Before you ask, the vocal came from AI. I liked it, the lyrics and tone are good. Originally, it was part of a downtempo, lounge song, so I beefed it up, added a growly bass, elements and drops and you've got this.

I wanted something a little Jerome Sydenham - Sandcastles, or Swimming Places by Julien Jabre. I can't say I've got that at all, but you can possibly see the influences nonetheless.

In The Air

This track is a remix of a folk song by Caio Klin. I found the vocal and his version on a popular AI music site. I quite enjoyed what he'd made and he was inviting remixes. Most of the remixes I found were folksy versions; regurgitations of his original work. This, well, it's different and trying to edge it toward danceable. It's very commercial, but look, I remixed Phil Collins once, so I know no bounds to the level of commercialism I will plunge to.

Is it for a nightclub? Err, no. This is for the car after the nightclub perhaps. Or maybe the bath the next day. Either way, loved the big piano stomps and some of the synths later in the track.

Fake Love Story

Oh, how I love [Linus Loves VH1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wovvcqgl8OM). It went seemingly unnoticed in 2006 on their Stage Invader album. Using the Fleetwood Mac Big Love sample, it was an example of amazing synth work. This version doesn't do too much to it, because hell you can't get much better. What it does do is delay the drop massively and the first minute has been squeezed of gratifying sub and bass so that drop slaps you right in the gob. Lots of chops and re-introduction of the original Big Love sample rounds this quick dash back to 2006.


The creation of this subtle remix was a complete accident. I wanted the main hook and breakdown from Jose Amnesia's Eternal; my absolute favourite trance track. I wanted that energy and melody in a house version. Originally, this was going to be a house track, with the Eternal melody being replayed, but I dropped a Volt - Sandcastles accapella in accidentally and boop; this became the result - sort of an EDM cross over. It runs at 130, but it isn't a house track really and is firmly still trance (albeit slow trance).


Eternal Sandcastles

The original 1999, released in January 1999, sampled Donna Summer's Hurt Just A Little, it also (apparently) sampled a porn film. This remake was done several years ago and I find it a little raw. The kick and percussion is a little heavy and it's a bit too long, but I do like the extended Donna Summer sample and a number of the jackin' elements.
