Due to the fact that I appeared on over 50 records during 1995 and another 50 during 1996, there were little time to do music which was not scheduled to be released.
But I needed a house-version to play out of “Infinite Mass-Mah Boyz” when it was climbing the charts. The record company was not interested to create any demand for a house-version, due to the fact that they tried to market Infinite Mass as “real hip-hop”, so there were no intentions of getting this released.
A very tricky remix to do.
It is a mixture of “James Brown-Soul Power” and “Maceo & The Macks-Soul Power ’74” which in fact are the musicians in the band of James Brown, so both these recordings is sounding the same. “Soul Power ’74” is the saxophone-version of the track.
Instead of having a fixed tempo, I made Cubase follow these recordings instead, which varied from 104 up to 110 BPM. That synchronisation took almost a week on it’s own. Check it out!
The Pierre J-Mash-Up-Remix is based on;
Heavy D & The Boyz-Now That We Found Love
Snap!-Mary Had A Little Boy (Dance Version) (Club Edit)
DJ Dick-Weekend (Instrumental)
PKA-Let Me Hear You (Say Yeah) (Bass Bins At Dawn Mix)
Run DMC-Peter Piper
Loleatta Holloway-Love Sensation (Acapella)
Afrika Bambaataa-Just Get Up And Dance (A Capella Mix)
C + C Music Factory-Things That Make You Go Hmmmm (Club Mix)
Pierre J is playing the baseline from his Roland TB-303 that got sampled into his Ensoniq sampler.
The classic track gets a nice treatment.
This remix is based on the following songs;
Honesty 69-French Kiss (Hot Maxi Version)
R H C (Rising High Collective)-Fever Called Love
Jungle Brothers-I’ll House You (Houseapella) (A House Is Not A Hut)
The Bass Boyz-Lost In The Bass (Bad Boy Bill’s Mix)
The Art Of Noise-Beat Box (Diversion One)
The Todd Terry Project-Bango (To The Batmobile)
The Todd Terry Project-Back To The Beat
Pierre J is playing the “Solid Bass”-sound on his DX-100 and the vocal-phrase in the end is nicked from a Paris album.
Popular Swedish song from 1961 gets an extra boost and the possibility to mix it.
(Due to Soundcloud, it starts after 20 seconds)
Här från tidigt 80-tal återfinns synt, italo disco, electro och annan för tiden populär dansmusik. Själv är jag mellan 10-13 år när jag skaffar dessa skivor och jag diggar det syntetiska soundet stenhårt.
Vid denna tid och ålder så drömde jag om att kunna mixa, men hade varken kunskap eller prylarna. Det närmsta jag kom DJ-utrustning var i produktkataloger som jag läste på kvällarna. Men drömma kunde jag…
Denna mixen gjordes 2007 men med gammal teknik, dvs live från 2 stycken 1200-grammofoner och en mixer. Låtarna går inte rakt i takt och är därför väldigt svåra att mixa ihop, så det är långt ifrån perfekt. Själva mixen användes till ett av mina P3-dans-program som sändes samma år.
