[Dub/reggae/steppers/EDM] remix album

Posted: 05 Jan 2016

I have just uploaded a small compilation of remixes I have been sitting on for a while, and made them free to the public.
Most of these were entries to remix contests with a few random remixes I did with acapellas I found on the net.
All music is produced in Reason 7 and then exported a final mix to run through the full Ozone suite VST in Cubase for all those lovely presets and multi effects etc.
I used almost exclusively programmed instruments and samples (ie. no live instruments, all played by midi by myself(caveat, im not a great musician).
I use quite a large amount of REs but the main things are antidote, revival, nautilus, jp b3 for synths, McDSP c670 compressor is used a lot, synapse dr1, tsar-1r, radical piano, synapse ninety, T2 phaser, audiomatic a lot(tape setting).
I would welcome anyone's opinions and constructive criticism on any part of it, as this is the point I feel I am reaching a reasonable level of overall proficiency.
Enjoy :)
You can stream it here at soundcloud:


Or download the whole thing free here at bandcamp(sorry for the massive picture I dunno how to make it smaller):

I found the acapella online randomly, it was posted on a remix group on facebook. I can send u it if u want. I built the riddim with midi, its not stems, although there are some exodus stems i think.

Gotcha - I scored a 3 pack of Bob multitracks a few years ago that's still floating around on the net, and did up a nice Dub of "Is this Love".

Having the stems from Exodus would be awesome, and I think I've seen a few other "remixes" of it here and there and was just hoping the instrument stems were available somewhere.

I found some stems, but its not great for my purpose of remixing this tune the way i did.
There is not much separation as its just an 8 track i think.

Thanks a lot , this is good stuff. I dont do a lot of phasing myself but like how it sounds when employed correctly to my ears.
Good job.

Thank you for your comments. I must admit I am a sucker for a phaser. I think it started from loving Lee Perry's style of dub reggae back in the day that was heavy on the Mutron Biphase. This love of phasers also translated to the UK dub scene where they are quite popular(which is kinda what my style is i guess, UK dub).

tape phasing is the bomb! I have a revox reel to reel that I use :)

check out this track from a while ago that my old band made. we took some vocals from the library of congress that were recorded in the 30's and dubbed em out like it was a fresh joint!



phasing, tape echo and flanging were all done live with only one reel to reel and pro tools.
