Very cool remix. The rhythm of drums and bass are straight, but the bubble organ has swing. It creates odd authenticity to the mix. It’s weird, but it works very well. ;)

Cool, I guess because the drums and bass were done a while ago and I recently added a bunch of other tracks, I wonder if the old ones were quantized or something.

A really good blend of reggae and hip hop sounds, which is a good treatment for the vocals.

Since the vocals don’t have that reggae cadence, the hip hop accents kind of musically “explain” that.

Really good stuff!

haha..that’s so funny. I think that thought actually crossed my mind at some point. Like… this doesn’t work, what are you thinking….I think it works…splain yourself : )

Hey Scomber, thanks! You’ve chosen the most stable structure of thumbs up. It has a low center of gravity and cannot tip easily. If you put pressure on any thumb it will only increase the tensile strength : )

How do you get your sound so natural???!? Sounds like a perfect live recording! Help me understand that! Great remix!

Hey thank you for the compliment! A lot of this is live recording. I use Ableton Live and I try not to warp or quantize too much, actually I try not to sequence either. A lot of the drums usually are though which is what made this track so odd, the drums did not groove or swing enough, especially when there are so many other tracks that were just played without any groove or quantize at all.

Also helps that I use a lot of analog and vintage stuff. Best way to keep it real is to keep it real…lol

I like to mix it up though, analog and digital; some things you get from one that you can’t from the other.

You´re welcome, Jeris. And thanks very much for explaining in detail. Didn´t know that it was possible!!! I have a lot of respect for that, makes it even much more trickier and difficult!
