This a series called Rainy Day Remixes (and edits). Digging through the crates and remixing some of my favorite old school records. If the weather is poor or I need a break from writing my own stuff....I just pull out some vinyl and knock out a remix or edit. I do it mostly for my own DJ mixes and it also helps me keep track of what records I have...but I am also happy to open up my sounds to other forward thinking listeners who appreciate the intelligent and soulful dancefloor. New Jersey, New York, Chicago and Detroit....here we come.

DayzOne - Rainy Day Remixes and Edits (Deepness)

I was digging through the crates working on a mix the other day and I was feeling in need of a little Poindexter action. Poindexter is one of my all time favorite drum programmers from the golden years of Chicago. I was going to just do a quick re-rub for a mix I was working on just to add a little flavor. Instead, I ended up doing a full remixing it and some edits. I tried to leave the drums alone because they are just so damn classic...just a few extra chops and drops thrown in. I did add some classic old school bass, keys and fx to keep it true to the era...I think it grooves pretty nicely. It has an old Chicago meets old school Jersey/Zanzibar sound. I know you should not mess with the classics but I thought this turned out pretty cool.

Steve Poindexter - Work That Mother (DayzOne Rmx)

This is the 3rd installment of my Rainy Day Edits & Remixes project. Pal Joey is one my all-time favorite producers ever. His sound is just pure, classic NYC House. I wanted to take my favorite components of the original and transform it into a late-night burner. I flipped this for a DJ mix I am working on and ended up doing a full on remix. Hope you enjoy it. Strictly for those that know.

Earth People - Reach Up To Mars (DayzOne Rmx)

Welcome to the 4th track in the Rainy Day edit series. It is pouring in New Jersey right now. So, to brighten my my day I flipped a rework of the seminal (and hugely under-rated) jazzy house/techno classic Claire by IO. This came out on a 2x12 on Cheap Records and was later licensed by Mo Wax. It is Patrick Pulsinger's finest production to date. I gave it the Rainy Day treatment for a new mix I am working on. Hope you enjoy it.

IO - Claire (DayzOne Rework)

This is the 5th installment of my Rainy Day Edits & Remixes project. Gemini aka Spencer Kinsey is one of my all time favorite producers and was way, way ahead of his time. He released so many dope tracks on Peacefrog, Planet E, Relief, Cajual, Distance and Classic. I miss this cat as his records were always able to ride the line between deep, experimental and still got the floor packed. This record in particular "The Wave" has one of his best basslines, which is just a classic Juno square bass, which is so infectious. I did this one as a full on remix with my own synths and acid lines as well as all my own drums, just leaving the bassline, and pads as the same. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did paying tribute to one of the best whoever did it.

Gemini - The Wave (DayzOne Rmx)

For those who know.....Logic was the bomb in the early 90's releasing the seminal deep classic "The Warning" on Strictly Rhythm. The year was 1990 and it was only SR's 7th release I believe (SR1207). The Warning is the bomb but I always fell harder for the flip side "The Final Frontier". Straight up deep with one of the most memorable basslines in house, only second to Mr. Fingers - Can You Feel It. I pulled out the vinyl on "The Final Frontier" just make a quick edit/dj tool for a new mix I was working on. I had so much fun I programmed some classic sounding drums and knocked out a few sounds as well. I wanted to keep it minimal and highlight the fantastic bass and not kill the groove with any other instrumentation. I guess this is my take on a classic. Hope you enjoy it. Strictly for those that know.
