years, you’ve probably seen her hosting a show, crackin a nasty joke, or turnin a multi-layered look. When I saw this look in particular, I was shook. Follow Jessica on instagram to see her do her thing.

Jordin and Jon Thursday are the most fashionable people a person could ask for… they’re also hella nice and fun! Obviously, the best neighbors anyone could ask for. It’s amazing seeing them all the time and, in the old world, before Rona’s Reign, I loved seeing these two turn looks on any given night of the week. Happy Holidays to you all and if you have good neighbors, tell them happy holidays and if you don’t, tell them happy holidays anyway!

Mariah Carey - Underneath The Stars MUSIC VIDEO Edit

Check out a new MUSIC VIDEO for my arrangement/remix of Underneath The Stars by Mariah Carey.

Listen on SoundCloud:

LEARN MORE: www.buddybravo.com/blog/underneaththestars I’m excited to share a new arrangement of Mariah Carey's 1996 song "Underneath The Stars". This original recording is revered by many as one of Mariah's best songs and one of the strongest R&B records Mariah has written and recorded. For me, as a young lamb, I remember really catching the vibe Mariah and long-time writing partner Walter Afanasieff were lying down. I was swept away (in my own youthful head) to the hillside with my imaginary lover with a sky full of glittering stars. As an adult, I imagined that feeling with even more intense romance + natural magic in the sky. The original arrangement captures 1970's soul, R&B, and smokey rooms filled with live music. The vocal layering is delicate, dynamic, and dimensional in a way that sounds atmospheric and ethereal. The static of the vinyl captures nostalgia, one of Mariah's many career consistencies, while the Rhodes piano futhure pushes the throwback feeling. This new arrangement is a different take, stripping away the underbelly of the soulful bass, and replacing it with cellos and strings. Marimba’s and flutes decorate the dampened piano chords and harp flutters- reminiscent of bundles of butterflies. The remix presented a cathartic process for me. 2020 has presented some very tough experiences for many people and personally, I have felt it over-and-over. Being home, lack of work, multiple deaths, a stream of bad news, etc have left me wanting to surround myself with beauty– an abundance of beauty. This production acted as a way for me to hear beautiful things, explore beautiful musical ideas, indulge in Mariah's warm, butter dripped vocals, and escape real-life challenges using real-life beauty. I'm grateful for Virtual Instruments. They have allowed me to conduct an entire orchestra while laying in my bed. I'm grateful for my laptop that is a tool I use to navigate depression. I'm grateful for my family and ancestors who have passed on the gift of music and self-expression. I'm grateful for Mariah Carey for writing words that fully encompass the listeners' imagination and illustrate beautiful emotions and feelings.
