Danja producing 'My Love' by Justin Timberlake FEAT. T.I.

In this sneak peek Danja unveils his process of producing Justin Timberlake and T.I.'s hit song 'My Love'

The MWTM series debut with Grammy-winning producer Danja is here! Filmed at Dream Asylum studios in Florida, these videos take you through the process of creating ‘My Love’, the 2006 smash hit performed by Justin Timberlake with T.I. and Timbaland. Danja revisits the experience of working on the FutureSex/LoveSounds album and describes how he was given free rein to build the foundations of this particular track. He recounts the early stages of making a simple beat on his MPC4000, being inspired by trance music at a club, and aiming to infuse some of that character using arpeggiated synths. With the Pro Tools production session open, Danja cycles through each part to explain how it was made and discuss its purpose in the project. Aside from learning about Danja’s workflow, you’ll get some insight into the writing and production methods of Timbaland and Justin Timberlake!

Imagine opening a beat you made 16 years ago and it still bops...

This is 🔥🔥🔥

[ekkamailax]

the peak of timbaland's career is when danja was producing his stuff!!

[modsbeats]

When u get into music u find out that guys like Danja were actually behind great hits n not the ones who we thought were.

“They sounded cheap but I was using them in a rich way” 🔥🔥🔥

Timbaland does a master class and doesn't do/show any of his hits.
Danja does Mix with the Masters and does one of his BIGGEST HITS! They need to get Danja do more vids. ICON.

Give the man his flowers and recognize the gifts and the talents behind Justin's music. I don't hear his name enough from Timbo or JT, even today, 15+ years later. He slayed those tracks on FutureSex/LoveSounds. My Love was always my favorite out the gate when the album came out. The track was so fresh and future forward in sound and the video just enhanced the listening experience. So dope. Props to Danja

[ayoonine]

Danja is legendary this man is single handedly responsible for electro Timbaland

[whatistau]

Danja brought that trance and club sound to 2000s hip hop and pop. "Blackout" is crazy with beats, Ayo Technology, Sexyback, Diddy Rock etc

[RNDClipse]

I just cried some real ass tears after he played the chords with the synths. THIS IS MUSIC

[ikabako]

Danja is underrated. He is one of the best producers. We gotta to give him the credits he deserves 🤝.

[Koolhand]

I love this guy. Found out he was producing for timbaland and mostly did nelly furtado loose album. I love his sound. His energy. His sonic taste is insane. 🚨

[greatestsawes]

When he touched those keys, I instantly got inspired to go make a beat.
Respect ✊🏻

[kaito]

One of the most unique sounding songs ever made. Together with Sexyback this sounded like it was from a different multiverse back in 2006.

[NarutoClassics]

you guys could do other Danja's songs.. like "SummerLove" "SexyBack" "Promiscuous" "Give It to Me" "Gimme More" "Break the Ice" "The Way i Are" "We Takin' Over" "Easy"

[STRAIGHTP]

Behind the Scenes DANJA made a lot of people look great while he just stood behind the curtains. You can tell by the way he flows through the Ivory, he's not just a "beatmaker". He's a true producer. I believe he also did "4 Minutes" with JT and Madonna

[OperculumAudio]

Damn, thats amazing to hear the original Gated Trance Synth played along with the Piano.

[mbrfqkq]

This album was so ahead of its time. Danja is iconic

[virtuoso]

This was amazing to see and unfortunately it was over before I knew it. Mentally I’m prepared to sit here for two hours and listen to this genius talk about FutureSex. And it really shows you how Danja was the *musician* behind the *beat maker* for that project. It’s no shade to Tim, it’s just truth that Danja’s contribution to those songs took them to another level.

[audiodopebeats]

Although its not mentioned in this clip, I believe the lead on 'My Love' comes from the ARP ODYSSEY, specifically, the 'Honoria' patch. At 3:50, Danja mentions that he used sounds from the KORG Legacy series to make the beat for 'My Love.'

[ZacharyAghaizu]

It's amazing what come out of 1 jam session. So true! You really enriched them.
