Brass Knuckle Evangelists - Satin Money (blancodisco acid dub disco sludge remix) Official Single Released across various streaming platforms... The heaviest-weight version of the set: same disciplined groove logic, but with a thicker, grittier pressure profile—“sludge” as in density and mass, not chaos. It stays credible and restrained, avoiding gimmicks; the tension comes from sustained weight and controlled movement rather than big arrangement events. Use this when you want Satin Money to feel more physical on a system—an anchor remix that can hold the room steady while you mix around it. Background: In coming up with a concept for this remix, I wanted to preserve as MUCH of the original parts and only embellish with a few of my own added parts. First, the classic Linn Drum Machine enters with samples coming out of a Roland TR-8S with only a few simple pattern/variations programmed and jammed live mainly on high hat decay times for increasing intensity. Second is a recently DIY'd re-issue of the Dreadbox NYX that I wanted to put into use due to its rich full ballsy oscillator and Creamy Filter that Dreadbox is known for. For this part, I simply tuned the synth to a G note and rode the filter up and down on a drone. Near the end of the improvised pass, I added a little LFO modulation to the filter to give a bit more off-kilter rhythmic feel. Finally, at the end, instead of the Metal Guitar Jam and Chaotic Drum climax, I swap in one of my TB-303 remakes, the Cyclone Analogic Bassbot MK2 for another quirky non conforming pattern size on a single pattern with classic open and closing of the Filter Resonance Env Mod and Decay controls for a classic Acid style. In respect to the original parts, I've included almost every stem that was provided, but opted from a creative standpoint to go with a more Dub/Reggae almost vibe and dropped the lead vocals which was common in 80s 12" remixes to do some sort of tripped out mix focusing on an altered arrangement and chopped up portions of the audio. Running almost every track with massive amounts of Roland RE-201 Tape Delay emulation, lends to a very spacey tripped out mix. Filling the mix by doing more with less. For the slower Sludge remix, I purposely dropped the tempo down as it added a more trippy, hypnotic groovy feel. Slowing things down can sometimes do wonder to the sound of audio. The original remix is preserved at the Original Tempo and clearly has a more driving feel, but I can't decided which version I like more. They are the same thing, just different tempo. Which do you prefer? I enjoyed this project and actually want to create at least one more remix variation, but straying away from the core cuts of the track and making something a bit more original with snippets of audio from the original. Something more future vs. one with the past.
