Hopefully, not literally. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/mc-jack-in-the-box/ It’s been a while since the last time I did this… The full title of the mix is “With Apologies To The Saxophone Player, For The Obvious Reasons”. After completely excising the sax from the mix, I went back and had another listen. That’s when I determined ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/john-ingram/ http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/dff-sound-system/ Mostly used the original tracks, just turned some of them around and added a few fx (and made it a wee wee bit quicker). I should do this more often. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/rinkydink/ I performed a lot of unnecessary surgery on the source tracks. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/undesirable/ And here’s number 2. This one went quick. Once I knew what kind of mix this’d be, without vocals, I felt free to throw out the old tempo and create my own. These two mixes, while the concepts were already in my head, were strengthened by the influence ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/artemis-strong/ Great loops to work with, although at first I was daunted by their seeming complexity, but when I got them boiled down to bits of manageable size it became real easy to mix n’ match. The first mix I be sending you is entitled “Closing the Bar Down with Lux ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/artemis-strong/ Had a lot of fun with this one! http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/retroniks/ To be played late at night “in da club”. Be warned, it’s pretty long. Source + some extra beats. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/rewind/ I wasn’t going to include this since I used it to shill the fight over on the mixter but i figured what the hell. Bring up the rear with it. Featuring Jason Brock unknowingly doing falsetto. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/mc-jack-in-the-box/ I’ve always wanted to do a “rock instrumental” song in the style of Booker T. & the M.G.’s and such. I figured Victor’s excellent samples were my opportunity to make that a reality, so here it is. The title was suggested by my friend Mark. He had ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/heuristics-inc/ So there i am, cracking out the old beats, keeping it mellow yet (hopefully) funky still. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/dff-sound-system/ And here we go with the last of the mohicans…This one strays the farthest from the source, where I basically just kept the bpm and time signature (sort of) and used I think one of the original files to flesh it out. The rest is mostly tiny snippets of other ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/artemis-strong/ Source, FX and 808. Ritchie Hawtin it ain’t. I don’t really have an 808 (sniff!) so it’s samples, but we’re no purists here, right? http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/rewind/ This is a very vanilla, very straightforward arrangement type deal with some droning stuff added. It’s actually where I continued with the first mix after dumping the entire concept and starting fresh, just carrying over one or two of the sounds I was creating for that one. The biggest ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/artemis-strong/ Features chubbychasers doing the vocals. http://www.remixfight.org/fights/funk-construction-kit/ This first mix I send is also my first attempt at fourstones’ source. The piece began sounding a bit like the opening credits to a 70’s film (maybe an exploitation pic, or maybe something like John Cassavetes) so I treated it as such, adding bits of dialogue to spice ... http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/artemis-strong/ Hope you laugh. http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/teru/ http://www.remixfight.org/remixers/retroniks/
