about

In the before time, there was a website called Remix Wars. On this site, artists could easily share remix kits and remixes and get feedback on them. Fans could also rate and listen to all the tracks and remixes.

I was relatively green at the time, having only been into music production since around 2000, and I wanted to challenge myself. I wanted to grow my skill set and have some fun along the way. This website provided an ample playground.

I gave myself two rules:

1) I could only use the source material. No extra samples, synths, instruments, etc.
2) It had to be radically different from the original.

I was inspired by the kinds of EPs that you could listen to, front to back, without feeling like you were listening to the same song on repeat. Things like Relax Into The Abyss by Snog or Fixed by NIN. Radical re-imaginings of the source material that stood on their own as a new work of art. Not remixes, but complete reconstructions.

This philosophy has stuck with me through the years and is still how I approach a remix. This is a collection of my favourite reconstructions from those formative years between 2004 and 2006.
