I wasnt sure where to put this, so I started a new thread. Understandably this wont be to a lot of peoples tastes in The Strut, but if you are like me a working dj that does occasionally use digital media then this may interest you as all files are downloadable and despite the very basic cover art, the standard I found was quite high. I remixed the Stetsasonic track as I always wanted to hear it done in a different context, it didnt finish exactly how I wanted it to initially (I had actually intended to do a hard bop version, but I just couldnt get it to work). I avoided going for the overly compressed and clean sound (you can hear all the crackles from the record I sampled), bt I am fairly happy with how it worked out. Some of my friends also submitted some great remixes and edits, I hope you find something you enjoy.

I few Sydney heads that I DJ with on the regular were involved in this!
The line up was great, some of the guys I had heard of before (I remember seeing dj soup at a gig here in 1994!!!! and have always liked his production), and some of the guys I hadnt but I have been getting heaps of value out of this at gigs lately.
Loved the first and 3rd beats!!
First has a portishead/trip hop feel and the 3rd has a great library/cop vibe!
Got a new setup and changed up my working method a bit. Sequenced in Ableton using Kontakt/Reaktor/Battery and a handful of plugins. No samples to speak of, all the drums are VST (which I was always wary of in the past, but with the right effects on them I'm happy these days) as are the other bits.
a quick compilation of 3 beats from a few months back
I enjoyed that a lot man, thanks for sharing

Tell the dude that [strong]Dr[/strong] Spock was a guy who wrote books giving parents advice on how to look after new born babies. [strong]Mr[/strong] Spock was that guy who did car commercials and a pop song about Bilbo Baggins.
This is really good. I have a particular friend who loves this song and is going to flip when he hears this.
Thanks!

Really nice!
I've been doing some remixes from time to time with a good friend. I heard SC is removing remixes left and right though, so no idea how long this will remain online.
I've been working on this for the last couple days. Not sure if it's done, gonna come back to it.
edit: Made some changes plus a wurlitzer lead
Let's hear it with the wurli!
Wow! Amazing work there.
Grimey!
Thanks Harvey!
Funny you should mention that. I played around with a long 808 kick and then a sub tone but couldn't get it right and then gave up. Maybe i'll give it another go. Thanks for the feedback!
New jam with video playing lead guitar. Might cut this shorter/ produce it more later.
Nice!
