Nils Frahm is one of the best artists out there in my opinion, with pretty much the best live show I've ever seen. But aside from all that, this was just a really enjoyable remix to work on because the original is such a great piece of music, and seemingly so well suited to what I wanted to do with it - which was to try and turn Nils' instrumental jam on his Juno, into something house/techno/club/44 compatible, but still carrying the class and feeling of the original. It was one of those remixes that just seemed to fit and flow easily, with minimum strain and maximum enjoyment on my part - usually a good sign for a remix (the one's that have to be forced never seem to quite get there).

Big thanks to Billboard for featuring this remix, which is now available as part of my Balance 030 compilation:

Sharkjumper vs Shreddward - Numbers/Computer World..2 (Original Mix)

From the LessThan3 website...

"We've got a real treat in store for you on Heartbeat this week--the world premiere mix of Sharkjumper vs Shreddward (or SvS), a new Texas duo sure to redefine the way you think about house music. Sharkjumper already has a storied career as a DJ/producer/engineer, while Shreddward is probably best known for his work as the guitarist for legendary group Andain. What do you get when you combine those two worlds? A techy, guitar-laden amalgamation complete with rock-like breakbeats, bouncy four-to-the-floor grooves, and cinematic drops. My personal favorite is their current single and opening track Playa Haters, available for free download along with their other two singles, Hair and a Kraftwerk cover called Numbers/Computer World..2. We may have opened the door to a new genre here, kiddies. Stay tuned and help spread the word."

Max Cooper Live - Movements Through Self Contained Space (free download)

Audio example for The Drop. With the pre and post gain as modulation destinations you can create pumping and panning effects with The Drop as well as filtering, in this case with the Sallen Key circuit model. The Drop is also used in high pass mode as an EQ on the kick and snare to add body with a little resonance and keep the sounds in mix tight be removing unwanted low frequencies. Drums are from the Goldbaby Urban Cookbook, the synth is Strobe with its filter switched off.
