Looking for a producer to turn my songs into electronic tracks

I've written some pretty cool songs (lyrics+melody) that kinda want to be electronic songs? I don't have the tools/skills to produce them. Could learn, but instead... who wants to collaborate? I sing & give high-level creative direction, you make it a real track.

By "high-level creative direction" I mean things like 🎷 "I feel like this part wants a sax solo" 🥁 "Here's a beatboxed rough take of a drop after the first verse, can you make it with actual electronic drums?" ✨ "What if we did stutter edit here, like [demo]?"

I'm open to a wide range of how involved I would be, depending how many degrees of freedom you want. In some cases I've figured out chords, harmonies etc. In one case I recorded a whole multitrack demo with acapella & guitar & beatbox, but the audio quality is shit.

I did actually make an album, mostly-self-produced, at a studio in 2012, so I broadly know the deal with production, I just can't do it to a level I'm satisfied with, and I think now's not the time for me to take on a whole learning arc around that. maleidoscope.bandcamp.com

For an example of the kind of thing I can do on my own, here's something I made in audacity with zero special effects (the bass sound comes straight out of my throat) This is totally an example of something we could make a pro version of: soundcloud.com/maleidoscope/o…
