Episode 3 - Wind, Shadow, Gin & Sprite, Bump Volume 2008




In this podcast I am releasing 2 remixes of Elements: Wind & Shadow. This is a special treat for my podcast followers and reverbnation fans. These are the only 2 places you will find these remixes available. (These tracks are available for download individually at http://www.reverbnation.com/pbuck if you are a fan.)

Remixing Wind was a lot of fun. It took a day or so to get things moving, but when I found the new beat it really made things interesting. Many of the original tracks and instruments are still in use for this remix, but I really tweaked the effects and layered on the delay and reverb. I have been inspired by Tim's use of delay with the latest Studio T tracks, and I think you can hear the influence on Wind.

Shadow has proved to be the most popular element as well as one of the most catchy melodies. This track definitely has a party jam feel to it, and I wanted to accentuate this element of the song a bit more. The idea to add the crowd "OHs" came when I was mixing in the bass track with some new effects and I heard some fuzz coming in and out on the backbeat. In my mind I immediately just heard a crowd of folks shouting with the track. This remix is shorter, but I think you will want to listen to it more than once.

Also with this podcast I have included a couple of special treats that you won't find elsewhere. The first is a track called "Gin & Sprite" named for a favorite drink we used to get hyped about back in the days of the Winslow House in Murfreesboro. A rap song has long been in the works, but the beat has yet to be written to or flowed on. This beat is definitely one of my favorites that I have made in the last few years, and I am glad to have a chance to release it. It was also used once on a promotional video for the GO show. You can still see it on our myspace.

The last track is a BSC mix tape track that Zach "Z.matt.33" Matthews and I started on back when we lived on Hailey Avenue in Bordeaux. I am really glad we don't live there, but while we were there we managed to put together a couple of tight mix tape style BSC tracks. We released them as the Hailey Ave Mixtape. The track included on this podcast was tentatively named "Bump Volume 2008." You will hear our pal Big John talking about "Cause it's 2008" and "Spark another blunt and bump it fuckin loud." This sample came from one of my favorite BSC tracks, "Microphone." You can hear all the BSC tracks on our reverbnation page: http://www.reverbnation.com/bsc.
