In a world where rock stars call out producers for creating music on their “laptops” Brillz has decided to cover an electronic anthem using nothing but live instruments. In a video posted today, the producer displays his music talent by showing how he can do more than work on a laptop. He uses numerous instruments on covering NRG by Duck Sauce as well as sampled a door slamming. He doesn’t use any midi or presets in formulating the song, instead choosing to recreate everything organically.
The electronic music industry sometimes get a bad rap for not using instruments in their music, but this video helps to disprove that opinion in a big way. Expect the full version of Brillz’s cover of NRG to be available soon. Until then you can watch some of his process of recreating this hit below.

You sound like my grand parents. "This rock music is shit, it's not even real music, I mean they're sending the sound through all those pedals/filters/amps!!" You claim you don't use a "soft synth" but then 5 seconds later you're hitting keys on a keyboard that uses electronics inside to synthesize a sound, is it better because your keyboard is shaped like a piano and mine isn't? No, it's pretentious semantic bullshit, and there's no room in Trap for it.

I bet you're the type of person to download free massive preset packs and say you've made them yourself, and I bet your copy of fl studio is licensed to TEAM-AIR, Chris.

Ash Matthews What you just did is called a "strawman", it's a simple logical fallacy often committed by those that have no valid counter argument. My personal use of samples has nothing to do with the attitude displayed in this piece, so try again. If it makes you feel better, I don't even use FL, I stick to Reason and Cubase.

Kenny Grabber But he's putting it through a DAW after he records it, the difference is he's hitting keys on a "keyboard" that isn't shaped the same as the keyboard attached to your PC, otherwise it's the same thing. I guess I can't expect everyone to get it, I mean he doesn't even seem to understand, he claims he's not using a sequencer and then lays tracks into a sequencer on video..
