I read an inspiring story of true love about the widower man who performed Mummers strut at his wife's funeral back in 2018, while being accompanied by several  members of her most favorite Mummers band performing one of her favorite songs.

So suddenly I got badly nostalgic remembering the 2011 Mummer's Parade in Philly, and wanted to express my love for all those who participated in this spectacular event 10 years ago and goes strutting every f...g year (oooohhh yessss, some hardcore Mummers strutted in the streets of Philly despite 2021 parade cancellation due to Covid-19 crisis) by creating this mashup of Depeche Mode - "I feel loved" and Fatboy Slim "Star 69" tracks into one 128 bpm tune. The photo credit: myself with a permission of Froggy Carr brigade. Thanks for the pin, guys! Keep up entertaining the country!

First, I created the 145 bpm beat and electro bass pattern with Mbira, then thought it is going to be another trance tune, but then found a free Syntar plugin, which makes nice sitar sounds, which I used with a mix of Senegalese and Indian vocals.

La Piovra Theme (EdaX Balearic Bliss Remix)

Anyone remember the Italian Rai Uno channel series about Mafia? The streets were empty when the series was showing in 80s', even the Italian police would be watching... as well as real criminals... Man, it made an impact on us, as it was one of  the few first international series allowed during Soviet Union times. I was too little to remember adult details back then, but the music by great Ennio Morricone always stuck in my heart. So here it is, some variations on the Theme of "La Piovra" - in fact, I work on the main theme (not finished yet) and on the theme of Greta - Strana Bambina. First I introduce barely modified original, then comes my part with a little ambiance, synthwave and tribal house drums fusion.

"Lec, Saulīte"  is an amazing folk-pop song that Latvians sang during their Festivals of Songs... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQBCQUIXqZM
I admire the melody and the unspoken power of this truly Pagan song. However, I was also curious about the transformation of the main riff into an EDM piece. I changed the original key to C#m and increased the tempo to 130 bpm.

My instrumental bootleg medley from the opening scene of Taxi (1998) movie, which is based on the ancient Eastern Mediterranean region folk song "Misirlou". Credit for tango version excerpt in a public domain: Strolling Strings of the United States Air Force Band.

Daniel and Émilien's dialogue is from the scene where Émilien confesses that he's actually a cop :) 

The tune used the following FL Studio VST plugins:

c) Nexus 3
d) Reveal Spire
e) Flex

Darth Vader - Minimal Acid Techno DJ Set 2023

Inspired by the Intro of movie King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017). This mild progressive acid techno tune is made in 127 bpm, using the FL Studio equipped with Bass Master, Sylenth, Sytrus, Nexus 3, Diversion and Krishna Synth VST.  The term Acid specifically refers to the harsh "acidic" squelching sound of the Roland 303.

Differences between acid techno and other genres:

The genre is generally more experimental than other types of electronic music. This is because it’s a fusion of two very different genres: acid house and techno . This can sometimes result in sounds that are hard to categorize, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on your tastes.  Another difference is that acid techno can be more melodic than other electronic music genres.  Acid Techno can be broken down into different subgenres to better understand how it’s different from other types of electronic music. These subgenres are: 

1) Dark techno. Its sound is quite dark and might give you a feeling of dread. It’s often used for creating horror and thriller films. Dark Techno tracks typically feature distorted basslines, sample snare drums, and heavy FX. 

2) Techno with a psychedelic feel. It is much lighter than acid techno and features more melodic and harmonic sounds. It’s often used for creating relaxing and soothing tracks. 

3) Acid techno with a minimal feel. It features minimal basslines, a strong focus on melody, and filtered and complex sounds such as reverbs, synths, and pads. 

4) Acid techno with a structured feel. It’s typically heavier and features stronger basslines. The basslines often have a hybrid funk sound.

Many thanks to Mr. Shammi for providing this wonderful acapella on Looperman.com.  This is an updated mastered version. Please help me to identify the genre of this track in your comments. I feel like it's Electro House, but it has some trance elements, does it? It's not Moombathron though...

EdaX feat. Mr. Shammi - Drop It Low

"The Star Called Sun" (Russian: Звезда по имени Солнце, tr. Zvezda po imeni Solntse) is a song by the Soviet rock band «Kino» from the album with the same title released in 1988. Viktor Tsoi wrote the lyrics and music. The original song can be found on Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jmmHB3K69A

The song is very popular in Russia and is heard on the air of Russian radio stations daily. Many novice guitarists learn to play it, and there have been a lot of cover versions. I chose to make a light instrumental dance remix of this song, increasing the bpm to 128 over original 67.

Lyrics:

White snow, grey ice,
On the cracked earth,
Like a patchwork quilt upon it...
There's a city on a loop in the road,
And above the city there are clouds drifting,
Hiding the heavenly light,
And above the city, there's a yellow haze,
The city, for two thousand years
Lived under the light of a star
Called the Sun...

And for two thousand years there was war,
War with no particular reason,
War is a young business,
Like medicine against wrinkles.
There's red, red blood,
After an hour, it was absorbed into the ground,
After two there were flowers and grass,
After three, the earth lived again,
And it was warmed by the rays of a star
Called the Sun...

And we know, that it's always been so,
That Fate loves the one
Who lives by his own rules,
The one who dies young..
He doesn't remember the words "yes" or "no",
He doesn't remember ranks nor names,
And he could reach the stars,
Not realizing, that it was a dream,
And to fall down dead, burned by a star
Named the Sun..

Viktor Tsoi and Kino - A Star called the Sun (Edax Instrumental Remake)

Instrumental Remake of famous "Face à la mer" (French: "Facing the Sea") - a 2004 song recorded as a duet by french singers Calogero and Passi. The original song has 93 bpm tempo and mixes pop (verses sung by Calogero) and R&B (that of Passi) styles. My remake is relaxed style,  following original song, but giving some electronic interpretation.

A tribute to Alberto Bertapelle, better known by his stage name Brainbug, who was an Italian symphonic electronic trance music record producer and guitarist from Ceggia, Italy. He contributed to the development of trance music in early 90's.  Here I combined a theme from his tracks "Nightmare" and "Benedictus" with some motifs of Aquagen track "Phatt Bass" plus added something from the very bottom of my heart. RIP.

Fatboy Slim - Funk Soul Brother (EdaX 2017 Magic House Remix)

"Pump Up the Jam" is the opening track on Belgian act Technotronic's album Pump Up the Jam: The Album. Released as a single, it was a worldwide hit, reaching number two in the United Kingdom in 1989 and in the American Billboard Hot 100 in early 1990. The song was later certified triple platinum. Vocalist Ya Kid K was initially overshadowed by Congolese model Felly Kilingi, who appears lip-syncing in the music video and was featured on the first album cover as a marketing tactic. Ya Kid K was ultimately recognized upon a U.S. tour and a repackaged album cover that featured her instead of Felly. In 2005, it was remixed by DJ-producer D.O.N.S. and reached number one on the British Dance Chart. The Guardian featured the song on their A history of modern music: Dance in 2011. 

Well, me too - I felt like jumping and pumping on the floor with or without my favorite jam while making this remix :)

Jean Michel Jarre - Equinox Pt 4 (EdaX 130 Bpm Remake)

It would be a sin to change this epic house anthem from the early 90's (1993 to be exact). But can we electrify it? That's my humble attempt to do this by slightly increasing the tempo from 130 to 132 bpm and adding some additional lead synths.

I am a biochemist by profession and an avid fan of electronic music. I do not stick to any particular style though. Why? Because all genres are to be experimented with, just like in my lab.  Most of my original works are fusion of genres, although sometimes I create in a :pure: genre spirit out of respect to what historically it is...  So I fuse elements of trap, dubstep, EDM, house, funk, trance, progressive house/trance, minimal techno, acid techno/house, oriental, ethnic, breaks, psytrance/goa, synthwave, disco, trap, even some DnB or future house etc.  I also like Instrumental remakes, or so called classical variations on the theme, leaving some air to vocals. 

I attended the choir, I can read notes slo-o-o-wly and sing, but I create the music purely based on my own hearing and intuition what I like and what not. I learn on a go just like in a lab, as they say. I create or remix the music for personal entertainment and as the means of relaxation, but if someone else here happens to like it - thanks, I appreciate you dropping by, giving me some thumbs up and then continuing having a nice day :) I am not social media crazy, and will not be offended if you do not join my tiny fan circle, because my wellbeing and quality of life does not depend on gathering 1M likes or 1M followers. However, sharing positive things and encouragement is important.

There are so many great musicians creating different styles of music that it is hard to name those who made the biggest impact on my musical taste. Back in the days, we, as teenagers, listened to MTV and pirate casette tapes which compared to nowadays sound technology was awfully bad way to enjoy pop, early rock'n'roll and disco, and yet we did it. I remember being impressed by composers Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, then groups such as SNAP, Technotronic and then 2 Unlimited. But it was, in fact, DJ Tiesto, DJ Darude and Voodoo & Serano that made electronica started to get under my skin during the European trance and rave music movement in late 90's. 

Besides famous DJs like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Darude, David Guetta, Boris Brejcha, I adore the exclusive remixes and works of Damien Heck, D-Formation, Jean Elan, Mike Koglin, Oscar G,  Kenneth Thomas and Ronski Speed. Out of R'n'B/hip-hop artists, I love Sean Paul, Pitbull, Flo-Rida, MadCon and Timbaland. I must admit I am stuck in the millennia period and not following the trendy s... the kids are listening to these days as much as I should, but I catch some famous pop songs here and there.

If you would like to use my original mixes anywhere, please let me know.

EdaX
