Archive 2002 – Dream Warriors Remix

by


Sometimes unexpected things happens. I got a remix-request late 2001 from a personal favourite, “Dream Warriors – My Definition Of A Boombastic Jazz Style” that I bought on vinyl 1990. This song is magic and it contains samples from Quincy Jones classic hit “Soul Bossa Nova”.

I’m pretty sure where I want to got with it and couldn’t help myself incorporating some scratching into the groove. The remix was released on their compilation “The Legacy Continues
” during 2002 in the radio version I also included. I’m not sure that this long version ever got released, but it’s out here now finally 🙂

Archive 2001 – Remixes for fun

by


Det var inte sĂ„ ofta jag hade tid och bara sitta och leka, men ibland sĂ„ fick jag ett ryck. Mary J Bliges “Family Affair” var en enorm hit och ofta efterfrĂ„gad och den ville man ju ha en house-version pĂ„. LĂ„ten Flawless tyckte jag mycket om och nĂ€r de satt fint i tonart sĂ„ var det inte mycket att tveka pĂ„. Flawless fick ett bĂ€ttre intro och outro ocksĂ„ som var lĂ€ttare att jobba med.


En annan favorit var Röyksopp – Eple som man ocksĂ„ ville fĂ„ upp lite i tempo, och sĂ„ fick det bli. Trummorna Ă€r hĂ€mtade frĂ„n min lĂ„t “Sidechained ‎– Cityscape”. Dessa spelade jag ute en hel del och fick Ă€ven följa med i mina radioprogram.

After 5 years of work for all possible record companies and over 150 released productions, songs, remixes and mixes, this disc came to sum it up. Here’s the most you need to know about what I’ve been involved in during these years. Of course not everything but a lot. Many of the songs had topped the Swedish Dance Chart and I am delighted to look back on these years of such an intense and fun jobs.

Archive 1998 – Tellus -Take Me Up

by

Also available on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Juno & Beatport

The last single from Tellus was Take Me Up, taken from the album. The melody was re-used from my very first vinyl-release “Another Gate” from 1993. Together with the magazine MM, Goldhead Music and my production company Q Park, we launched ”Swedish Masters Of Remix”. Anybody could participate in remixing this song and we had products worth 30.000 SEK for the lucky winners.

We received over 160 remixes in genres from jazz & drum’n’bass to eurotechno & rock. The 3 winners can be heard on the single.

On the forth place, just outside the top 3, we find Axel Hedfors from Lund, with his ”OXL Remigz”. It is a house-version that doesn’t really go all the way. The name OXL should shortly after change into Axwell, and this is the start of an impressive journey in Swedish music history. The nowadays famous producer Henrik B also participated with his techno-version, sent in on a cassette, but the rules demanded CD, to be able to compete in the same sound quality as everybody else, so it automatically was disqualified. But it became the start of a very nice friendship.

Archive 1996 – Minello – Satisfy Me

by

Also available on Apple Music, iTunes, Juno & Beatport

Minello was created when I put together my two friends that never met before. Michael Jönsson and Nello = Minello. All Nello productions always ended up in a euro-style, and Michael was more into underground house music with a touch of soul. This match was indeed lucky a and they created a sound together, ending up as commercial house. This song also went on the top selling compilation Absolute Dance. All vocals sung by Shirley Clamp.
