Resolutions remix for Tarantic...
Finished Dub Rotation. We'll see what the release schedule is for that, but it will be out on Jah Love in some sort of digital form, I suspect.
Ivan and I started a new remix for Tarantic called Resolutions. The original track was a slower tune (somewhere's around 110 BPM if memory serves)... We decided to try a somewhat slower BPM remix of the track. Turns out we settled for 120 BPM, which is slower than our standard 125 BPM, but not so slow as to be considered a down tempo track.
We also wanted to try our hand at a bit more electro-ish House. In four total sessions, we have nearly completed the track and dare I say (all hail the broken record) this is one of my favs. Nice smooth synth pads, some really interesting electro-rhythmic textures. Solid beat foundation. And we were able to work a compressor/expander combo with sidechain to get a nice deep (with a titch of funkiness) bassline. Overall, very happy with our progress.
That means it's taken us four 3 hour sessions to pretty much complete a track. Our fastest yet. And we both agree that the level of our productions is increasing.
We re-tooled Blessed Dub with some vocals that Jah Rootz from Thievery Corporation recorded for Mike Tea at Jah Love Recordings. We're honored to have them to play around with, and Tarantic should be releasing "Blessed Dub vocal remix" soon.
We are working on a MySpace page for B-Side Dub (the official name of our collaboration project) and I will post the details here once completed.
