Absolute masterclass from start to finish 👏👏👏

Chic – Le Freak BREAKDOWN: The Studio Magic Behind a Disco Masterpiece 🪩 Le Freak by Chic is more than a disco hit — it’s a master class study in rhythm, feel, and production. The groove so deep it didn’t need congas, shakers, or cowbells — just pure rhythm and precision. With Nile Rodgers’ layered guitars, double-tracked strings, and ingenious reversed handclap reverb, this is disco at its most sophisticated and danceable.

Well this is depressing…. The folks in our local Nottingham PMT were good people. The sheer cost of maintaining physical stores - rent, rates etc - is so high it’s almost impossible to compete. But nothing beats going into a shop and trying stuff out 😢

“80% of mixing is just volume balancing…”
