Laid Back 'White Horse' | How Two Guys from Copenhagen Made One of Most Addictive 80s Songs

Ever heard song and thought you knew what it meant, only to find out years later you were completely wrong? That's exactly what happened to with 'White Horse' by Laid Back. This time, reimagine one of most infectious tracks to come out of Denmark, song that made it to Billboard charts, resonated across Latin America and somehow still sounds like it was made in 2003. We break it down and recreate it from scratch using vintage synthesizers and Logic Pro. We explore how Tim Stahl and John Guldberg shaped this timeless synth-pop classic, uncovering synth setup and production techniques that made it iconic. Featuring Moog Voyager, Sequential Circuits Drumtraks with TR-808 EPROMs and Logic Pro for post-production.
