The Grid - EP

Rinzler

The Grid

Ouverture

Originally composed by La Roux, covered by the amazing London Grammar in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHB0O7y3eb0

I ripped the audio (best I could find) and worked from there.

The amazing thing about London Grammar... I barely had to do any work at all... they're already so talented, it's insane... huge props to them.

London Grammar - In For the Kill (Big Skapinsky Remix)

Skap is in love...

that's all there is to say.

I hope you listen to this and feel as I do...

Mimi...

A Remix of the soundtrack from the movie TRON.
with much help from the song "Breathe" by the Prodigy.

historical note: this is the first track that I ever created using Ableton Live.
I used Live and Reason in Parallel, but all the mastering is done in Live. (better quality mastering? to be debated...)

anyways, enjoy!



Daft Punk - The Grid (Big Skapinsky Remix)

A mix of some samples from the Game REZ by SEGA.
Original song by Adam Freeland

Adam Freeland - The Mind Killer

As my in-the-works EP is becoming an in-the-works Album, and the time it is going to take keeps on stretching before my eyes, I decided to share with you all this track. I made it a few weeks ago, and it's been patiently waiting the other tracks to be complete. Since that's not happening anytime soon, and more tracks just keep on being born... yeah...

Enjoy!

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

Vanquishing The Demons

*lyrics*

When we start playing the game 
When we start doing the dance 

The rules aren't staying the same 
Or bodies moving in sweet romance 

Waltzing on a chessboard
No black or white to tell us where to go

Don't cry if you don't know
This game isn't over till we say so 

Your defense is crashing down 
Your Knights are gone, can't save you now 

Are you afraid that I'm bringing pain 
Because if others did, I'm not the same

Will you be my queen 
I will be your king 
I'll take your chess pieces for a spin 

Don't be afraid of a stalemate 
Cause I'll make my move... 

make my move... 
make my move... 
'cause I'll make my move...

It's been a while! I finished my exams and now I can finally make music again... Here's a fresh track for you :D

enjoy!

Late Bloomer

Three years. Three long years I’ve been working on this album.

It has grown, evolved, matured. I’ve scrapped it, restarted it, polished it, loved it, hated it, and now… It’s finally out.

I want to thank my patrons from the bottom of my heart for making the release possible. (It’s not enough to just make an album. You gotta spend to master and release it!)

Mimi, Albane Rausis, Yann Bocchi, Lucas Güniat, Nessa Astaldo, Yannis Collange, Konrad Ukens

Thanks guys, from the bottom of my heart. It wouldn’t sound as good without you.

Enjoy the album, it was a hell of a ride to make, but I sure as hell enjoyed making it.

Peace

-Big Skapinsky.

Overdue

The Question is Always a Guitar

The Arcade (2017 Vocal Mix)

The Answer is Always a Piano (2017)

So I adjusted my track "Open Your Eyes" back in 2015 for my very first live concert. It was easier to mix in 4/4 instead of in triplets like it actually was. I thought the track got a nice spin, and added vocals from Daft Punk and Morgan Page. 

It voluntarily has long intros and outros for you DJs out there to have an easier time mixing it in ;) 

Enjoy !

Open Your Eyes (Live version)

So I could't sleep last night. At 3AM I thought to myself "you know what would be nice, a DnB version of Heavyweight." So I got up and went to my computer in the kitchen. The hours ticked by, my girlfriend woke up and went to work.

12 hours later, this. Enjoy !

*DISCLAIMER* 
I do not claim that my version is better than the (absolutely legendary) original. I just wanted to give my spin to it.

Everything you hear was made on my laptop, no ripping or bootlegging, this is a very honest cover.

--Lyrics--

The touch of your skin,
The feel of your hair.
I don't want to say 
That I just want you.

Afraid of the change,
Afraid you won't care.
Just give us a chance
For things we could do

So paralyzed,
My heart is beating 
Longing for you.
I gotta ask you.
Baby just once,
I gotta ask you.

So tantalized,
My hands are shaking,
I'm blowing a fuse.
I gotta ask you,
Baby just once,
Just to be sure.

Just to be sure !



The years they have passed,
Your face has evolved.
The stars in your eyes
Are always the same.

My puzzle of life
Is finally solved.
Can you realize 
The aim of this game ?

So paralyzed,
But I had to do it for you.
I had to ask you,
Baby just once, 
I had to ask you.

So tantalized,
I had a feeling it had to be true
I'm glad I asked you
Baby just once
Just to be sure.

Just to be sure !

Paralyzed (feat. Maavy)

Oh what the hell... give it a shot, TWEET it to deadmau5 on twitter! let's see if we can get Mr. Z to take a listen... thanks! :)

After an ENORMOUS success on the Deadmau5 Medley Mix I had made with two Traktor Kontrol F1's, I decided to make a clean Ableton Live Version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ox0a8FBKxmw (youtube mix)

Whilst Creating it, I kinda got carried away, and extended it beyond recognition...

I Sincerely hope you enjoy it!

James Brown - I Feel Good [Big Skapinsky Remix]

Track that I originally thought wasn't going anywhere, well it got here. I personally think that this is one of my best tracks... it thumps pretty good while keeping a very musical aspect to it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Lyrics

Where have you thieved them
Sweet Butterflies

The World is a Spinning
Look at the Skies

White worlds are blurry
But I hear your cries

Why can't you see me?
Open Your Eyes

Maavy, Big Skapinsky - Night's Edge

Maavy - Edge of Night

whooped this together just for fun...
can you name all the samples? (hint: check the tags)

Exodus (Crazytown, Gorillaz, Selah Sue, Snoop & Dre + Mashup)

I've actually had this track sitting on my hard drive for some time. So I dusted it off, polished it, and now, it's on its way to get to your ears!🎧

It's a funny giggle track that still packs a punch. Mostly, it embodies my love of white wine, especially one that is mostly found where I live and where I'm from (Valais, Switzerland)
Petite Arvine.

Santé! 🍷

P.S. Merci à Hatman et aux Valaisans dans l'espace pour le petit coup du milieu. J'ai cherché, et pas réussi à trouver le nom du mystérieux Hatman, j'aurais bien voulu lui donner le mérite pour la bande son...

Petite Arvine

Since the age of 12, the Swiss producer Calixte Mayoraz, also known as Big Skapinsky has been making electronic music. It was when attending college that he first started performing as a DJ for various school events. This caught some notoriety within the college crowd of Lausanne, Switzerland and coincided with the release of his first EP, Evolusic. A few years later, he was signed to Hestia Records and released  Golden Ratio. As the track did not gain much attention, Mayoraz decided to continue releasing his music on his own and for free. After publishing his work on Patreon, he released his first crowdfunded EP Around the Block. Many singles followed, mostly released on SoundCloud or BandCamp, such as Vanquishing the Demons and his cover of Thirteen Senses track, Into The Fire. In March 2017, Skapinsky released his first Album, titled Overdue due to the fact that he had been working on and off on it for three years. 

His inspirations have evolved over the years. Initially being brought up with the sound of The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers, he later found great inspiration from the works of deadmau5, Feed Me, or Madeon. In the last few years, his style has widened to include tracks inspired by the likes of Infected Mushroom, Electric Universe, Sub Focus, Camo & Krooked, and Pendulum.
