I may have gone a little crazy with sample usage on this one. :)

At the very least, I broke a personal record for most tracks (24!) in a single song. Practicing restraint was difficult as I kept wanting to build and build on this one. As such, I don’t really know how to categorize/tag this remix.

A lot of different elements ended up in the final cut (and even more before I started trimming down). From my Secret Mixter assignment, KarmaHacker, I took a rhythmic bass loop, 3 drum loops, a zither sample, a sitar sample, a record scratch sample, and snippets of 3 of KarmaHacker’s own remixes. The vocal hook is from KCentric. State Shirt and snowflake provided some extra vocal layers, and finally I got the sax sample from debbizo. The rest you can blame on me. :)

So, I think I’m gonna take snowflake’s advice, put on my thick skin, and say that any and all constructive criticism is welcome and appreciated! Especially of the mixing/mastering/FX variety - I still feel very much like an amateur in those areas.

I’ll post stems eventually and maybe sooner if someone explicitly asks for them.
