How to make the bass and arpeggio from Kylie Minogue 'Slow' in DRC

Published on  

Kylie - an artist so massively famous, that she doesn’t even need her surname anymore. If someone says ‘Kylie’, conjuring up a mental image of the pint-sized pop princess is almost pavlovian by now. With an artist who has reinvented her look and style several times throughout her career, there are many options for your imagination to paint, from a rich tapestry spanning three decades of chart success.

In the early 2000s, Kylie’s music took a turn towards an electronic club-focused influence, thanks to the tremendous success of 2001’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ relentlessly stomping its way across dance floors and firmly into our heads. Maintaining this ‘clubby’ feel while transitioning somewhere between electro-house and synth-pop, 2003 saw the release of Kylie’s all-time favourite song of hers; ‘Slow’.

‘Slow’ took centre stage as the lead single from Kylie’s ninth studio album ‘Body Language’ - the eagerly anticipated follow up to the phenomenally popular prior release ‘Fever’ in 2001. Now with a total of 14 studio albums under her belt and touring almost every year, Kylie isn’t showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon, which is fine by us!
