ON THE MOVE WITH FAST TRACKERS

Fast Trackers is a musical group consisting of songwriter/producers and artists David McClintick Roberts of Rye Catchers and Terry Sartor Music. The two of them have been on the music scene for many years now. Each one brings their own idiosyncratic components to Fast Trackers. Out of Milwaukee, Dave is the mastermind behind the wonderful pop rock outfit Rye Catchers. Residing in Atlanta, Terry brings his extensive DJ background and production experience in the electronica as well as pop music spaces. Together as Fast Trackers, the two create a lively and striking sound fit for today’s hyperpop music scene. Let’s find out more from David and Terry in a Valiant Horizon Q&A session.

How did you get your start in music?

Dave: I remember always relishing music – I can probably thank my parents for my first memories as a very young child: sitting on some awful green ‘70s s**g carpet and listening to The Beatles on vinyl. I would get the lyrics wrong and, undeterred, sing along to “Band on the Run” for hours.

As far as being a musician myself, I am self-taught. My compositions are still formulated ‘by ear’. I began as a drummer in a high school band but realized my true love was music composition, so I purchased a keyboard and that is my primary tool for creating music. I did some studio projects long ago in the early ‘90s, but did not really begin seriously and consistently writing and producing ‘til just recently, several years ago, right before the Covid pandemic hit. From there I quickly adapted to the remote production approach which works really well for me!

Terry: I first started DJing at my alma mater Emory University at the radio station there WMRE. From there, I started DJing professionally while still an Emory student in Atlanta’s trendy Buckhead district. After years of playing other people’s music as a DJ at major music venues across the Southeast here in the U.S., it was time to make my own music! Thus Valiant Horizon was born! I released my first single “Industry” on Valiant Horizon - which was also the first Valiant Horizon release. Since that start, I have released a number of singles on Valiant Horizon. In addition, I have an album called UNBOUNDER. My sound goes everywhere from electronica to pop as well as rock. I like to explore diverse musical terrains.

How did Fast Trackers come to be?

Dave: Fast Trackers was the brainchild of Terry Sartor who publishes my work. He is also a producer and suggested we collaborate. Terry had some lyrics he had written years ago and asked if I might build some music around them. They were very upbeat and I could almost hear the melody line and hook as I read what was written down, and that became our first tune titled “Super Time”.

Terry: Since Dave and I are both artists on Valiant Horizon, the formation of Fast Trackers was a natural progression. He has been an awesome music partner with his superb production skills and boundless songwriting creativity shown front and center on the Fast Trackers singles “Super Time” and “Parachute Pants” as prime examples.

What was the creative and production process like for the Fast Trackers debut “Super Time single?

Dave:The process was very different from my usual approach. Typically I come up with chords first and flesh out a song with the music coming first and the lyrics and melody line last. In this case the process was reversed since I was handed lyrics and needed to build the music around the lyrics. It was therefore a fun and challenging exercise as it got me outside my usual approach and also got me outside my own shell and mind with more boppy messaging than I’d typically come up with on my own. The lyrics allowed me to let my hair down and produce a fun and upbeat tune.

Terry: As Dave indicated, I wrote the lyrics for “Super Time” some years ago. I presented them to Dave and that kickstarted the “Super Time” production process with Dave producing it with me on background vocals alongside lead vocals from Nikki Simmons and Ryan Whyte Mahoney.

What was the creative and production process like for the Fast Trackers sophomore “Parachute Pants” single?

Dave: The second tune was very similar to the first, with the lyrics provided by Terry and, once again, the overall positive messaging dictating a snappy and danceable tune. The only change was some of the feature talent, with a different vocalist employed on “Parachute Pants”, along with a rap break which helped turn the dial to ‘11’ on an already energetic song.

Terry: I wrote “Parachute Pants” as a sincere homage and cute throwback to the inspired and fantastic days of yesteryear. On the surface, it’s an overt salute to the awesome 80s but it’s way more. Dave brought the “Parachute Pants” theme to life in a fantastic way that subtly channeled an eighties feel but very much polished off with a 2020s sheen. Nashvilled-based singer-songwriter Drew Tyler did a phenomenal job as the lead “Parachute Pants” vocalist. Bahamian rapper Grafezzy adds his feel-good rap to up the ante. Dutch musician Niels van der Steenhoven rocks out on guitars. Spanish electronica artist Deckos joins Dave on keys, rhythm and virtual bass. So it was a great cast of characters!

What do you see as next with Fast Trackers?

Dave: Fast Trackers tends to output a tune once every 18 months or so; given that, listeners should check back with hopes we can create a third tune to match the highly spirited first two tunes!

Terry: The current sound of Fast Trackers is hyperpop - which is an edgy blend of electronica and - as the name suggests - pop music. “Super Time” and “Parachute Pants'' certainly epitomize the notion of hyperpop. I see the future of Fast Trackers continuing down the hyperpop path and potentially venturing into rock territory!

Be sure to download/stream “Parachute Pants” by Fast Trackers on your favorite music retail platform. Learn more about Fast Trackers at x.com/GoFastTrackers.

Valiant Horizon sends special thanks to Mike Chamoy for connecting Dave and Terry together.

The music label prides itself on unique collaborations with seasoned musicians as well as emerging artists. A great case in point is the 2024 Valiant Horizon single “Parachute Pants” by Fast Trackers - which includes David McClintick Roberts of Rye Catchers on production duties and Drew Tyler on vocals. The result is simply stunning with masterful musicianship by David topped off by fantastic vocals from Drew. David is a Milwaukee-based songwriter/producer focused on pop rock and hyperpop/electronica. Drew is a singer/songwriter out of Nashville specializing in pop and electronic dance music. Let’s dig into it with the guys on “Parachute Pants” and how it came to be.

Drew: My style is pop blended with storytelling lyrics

David: I always try to match the song with the right vocalist. Over the years I have worked with many great singers, and have settled on some favorites. Drew is a new addition to my short list of go-to talents. “Parachute Pants” was my first project with Drew and he fits the tune so well, bringing the melody lines to life in an engaging way.

Drew: I really had a great time singing on the “Parachute Pants” single.

David: As soon as I heard Drew’s demo, I knew I had found someone special for the “Parachute Pants” production. His vocals are delivered effortlessly, yet have so much depth and charisma. His voice is contemporary and versatile. I have hosted him on some unreleased projects that range from rock ballads, to pop rock, to EDM, and he works perfectly in all those genres.

Drew: “Parachute Pants” is a catchy song and I had the honor of adding my voice to it!

David: I sincerely hope everyone checks out the high energy dance pop goodness of “Parachute Pants” with Drew’s stellar vocals, its unique 8/8 time signature and nostalgic, uplifting lyrics. And look for Drew on future releases!

Six Questions with Dutch Musician and Synthpop Artist Matt Pop

The music label prides itself on unique collaborations with seasoned musicians as well as emerging artists. A great case in point is masterful Dutch musician Matt Pop who is featured on the 2024 cover of “S*x on Fire” with German-Belgian electro/rock band SLASHERS x Konrad Berger. Matt Pop is known for his uplifting blend of pop, dance and 80s-style music. He has been discovered by many artists and labels looking for that sparkle to make their mixes POP. Matt’s clients include Erasure, RuPaul, Kim Wilde, Nicki French, Ace Of Base, Cilla Black, Fangoria, Steps, Hazell Dean, Bucks Fizz, Sam Fox, Peter Wilson, and many more. Let’s get to know him more.

1.) How did you get your start in music?
For as long as I can remember, I have been playing music at home. It was at first on a cheap Casio PT-30 keyboard and then gradually my collection of keyboards grew. Finally at 20, I bought a multitrack tape recorder and a GEM WX-2 Workstation - which allowed me to produce professional-sounding music. I later switched to Cubase on a PC and started sharing my remixes on YouTube. These started to get a following until eventually, I got remix offers from the likes of Almighty Records, RuPaul and Energise Records.

2.) How would you describe your musical sound and style?
POP of course. 🙂I want my mixes to sound musical and melodic. Synth music was my first passion and that will always shine through.

3.) What was the creative process like with the “S*x On Fire” production?
The song is driven by an instantly recognizable guitar riff that runs all the way through. So that forms the backbone of my remix. The vocals are also very powerful and I made sure that they sound the best as possible. I love a slick pop production with well-produced guitars. I tried to achieve just that and to have a balance between a clean, precision-produced electronic production with the raw energy of live electric guitars.

4.) Who are some of your current influences and why?
I think Oliver is one of the best producers of the past 20 years. His music always sounds incredible. In the same corner, there is Chromeo with their slick modern productions and strong 80s-influenced retro edge. Max Martin's work with Coldplay and others is stunning. The last Kylie Minogue album Tension is also a benchmark for expertly crafted current dance-pop.

5.) What is next for you on the music front?
I keep on working on a freelance basis. So it's often a surprise to see which projects come my way. There is also a plan to one day do an instrumental Matt Pop album, where I cover some of my favorite vocal-free melodies. I'm in talks with an interested party. It looks like this album will actually happen at some point.

6.) You've done some stellar work on the high-NRG music scene including your association with the legendary Almighty music label and standouts such as your striking remix of "Love in the Shadows" by Paul Parker. How did your association with Almighty start?
I was lucky enough that they came to me, based on what they had heard on YouTube. Some of my first projects for Almighty were ABBA cover band Abbacadabra (“Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!”, “Fernando”, “Knowing Me, Knowing You” and “Summer Night City”) and We Love Kylie (“All The Lovers”). It was the start of a long and fruitful relationship.

DISCOVERING THE VOICE OF MARY LOVA: is excited about the collaboration of Mary Lova with our own SLASHERS x Konrad Berger.

Making waves in the pop music world as well as in progressive musical terrain, the Valiant Horizon music label continues to innovate within the music industry in very provocative ways with its various artists and collaborators..A shining example of this is Greek singer-songwriter Mary Lova who delights on the German-English double-single “Frustrierte Menschen / Frustrated People” by German-Belgian electro/rock band SLASHERS - which consists of vocalist Konrad Berger along with producers Steve Gobin and Markus Wagner. With their fantastic blend of electronica and rock as well as pop, SLASHERS bring their talents to explore humanity including its various facets and numerous aberrations.``Frustrierte Menschen / Frustrated People” was released on January 5, 2024 on Valiant HorizoniantHorizon in partnership with Asahi Music. Explore more at: https://stream.slashers.info/FM-FP.

Let’s get to know Mary more and her work with SLASHERS.

How did you get your start in music?

Mary: I remember me entertaining my family from an early age with home concerts and magic shows. Later in life, I participated in many music projects including an independent short musical that aired on national television. It was clear to me that my passion for music is here to stay as I always feel more alive when I embark on a new musical journey.

How would you describe your musical sound and style?

Mary: When it comes to music style and sounds, I tend to try and push my borders further and learn to appreciate new sounds and genres that are far from what I would consider my natural sound - which is a soul/jazz style.

What was the creative process like working on “Frustrierte Menschen / Frustrated People” by SLASHERS?

Mary: “Frustrierte Menschen/ Frustrated People” was an interesting project with great potential. I had the chance to extract a lot of fun and challenge from it as it was something new - which I was intrigued to try. I’m anticipating great success for the SLASHERS and hope to work with them soon again.

Who are some of your current influences and why?

Mary: My greatest inspiration of all time is Alicia Keys. I see an amazing musician and an empowering songwriter in her. Another artist on the same level would be Amy Winehouse as her music has gotten me through many phases in my life and still does. Other important names to mention are Sade, Erykah Badu and Michael Jackson.

What is next for you on the music front?

Mary: My music journey continues by going along the singer/songwriter route, working alongside other artists and musicians to create music that lasts and gives us the freedom to express and explore ourselves better.
