FRIDAY SPECIAL: REEEEMMMIIIIIIXXX!

On Fridays I’m going to start posting something different or special. Since my original intention for this site was to be a bit of a self promotional project as well as a podcast, it seems only fitting to dedicate a day to trying somethin gnew. As time progresses I hope to be posting up short mixes as well – but for now i’m offering up some recent remixes/re-edits I’ve been toying around with. Mostly, I just do this stuff for fun and it never actually sees the light of day. I’ve recently purchased Serato though, so I have a feeling this may be changing. It’s time to start giving up the good.
First, Strobelite Sheila. I’ve had this song in my head every day since I started working on this one a week ago. I hope karmically this will release me. It’s a blend of Ready For The World and a chopped version of Black Sheep’s Strobelite Honey with some extra stuff thrown in. I’ve been playing this one way too much.
Next is the very club friendly sounding mix of Run DMC’s My Adidas over the Vans beat (a guilty pleasure track). I didn’t really spend too much time on this one, I just really though the concept was funny. Also, I didn’t have the instrumental of the Vans cut at the time, so I wound up chopping and filtering the song then programming the drums from scratch. Regardless, it bumps!
I do plan on eventually trying these out at my local residency, so if you happen to be in San Diego, swing through Landlord Jim’s and keep your ears peeled.

NOTE: These are by no means mastered or final products. If you’re interested in them for any reason aside from listening pleasure, hit me up.
ANOTHER NOTE: Strobelite Sheila was update on 12/20/06 with a better mixed file – grab it!

Hey,
I found your site from the hollerboard.
I really like your version of strobelite sheila. I would like to play both tracks out at my spot with serato, so if you’ve got a polished version of them, that would be great.
Do you use soulseek or trade remixes with any other program?
Thanks.

[...] Since my last edition, I’ve been choppin away at new edits and remixes practically every week. This is probably one of the most fun aspects of Serato that’s changed how I DJ – the ability to crank out tracks and play them out right away. It’s really been inspirational in a sense and had made me want to produce more (which is nice, since I’ve felt I’ve been in a slump). So, I’m givin up the goods once again. My motivation has recently been wanting to create more dancefloor friendly versions tracks to play out at my local weekend spot. Now, none of these are production wonders, and some are just flat out acapellas over other cuts – but hell, they’re funky and I figured I’d share. Enjoy! [...]

the base track in the sheila remix is from the SOS band song “take your time (do it right” from their ‘80 album S.O.S.
