Mixes

A simple mix to a show on Swedish National Radio, where we both, Stakka Bo and myself, took part in.

This is the last, number 8, in the Absolute Dance Remix-series.

Wild Rock was a popular compilation which was released on Mercury and when Wild Rock 2 was launched, it was time for a medley of songs from these two collections. We are talking about  rock songs in radio versions that fades after 3 minutes, which is a nightmare to mix together.

In the first draft, I used the drums from “The Balroom Blitz” during  “Sweet Home Alabama,” which sounded very good and also masked the somewhat dodgy time stretch that existed at that time. The record company thought it was a little too much “remix” so these drums were simply removed and the drums now started together with the chorus instead.

This is the mix that never went public.

Absolute Dance Remix 7 in order and there is a story. For what no one knows is that this is one of two mixes that were made. This one, who got released, is the “euro-mix”. The second mix, “house-mix” was never released, but more about that in the next post.

4 hours of mixed ambient music.

Official mix for the best selling compilation-brand ever in Sweden, “Absolute”. Their compilations was on top of the charts every time.

Svea Kafé was a program broadcasted on Swedish National Radio and the predecessor to P3 Mix.
