If you could get access to the original masters and remix any song what would it be? Its an open question but I am thinking mostly in terms of remixing older non techno / electronic music into techno / electronic music.
The one day I was doing something and realized that I had a melody of a voice running through my head but I didn't know the words, I didn't know the song, but the music was in my head. It was just one of those things... some song I heard in my youth that I knew but didn't know.
It took me like a month to find out what it was. Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush. My mother used to have a Kate Bush cassette tape and that was where I had heard it from. I probably haven't heard that song in 10-15 years. How crazy is that? One day its just running though my head. Strange how the mind works. I poked around today I found a few remixes of that song out there. At this point in time that would be my pick to remix.
If you could remix any song...

Re: If you could remix any song...
good one. that song seems to have had a resurgence in popularity on the past couple of years with some truly horrendous cover versions. but i think that the dance floors of 2009 can use some Fairlight. do an edit.Shepherd_of_Anu wrote:

my pick? jocko homo by devo. i'd leave out most of the goofy vocals, but there's a great psychedelic flanger guitar breakdown near the end that could benefit from an extended rework.
word! there's a few depeche mode songs id love to remix, especially 'everything counts.'anizz wrote:anything Depeche Mode
also, my grandmother used to sing in this like doo wop cover group. they did this really old song and her voice is amazing in it. its a really like poppy upbeat happy track and i keep having these ideas of taking her vocals and chopping them up and distorting them to all hell and turning it into a dark ass minimal track, lol.
here's the original, this isnt her singing in it

There's a version of the album online that comes with "Everything Counts (Long Version)" at the end. It's actually only about a minute long, and it's just the vocals and one synthesizer... would be pretty easy to remix as a near acapella.Depre wrote:word! there's a few depeche mode songs id love to remix, especially 'everything counts.'
