Innocence Of Youth celebrates 90s House music with “We’re Going Back To The Old School” (2026). An electrifying journey featuring Korg pianos and deep basslines.
The Inspiration: From Early Electronics to 90s House
Electronic dance music producer Innocence Of Youth, 29,originally from Cornwall, UK, has cultivated a deep passion for music since his youth. His career is rooted in 2011, when tracks like “Avicii – Levels” and “Avicii – Seek Bromance” on YouTube sparked his interest in electronic music.
Having already learned to play the guitar and fallen in love with music, he quickly shifted his dream towards becoming a DJ and producer. He experimented with FL Studio (music production software) for several months that winter, creating tracks for personal enjoyment, sharing them with friends, and regularly showing his progress to his siblings while still learning guitar.
The commitment deepened in September 2012 when he enrolled in a two-year college course at dBs Music at Camborne College, studying electronic music production and DJing. Here, he honed his craft under the guidance of some of the finest producers, DJs, and sound engineers in the South West. The journey from then until 2025 was a necessary period to truly master his art, to “find his sound”, and to produce tracks deemed ready for release and the stage. In 2025, he is profoundly inspired by the vibrant 90s dance scene, an era he admires for its energy, the sheer invitation to dance, and the undeniable feel-good factor.
The Birth and Structure of “We’re Going Back To The Old School”
2025 marks the release of “We’re Going Back To The Old School”, a track that masterfully pays homage to the 90’s House and Electronic genres. The piece was conceived in the early hours of a Sunday morning in November 2025, a session intensely inspired by 90s piano house.
The vital core of the track is a distinct Korg piano sound. All other layers, the deep bass, the rich harmonies, and the driving percussion, were meticulously built around this centerpiece, instantly giving the track that essential 90s “Piano house” vibe from the very first verse. The song features a powerful male vocal sample that steers the track, delivering that undeniableOld School 90s atmosphere, adding a unique modern twist is a beloved female gospel choir.
A Mix of Vintage Sounds and Modern Flare
In terms of intricate production, “We’re Going Back To The Old School” is propelled forward by deep, resonating basslines and a sharp, punchy kick drum. It generously incorporates classic 90s “flavors”, such as specific grooves from hi-hats, tops, and various percussive elements. Crucially, mid-range synthesizers fill out the mix to achieve that expansive, wide sound characteristic of a major festival anthem, perfect for headphone listening. This combination ensures the track takes the listener on a genuine journey, seamlessly blending authentic 90s sounds with a contemporary production finesse.
Passion Driving the Production
Innocence Of Youth openly declares that he creates music purely for enjoyment now, believing that this approach is the most effective; trying to force a song rarely, if ever, works. This spontaneity is evident in the track’s origins: the initial idea took shape at 4 AM on a Monday morning, and the demo was posted on Instagram and Soundcloud by 6 AM that same day.
The decision to finalize the track came after he and his brother listened to the demo during one of their early gym sessions, mutually agreeing it was worth completing. The result is a finished track, ready for release just three weeks later. The entire project is a powerful testament to his artistic dedication and growth, and Innocence Of Youth wishes to extend his deepest gratitude to his family and friends, whose tireless support made this, and all his music, possible.
