This RAC remix of “Walking On A Dream” is the best remix of this track and I think it’s just a hair better than the original itself. The sound of the kick on this track is to die for, quite envious.

Color Theory – Song Named After a Girl (Odd Year Remix)
I just finished two remixes which you can listen to on soundcloud. I did them both for Color Theory‘s new remix EP titled, “The Silence.”
Color Theory – Song Named After a Girl (Odd Year Remix)
The single off the album and a track I approach with a more “bare-bones” mentality. This was done mostly with the bassline that runs throughout and minimal synths except for the chorus sections. I am not a fan of the typical remix, i.e., just speed up the vocals or only use a snippet of vocals and then slam a house beat underneath. I usually take the approach of re-visioning it and asking myself what I would do if I had Brian in the studio to record a new track. I like the stark contrast of a deep bass with Brian’s voice and really wanted to highlight the melody he wrote for the chorus. Hope you all enjoy.
Backseat:
I fell in love with Backseat off of Color Theory’s latest release, The Sound and when the opportunity arose to remix it, I couldn’t resist. This track has the classic depeche mode melancholy to which I wanted to do a more “widescreen” edition of. Hence the rain and thunder efx on the track.

Andy Bell – Call On Me (Hey Champ Remix)
Make me happy music here folks. For those that follow this blog know I have a soft spot for 80’s synth pop and in particular anything related to depeche mode. Though in this post, it’s a matter of 1 degree removed, as in Vince Clark founding member left the band to create Yazoo and later Erasure. Andy Bell (front man and singer for Erasure) has just released his new solo effort called, “Non-Stop”. See, it’s related : P
Anyhoo, here are two remixes that have the “sweet spot” for me. The first is by “Hey Champ” and they take Andy’s album cut and infused some polished disco dust on it. I actually prefer this remix over the album version.

The second is the winner, and rightly fully so, of the recent remix contest Andy had for his track, “Say What You Want”. This remix was created by a Ste Ashworth. I have no idea who Ste is, but I sure as hell loved how he framed Andy’s voice in an Erasure-esque backing track. Love it!
