PARANOiD DJ - ’Get Hooked (Valentino’s Deal)’ (Hazbin Hotel Pilot)

BUY/STREAM THE SONG: Bandcamp: iTunes: Spotify: Apple Music: A brand new original song centred around the moth pimp himself, Valentino, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, voice acted story and artwork. Every good villain needs a song in the Hellaverse and Valentino is no exception. With the potential for this character to be one of the primary antagonistic forces in the show, I wanted to construct a song that would show the things he can tempt his workers and clients with while also making it clear that he expects obedience and respect in exchange. Framing it around upstaging his best star, just to prove a point that he is the one people want to associate with, seemed just so ’Val’. To that end, in the wake of my last two original songs being more than a little emotionally charged, I wanted to make something fun, energetic and dripping with Val’s ego. The result is something that is heavily rooted in my specialty of electronic music production, coupled with sound design to really give a sense of where Val is performing. A lot of Val’s vocals were recorded multiple times and processed to make it sound like he’s speaking in multiple directions at once, truly getting under people’s skin to get them “hooked“. And the featured vocalist who he forces to take part in his little upstaging act should be no stranger to people who have listened to Val perform music on this channel before... And lastly, all of my thanks and praise to the wonderful MaaTheDino for helping me with the artwork for this project. As someone who draws Val so perfectly in multiple other works, the art they provided really captured the setting, the ego and sense of threat that I was intending when making it.
