Here’s a big beat remix for Kylie Minogue’s smash hit of 2005 (?) “Slow.” I made it using Acid Pro 5, and a whole bunch of loops and VSTi’s. I’ve always had an affection for her music. Possibly it’s the beats in her tracks, but also it’s the perky personality of the singer. Gotta love someone with the panache to move her career from “Locomotion” all the way to “Can’t Get You Out Of My Head.”

Remix: My Parasol – Spacetalk (Acid42 GritMix)
This is a remix of a lovely tune entitled “Spacetalk” by the duo My Parasol, (one half of which is Spazzkid). I slowed it down to 100 BPM, and added a whole bunch of dirty, gritty drum loops, distortion, and a few softsynths for bass, electric piano and organ pad.
Remix: Moon in the Man – Riding On A Beach (Acid42 Battlemix)
Here’s an old file from the vaults. This remix was done back in 1999/2000 when I was first learning the Acid Pro software and cutting my teeth on the sound editing software Sound Forge. I downloaded a zip file of tracks from the artist Moon In The Man, and remixed his tune to sound like a sweeping but aggressive battle soundtrack. I seem to have used a lot of stutter edits and effects processing on some parts. The end result was something I was very happy with.
Collaboration with Cocolulu on the “Panda Extravaganza” Remix
Manila-based musician Cocolulu (AKA Spazzkid)(aka Mark Redito) is releasing an E.P. on my QED RECORDS, and one of his compositions “Panda Extravaganza” caught my ear so to speak. I felt like doing a remix, but he lost his assembly files and only has the final MP3 of the song. So, I built up his track from scratch using Reason, and played with the sounds a bit, and then sent the file to him. Cocolulu added on to it some more and moved sections around. I got the file back and added a few more touches.
Cover: Burning Down The Haus
I borrowed a live concert DVD of one of my favorite ’80s pop-rock groups Talking Heads. The DVD titled Stop Making Sense inspired me to come up with a cover version of their 1985 hit song, “Burning Down The House,” except with software and big beautiful electropop beats.
Track: Hymn of College Of Saint Benilde (electropop remix)
Presenting the Hymn of De La Salle -College of Saint Benilde, given an electropop/hiphop spin by yours truly (with a touch of neo-classical in the bridge). Of course you realize all these genre labels sound cool, but that I’m really just making those terms up, right? Hahahahaha!!!!
