Read his introduction below:
I learned how to produce by doing remixes. It was my testing ground. In 20061 had been DJing for over 10 years and my brother Dave was a seasoned musician, but I was still a novice it the studio. Making a full original song can be daunting. so here I was able to hand-pick my favourite vocals, steal a few kickdrums and chop up some cool synths. My remixes also allowed me to get my music heard. I didn't have to finish a full project. They gave me an a La carte formula, landing on various labels.
The great thing about remixes is they create an ecosystem. It's almost like a shared economy. They forge bonds between artists: a remix request is the equivalent of giving your peer a pound and saying you're dope, give me some of that saucer They connect bands to DJs. producers among themselves, and all of them to new fans. For me this all started as electronic music dogs were spreading. We rarely went through managers. You would track down someone's email and hit them up. cold. We helped each other finish tracks. I often delivered mine very, very late. But even to this day as I work on more original music, my sound is the result of these experiments.
