Are you only on Instagram? It's harder to load on desktop

Yes I'm on instagram, where else could I upload them?

YouTube, Facebook, Threads, Vimeo, SoundCloud (audio only), your own website…

These are so good! Love a bit of 'behind the scenes'. I'm mesmerized. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks again for these, Paz. They're stunning. Would love to hear full versions sometime...

Amazing again and again. But how do you get all the samples? because most of them souds like the real ones! Even the Neil voice sample (on Rent) or the many crazy ones on Paninaro... are all of them available on samples Libraries you can find around? How long does it take you to go through them all until you recognize which ones you should use for each song?

I’ve been listening to the Pet Shop Boys since I was 4 years old. I have all their albums and singles on vinyl, CD, and cassette. I grew up with their music, which is the soundtrack of my life. That’s why my ear knows those sounds so well— their music feels like 'home' to my ears.

The search for samples started... a lifetime ago! Just ten years ago, I remember having maybe a quarter of the sounds I needed. Many others I found over time through hard work, and some I recreated with other synths and software instruments.

If you have any further suggestions, feel free to let me know!

I'm back with an instrumental recreation of "It's a Sin" ! I hope you like it — it took a lot of work to put together!

Excellent work again - very well done. Those chords in the outro Especially at around 1:15 ish on that instagram clip.

Thanks for sharing.

This week I dedicated myself to a beautiful ballad, "Do I have to?"

Amazing. So much work must go into these. Thanks for sharing.

One of the most challenging recreations I've ever worked on so far, 'Love Comes Quickly'.

Here’s my latest recreation: Opportunities (Let’s Make Lots of Money) – 1985 Version.
“Let’s make lots of money”… but first, let’s recreate that insane Fairlight CMI drum sound from the chorus! Pet Shop Boys turned a sampled fill into pure percussive genius — it took some serious effort to match it. Monday reel time!

Very nice work!

Thanks for these works, I like them very much.
