I fell in love with Fox Machine Gun's (which is really just Cobalt Rabbit goes breakbeat) I feel in love with his song "Absolute" which is the come down of his first album "Dualistic". I asked for the stems and he kindly obliged, curious about what I was going to do with it. Even I was curious.
I took the stems and had my way with them. I never try to be as creative as possible, I never try to top the original. I treat stems like I do any other sample. And thus you have something that sounds original, yet remains a cousin to its counterpart.
I consider this remix the greatest piece of music I've composed yet.
The first part is influenced by Anwar Louis.
The middle is influenced by... I dunno, liking that type oh shit.
The end with the piano is influenced by DJ Shadow's last couple of minutes of his set in Oxford UK. Those intentional driving piano chords..
the original is AMAZING
