For a bit of fun, I decided to create a minimalist version of 'Enjoy Yourself' by Saint Pepsi. The song was created using samples from the song 'Off the Wall' by Michael Jackson.

I made this "clean" version of 'Enjoy Yourself' by sampling Michael Jackson's 'Off the Wall'. I simply slowed down the audio, changed the pitch and rearranged sections of the song. I did not include any additional processing. Some folks think that Vaporwave music is easy to make and relies too much on samples for it to be called original work. However, I hope that by comparing this to Saint Pepsi's 'Enjoy Yourself' you can hear that Vaporwave songs require a lot more production than just slowing down an old song.
Did you spot my rookie mistake?
- At 00:11 I massively messed up the wording arrangement. Compare the audio from this to the original song from this point and you'll notice that the wording is different.
Things I learned
- Your choice of audio from which you're going to sample from is very important. In this remake, I first tried sampling a version of the song 'Off the Wall' that was taken from a Michael Jackson Best Of compilation album. However, the Best Of version was overly compressed and normalized which resulted in the vocals having noticeably steep changes in volume at various parts while I was rearranging the different sections. Such changes in volume aren't noticeable in the original 'Enjoy Yourself' by Saint Pepsi. And so, I swapped out the source audio for the original 'Off the Wall' (taken from the 1979 album of the same name).
Please note, I did not write this song and I take no credit for it. The source audio/song was created by Michael Jackson and was rearranged into 'Enjoy Yourself' by Saint Pepsi. I merely recreated Saint Pepsi's rearrangement. Some might call it a bootleg of a bootleg.
