Tina Chanting

2023-05-29T21:50:00.002-04:00

I have been doing some experiments with remixing and just fun playing with sound for the past 20 years. This has been more of a labor of love and see it more as a hobby. I don't consider myself a composer nor a musician but my love of music and the technology has allowed me to be bold and trying new ways to express ideas. This track was taken from an interview segment from Larry King Live on the topic of Buddhist chanting. Tina Turner is explaining the power of chanting as way to align the chakras and get the wheels turning by getting in "tune" to a higher power. I added an original score to go along with it. Enjoy

Happy Birthday Frankie Knuckles and Martin Luther King

2021-01-18T19:18:00.002-05:00

Frankie Knuckles, Jan 18th, 1955.

It's a tradition today that I would be recovering from an 8 hr. dance marathon from attending the yearly Body & Soul's Martin Luther King celebration dance event. Obviously didn't happen, so instead of sharing the previous night's events. I'm sharing this amazing Frankie Knuckles Tribute mix created by Tedd Patterson. When I was a grad student at Parson's, I will make my pilgrimage every Friday to the Sound Factory Bar and hear his live sets. It was church and it was home. Last time I was lucky to hear him play live was at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center in 2012. I recalled it was a very intimate party for Bears. Unforgettable! Happy Birthday! Life is Something Special!

Ok...going out on a limb here. Brian Eno's music has always hit a nerve. Here is remix using his song Top Boy (Series 1) with a nice backbeat I created. Don't even ask me about the cover...lol. There is a Paula White version too..lol.

The Ha Dance

2020-10-22T19:21:00.000-04:00

I've always wanted to toy around this seminal voguing anthem "The Ha Dance" by Masters At Work and see the possibilities. Added some strings for dramatic effect and the all so famous house chants from Kraze's "The Party" Enjoy!

I Want You / Fever

2020-10-20T23:20:00.020-04:00

I don't normally remix Madonna much but this one was calling my name upon hearing recently her mid 90's compilation CD of ballads "Something To Remember". Her cover of Marvin Gay's "I Want You" wasn't so bad and I'm pleased how it's holds up pretty well thus this remix segueing into her other famous cover of "Fever".

Enjoy,

One Day!

2020-09-17T18:21:00.004-04:00

Here is a birthday post. A new one called "One Day" inspired by Fingers Inc. "A Path" as the base from the beats here. Very house 1986 when Robert Owens was serving some fierce vocals over house beats. This version is very heavy on the ambient side. Enjoy!

and here is the original version mostily with some minor diversions. enjoy!
