Lay All Your Love On Me (G-Works Sitting Duck Promo)

December 6, 2015

I love me some ABBA.  This is one of my fave tracks from their 1980 album Super Trouper. Warped this track to a steady 134 bpm, then added conga drums (think Tom Moulton), a new synth line, and used the intro as a break and outro.  About 8 minutes total.  Oh and don’t forget that […]

It’s Just Overkill

September 30, 2014

Wow, I have not done anything on this blog in a while.  Work, family, friends, and social media have all kept me pretty busy.  Especially the work part.  Sigh. I came across “Overkill” by Men At Work while flipping channels late one night (I think it was VH-1’s Classic 80’s).  I remembered liking this song […]

TAKE ON ME (The Volkswagen Remix)

January 11, 2014

So I saw the Volkswagen commercial again last night which featured their take on A-Ha’s “Take On Me”.  I remembered doing a remix a couple of months ago when I first saw that ad, using the multitrack.  Bounced a couple of tracks off each other and panned the tracks outward.  Remix is over 7 minutes […]

Stars on 45 featuring Donna Summer GMX

May 16, 2013

On this one year anniversary of Donna Summer’s passing, I am posting a megamix I put together of her pre-1980 tracks, using Stars on 45 as the springboard. Couldn’t really use the slower tracks like “Love To Love You Baby” and “Winter Melody”, nor the really fast ones like “No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)” […]

FRIENDS 2013

April 22, 2013

I’m craving some new Donna Summer material. Since that ain’t gonna happen, I’ve decided to look to the past for some inspiration for the present. “Friends” is one of the tracks from Donna Summer’s debut album, “Lady Of The Night”, released back in 1974 in the Netherlands. I chose this particular track because of the […]

I Started A Joke

November 10, 2012

From the Pet Shop Boys “Winner” E.P. comes this remake of the Bee Gees track.  This is my regrooved version, with new percussion, samples, and additional production.  Clocks in at about 6:09, and is a great tribute to Robin Gibb.

An Everlasting Love

January 18, 2011

Andy Gibb.  Teen idol.  All teeth and feathered hair.  Much like his contemporaries o’ the day (Leif Garrett, Shaun Cassidy, John Travolta). An Everlasting Love – slightly tweaked.  p.s. – am I the only one who thinks Andy Gibb and Heath Ledger look somehow related?

ALWAYS ON MY MIND [Revisited]

September 2, 2010

One of my all-time favourite PSB tracks. I built this mix up from the vocal-and-synth dub version. Kicks, percussion, bass, piano riffs, and additional samples. Enjoy!

PEG [Revisited]

September 2, 2010

No, this Steely Dan song is not about Peggy Bundy, but I guess it could be.  Greg inspired me take on this song, so here it is, re-edited, with a new bassline, kicks, percussion, sax bits, and click-y guitars.

STONEY END [Revisited]

September 1, 2010

Oy gevaldt! Early seventies Streisand. Before Jon Peters gave her that curly bouffant. I tweaked the original with new percussion and synth lines. The first part of the track is the original Babs song, and the last part is just the synth overdubs. The hardest part were the wandering bpm’s, but I think it came […]
