Hey guys wazzup? I thought I'd spread some light on my underground remix CD, Summer Anthems '09. Feel free to read & leave some feedback.
SOME WORDS ON THE ALBUM BY ME
The 1st remix created on this album was a raw version of Cyclone (DPX-ed Remix). It was just the beat with the vocals & dhol. I thought 'Why not add some more instruments & make it more of an original remix than just a plain one?". So then the dhadh got added and I showed it around to my friends and they went "heads over heels" for this mix. It got really popular really quick and then I thought, "Why not make a whole album that has some unique music?". And so this CD started to come to be.
The 2nd remix I made was actually Ice Cream Paint Job (Folk Remix). I changed the order around so the CD felt more balanced. This remix was meant to be a DJ Dips-inspired track. I tried to make it sound like Daru Peeke Nachda Rahu and I think I got pretty close with the EQ-ed dhadh. LOL. But the overall layout of the song is this. A fresh new hip-hop beat with some punjabi instruments & the Ice Cream Paint Job vocals. I hope a lot of people this one cause this is the song the Bay Area is listening to.
After I created the 2nd remix, I wanted to do something REALLY different. Something no one's ever done before. So while I was searching up rap vocals, I somehow came across a reggaeton song called Rah Rah. The lineup of the song had me stunned! 3 beastly Mexican rappers! Holy! So then I began the creation of the Rah Rah (Bhangraton Remix). The beginning of the song was a real challenge to make b/c the dhadh & the vocals @ the 'Rah Rah' phrase would always go off. The dembow beat wasn't fitting either so it took me about 1 day to get it set right. I added a fresh hip-hop loop with the dembox, which made the song sound really unique! But after the dhadh was added, I felt the mix was 'incomplete'. I thought of tumbi and wallah! A masterpiece! This is my personal favourite remix cause it's so catchy!
The 4th remix created was Got My Vans On (510 Remix). At first, I didn't even know there was a song called Got My Vans On. My friend showed it to me and he's like "Dude, you need to do a strictly hip-hop mix on this sh**). So then it was nailed down. This remix was created with 6-7 layers of new hip-hop beats. Yeh... you heard me. 6-7 beats. You can't really tell on your computer speakers but if you listen to this in the car, you'll hear almost EVERY hip-hop beat you've heard in a rap song put together. It's hardcore hip-hop so we called it 510 here.
The last remix was a fun one. It began with a YouTube search. I was looking through some old hip-hop songs and there I found this not-so-popular tune called Whatever U Like. I heard the beat and I was like wow! I need this tune! I found the original background music for the song but from there, I didn't know what to do. How do I make a sick remix that sounds new & unique with a 2007 tune? Punjabi vocals. There you go. I added some punjabi vocals from the song, Nachdi, by Dippa Dosanjh and listened to it. It sounded really dry without some rap. Then I remember how Dorrough Music was really popular down here in the Bay Area so I decided to use his new song, Caramel Sundae, in the mix. I latched it all together and it created a great masterpiece. The thing is, since this song is not-so-popular, the vocal & beat-matching sounds like it was made for each other. My bro got addicted to it and now he's listening to it everyday. Isn't that nice?
Oh and the song is titled Whatever U Like (Dub Remix).
I was quite sure 5 remixes would cut it but then I opened one of my old projects. It was this song from my previous mixtape called Rangla Punjab (Krazy Remix). I remembered how popular it got so I'm like "Let's do a version 2". So this version is pretty much a glossed out version of the one you heard on B.A.D. Unlike the one you heard before, this one has a different beginning & is dual-steroed, meaning you can hear the Krazy beat in both of your steroes. It was pretty easy to make and the end product sounded really nice.
Lastly, the intro, interludes & the outro. Basically, all of these are terminated projects. I could've continued them all but then they would be repetitive. If I had spent another 2 months on all of them, I could've had em done but I don't have enough time, as I am going on vacation.
Well, there you have it. It's the lowdown on Summer Anthems '09. Watch this thread: https://www.unp.me/f125/dpx-dj-dholsparx-summer-anthems-09-a-50398/.
Summer Anthems '09 is out exclusively on UNP in the Underground Music section from June 17th, 2009 @ 1pm PTZ.
