This was the first remix I did that felt like a true lesson and musical undertaking. Dflex was a side project of Darren House aka Diesel and Felix Hopkins on the Tiny Sticks label, and the sound stems were a pure thing of beauty, full of live instrument recordings including some lovely piano and synth work, it was an honor and blessing to have the chance to rework it, and the result was eventually a proper meeting of the minds, bodies, and souls. As always, I used only the sound set from the original track, except for finger snaps and backing vox, but in this special case it was more than enough great material to endlessly work with.

Dave Aju is an internationally-recognized DJ, producer, remixer, sound engineer, vocalist and artist known for his distinctive voice and unique blend of musical styles. Born Marc David Barrite and raised by a respected Cali Jazz-head father, an early peer of Pharaoh Sanders, he soon became an avid young B-Boy and MC in the local Electro and Hip-Hop scenes before eventually finding his niche in the deeper left-field corners of mid-90s Detroit Techno and the global underground House Music movement, channeling all of the above influences into his retro-futuristic DJ sets and productions with a natural passion for dance music history, his Filipino/Ute Indian cultural rhythmic roots, and psychedelic-inspired sonic ingenuity into a raw handmade sound truly all his own.

An expansive discography which garners regular support from musical mentors-turned-fans such as Claude Young, Theo Parrish, DJ QU and Pepe Bradock includes his recently released fifth studio album Glossolalia with The Invisible Art Trio, the homecoming LP TXLAX and the follow-up Ciao Sun EP on Tokyo’s renown Mule Musiq, three previous award-nominated concept albums on Parisian outlet Circus Company, coveted remixes for select elite acts from Nicolas Jaar to STR4TA, celebrated EP releases for labels such as Ostgut Ton, Music For Freaks, and Matthew Herbert's Accidental Records, along with a deep history of notable headlining performances at globally-revered venues from London’s Fabric and Berlin’s Panorama Bar to the Sonar and MUTEK festivals, as well as regular contributions to tastemaker radio platforms like Dublab and Gilles Peterson's BBC shows. Dave Aju now finds himself in a well-accomplished creative zone at home in Los Angeles. Forever a fixture in his legendary studio developing next-level material, repping West Coast warehouse roots events with the DISCOS XXX aka DX3 crew, promoting culture connection truths with the LAXD series, penning lyrics and dropping soulful vocals for the exploratory band KAMM, while steadily mix engineering and working behind the scenes in support of a variety of LA projects, teaching production courses to future generations at Hollywood’s esteemed Musicians Institute, dropping DJ set science from his vast record collection, while running the Greasy Listening mix series that promotes new like-minded works that check the mind, body, soul boxes, and his home-base artist imprint Elbow Grease.
