Rising producers, and interested minds, can now take a guided tour into what it takes to craft a massive festival banger. At the 2017 Dancefair, Brooks hosted a Masterclass centered on his single, ‘Boomerang’, with GRX (aka Martin Garrix). That Masterclass can now be viewed in full.

40 minutes in length, the free video sees Brooks introducing the methods behind every segment of the collaboration as well as the synths, sample packs, and software that went into its creation. From fine-tuning a lead to strengthening a bass line, Brooks does his best at explaining the process to the most novice of electronic music songwriters.

At this year’s ADE, Martin Garrix shared some his own techniques during a melody writing class.
