Devotion On My Mind

Photo taken this past February at Poneloya beach in Nicaragua

"Devotion" as in I want to give you devotion. Here I'm serving you a couple of different versions of this gorgeous classic falsetto from Byron Stingily during his Ten City reign with one of my all time favorite house breaks taken from the flawless outro from Pet Shop Boys "Always on my Mind" from their house infused classic "Introspective" which by the way, I just happened to get he newly pressed vinyl release and  I must say it sounds incredible. Then I did some pretty decent string orchestration along with some synth riffs.  I was actually so impressed with them that I ended up doing another version totally stripped of beats adding some Indian tabla and making a totally ambient meditative version.  Enjoy!

On My Mind:

Rent

I think at this point I will probably end up remixing the entire Pet Shop Boys catalogue considering how extensive it is probably not but they always uplift with their unique and smart pop sensibility. they always bring me home.  I was a total Pet Head last night so here are two gems. Their sublime "Rent" and their B side classic "It Must Be Obvious". Enjoy

Read My Lips

Here is new one using a Danny Tenaglia release titled "Read My Lips" and mixed it with George Harrison's epic call to a higher power "My Sweet Lord" and some spoken word by yours truly. Enjoy!

Touched the Sky

So I met this wonderful sweet man and yes he is world famous Argentinian porn actor Cristian Sam.  A gorgeous man inside and out. We had great time together and shared some wonderful stories which blossomed into a great friendship. I have never met someone with that type of "career" and quickly  learned that they are just like us and it's just a job.  I must tell you this was a total exercise in self control being in such close presence of hotness...lol.  Anyhow, he was visiting New York City on vacation and needles to say we had a great time and saw a lot of each other.  So I was inspired and remixed this great house banger  called "Touched the Sky" featuring Mia Tuttavilla on vocals and produced by Dennis Ferrer . The song is featured on the House Masters series.  I  slowed it and added some other elements which turned the song into something else. Perhaps a bit darker and needy.  Hope you enjoy it!

Also, if you want to hear a longer version go to my Soundcloud page and you can here the full freak remix.

You Don't Know

Here is a different take on this amazing 1984 house classic by Serious Intention's: "You Don't Know" I slowed down the pitch and added some other crazy sound effects. Enjoy!

Face it

Lately I have been more aggressive in putting my voice on top of some of these loops.  I have some poetry that I have written a while back and have been tweaking here and there and finally I'm getting the confidence to make them as spoke word. Here is one using a loop from Master C&J's "Face It". I also did some remixing as well by adding some choir.

Enjoy

Happy Birthday Sylvester!

Happy Birthday Sylvester. You were always mighty real!
