The majority of my deconstructions have been made using Ableton Live, so with the recent release of Logic Pro X, I was excited to see how I could use its new features to help break down this track by Hot Natured and Ali Love. I particularly love the new iPad control app which amongst other things, allowed me to shoot to the different sections of the arrangement once I had set up region markers. I'm also enjoying the new Retro Synth which I used to recreate the main Synth Chord stab sound.

In 2002, X-Press 2's deep house single "Lazy" featuring an unlikely collaboration with Talking Head's David Byrne, became one of the most notable dance records of the decade by hitting the top of the UK charts. The breakout single from the 'Musikism' album, 'Lazy' featured Byrne speaking and singing over a barely up-tempo house track.

The task I set myself for this deconstruction video, was to program the whole track using Ableton's Push controller, without looking at the computer screen. The key, as ever, is in the preparation. The more you can work on your presets and racks beforehand, the more you can concentrate on playing the parts and getting creative. Over the last year or so, I have made a point of diligently saving any presets I have created into my user library, and labeling them clearly so I can dial them up whenever I want.
