Phantogram - Jealousy (MAKIS remix)
One morning early in November, I was having coffee in my hotel room listening to the latest Phantogram album. It popped up naturally, this idea, to remix "Jealousy" like an old-school breakbeat song. A few weeks later I was able to act upon it. All the elements were already there... I just had to...

Alexis Krauss AI - Sappy (vocals stem) [TEST Nirvana cover]
2023-10-04 Yesterday, I came back from the beach with the idea to create an AI model of Alexis Krauss. Spend a few hours with it and had fun generating this Nirvana cover. Rough cut, unrefined. Still... how is this not a real song?! Today, I have to admit - I can't stop thinking how I can play…

Can't forget that dream
The idea behind this song was to use Snoop Dogg's voice as an instrument rather than a vocal. As so, don't pay attention to the lyrics. The vocals have been reduced to sounds mostly. Instead, try to appreciate the soundscape without any attachment to the words. From that perspective, the song is...

Dark Necessities
I saw a live performance of the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" playing this song and I thought it sounded better live than the more clean, funk production of the original recording. So I spent some time combining the covers of a few people into one, more rock, more grungy version. Initially it was just...

Not falling in love
The purpose of a remix is to shine a different light on the original concept of a song, if not re-invent it to an alternative concept. Such is the case with this version of the song. I'm pretty happy this creation broke through the boundaries of the original funk/disco song and what's produced is…

The truth is sold out (Extended mix)
As a bonus, a second version of the remix "The truth is sold out" is included at the end of the Remixes vol.1 set. It is practically the same song extended by a few minutes. I'm only releasing it because I didn't feel it deserved to be lost in a vault. Source: "Sometimes" by DJ Aphrodite feat....

The Button
A fun song with a simple concept: stretching the moment of tension before pressing "the button". What happens next is left to the imagination. Classic big beat song, a definite homage, while sampling one of the greats. Source: "Galvanize" by the Chemical Brothers

Make it up
Samples Source: "Come Back Clean" by The Crystal Method feat. Emily Haines This is probably one of the most incoherent songs I've ever produced, yet definitely real to the bone. It's meant to have a live performance feel to it, which I think was preserved intact. Underneath the surface, it's a...

Down like Disco
I was excited to do this remix for "The Dandy Warhols", being one of my favorite bands, and really loved the original concept of the song. The statement here was to make the parallel between Disco and Breakbeat, in the hopes that electronic music doesn't follow the same path... Source: "Down like...

Dubstep 90210
My first attempt to do something dubstep - I was in LA and it felt interesting to work on this tune - it has some good moments :)

Don't ask me where I've been
An "all-star" remix, exercising my favorite habit of changing the rhythm mid-way, a lot. Catchy tunes, awesome rhyming and a few good transitions make the mixing all worthwhile. Source: "Spirit of Apollo" album by N.A.S.A.

Fell out of the sky
In the 80's, as a kid, I moved across the world to start a new life, with irreversible effects to my psyche. Coincidence or not, I connect with the original song on a personal level. There is something about the structure of this song that just seems karmic; every new beat is first introduced by...

Origins Unknown
It doesn't happen often, but sometimes, when you hear a song you immediately see its potential. The basic idea here was to keep the structure of the original and simply make it more rhythmical; by adding a fat baseline and a break beat. I wanted to preserve the energy and pace of the original...

The truth is sold out
A departure from the original Soul/R&B song to create another "alternate universe" remix that seems to have its own credibility, as it stands quite well as a breakbeat song in its own right. On the technical side, I slowed down the rhythm and added some extra beats. I like the structure, with a...
