@nop’s sense of beat and hypnotic mixing of source blends together here in a tapestry rich with wanderlust and longing. DirtWire meets Moby “Along the Lakeside”

Airtone adds his magic to the beautiful vocals of Debenedictis and takes us back to a time when AM radio was king and a song that Stevie Nicks might have done.

Love the feel and flow of this one!

Tobias Weber(Aussensaiter) is a very good guitarist and producer. With the voice of song boy, he created a wonderful soul track. Listen to “Come Back 2 Me”.

Martijn de Boer takes Surrender and makes it one heck of an epic song. Snowflake’s vocals are cushioned in with the music to give it that layered 80’s sound. It reminds me of a Bonnie Taylor singing along to a Jan Hammer beat.

Kudos.

Okay Sherman set the way back machine to the late 70’s or early 80’s when synth-pop was born.

Karstenholymoly not only takes me back to the days of when I was transitioning from teen to adult. When my world was young and foolish and dancing up a storm in little clubs.

It get’s a definite thumbs up from me.

Sit down in your car or whatever you drive. Put the pedal to the metal and listen to Admiral Bobs “Sakura Blossom”. It´s a must listen for all rock fans.

You’re My Muse from Leeds, England lays down a driving Atomic City USA beat in this classic rock and radio remix of Stefan Kartenburg’s Talk To Me. Smokin! It’s a blast!

I am thrilled to select “The Code of My Heart” remix by gurdonark as my first editorial pick on CCmixter. This off kilter refrain is an example of the alchemy inherent to the mixter mission.

Derived from two samples by speck, this track creates an original and ethereal mood by weaving a syncopated motif into a free floating ostinato. This track will pair nicely with other elements in a mix.

For me “The Code of My Heart” evokes fond musical memories of guitarists Bill Frissell, Robert Fripp, or Andy Summers in the way a short idea is given freedom to wander in effortless self-examination.

This composition also caught my attention in its explicit effort to comment on our “Crack the Code” theme for this event. I give gurdonark props for making a gesture towards human vulnerability with this heartfelt contribution.

Snowflake’s entry into the “Crack The Code” remix event presents a top notch mix of vocals over great samples of Audio Abstract. This is truly a listener’s delight!

It’s a pretty groovy sound here. A kind of song you want to have playing full blast in your car as you are cruising down town on a Saturday Night.

Energetic hip-hop reggae with biting vocals, catchy beats, and a jumping melody. Quarkstar’s remix of irieweb537 featuring Ms. Vybe’s rap is a must listen.

Prepare yourself for a deeply rhythmic, ecstatic journey through sound with “Altar” from 7OOP3D! Featuring over a dozen tracks from Mana Junkie, this track begs you put on your seatbelt, and will not disappoint.

Take a moment… take a deep breath… and let yourself feel the deep wistful melancholy of airtone’s beautiful, emotionally stirring remix of Darkroom.

In the mood for alternative rock worthy of radio play? Stefan Kartenberg delivers a powerful hit with “In Your Face”, featuring the strong vocals of Brad Sucks (digging the F-bomb). A must listen.

RamseySounds marries strong, driving electronica with Mandyleigh Storm’s attention grabbing, soulful singing of Keep the Silence. Enjoy this well crafted feel good music. Gonna make ya sit up straight!
