Josh Dupont has the cure for what ails you.  Attentive and well versed in the ways of merry- and music-making, the veteran DJ/producer is an indispensable staple to Houston’s nightlife.  When he isn’t running the reins of label Nightshade Music, Dupont spends his time doctoring Houston’s sinfully hungover with generous doses of nu-disco every Sunday at Royal Oak, in the vibrant neighborhood known as Montrose. Unwavering in purpose, Josh makes regular house calls in the wee hours of the morning at Houston’s famed afterhours club, Rich’s, and teams up with fellow DJ James Reed at Boondock’s for their new panty-dropping monthly, Kinda Super Disco. And when partnered with producer-in-crime Daelo, the pair does for nu-disco what Tom Selleck did for the moustache - reintroducing timeless favorites with seductive, fresh flavor.  Armed with a goodie bag of elixirs, Josh Dupont is truly a favorite amongst favorites.

Tony Johns is known for his impressive edits and remixes of various tracks, spanning genres like disco, funk, and house. Tony Johns’ remix process is quite fascinating and involves several key steps to transform original tracks into his unique edits. Here’s a general overview of how he approaches his remixes:Track Selection: Tony starts by choosing a track that resonates with him. He often looks for songs with strong melodies, vocals, or grooves that he can build upon.

Listening and Analysis: He listens to the track multiple times to understand its structure, key elements, and potential areas for enhancement. This helps him identify which parts to emphasize or modify.

Isolating Elements: Using digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Ableton Live or Logic Pro, Tony isolates specific elements of the track, such as vocals, basslines, or drum patterns. This allows him to manipulate these components individually.

Adding New Elements: He often adds new beats, synths, or instrumental layers to give the track a fresh feel. This could involve creating entirely new sections or enhancing existing ones.

Effects and Processing: Tony applies various effects like reverb, delay, and EQ to shape the sound. This step is crucial for blending the new elements with the original track seamlessly.

Arrangement: He rearranges the track to create a new structure that maintains the listener’s interest. This might involve extending certain sections, adding breakdowns, or creating build-ups.

Mixing and Mastering: Finally, Tony mixes all the elements together, balancing the levels and ensuring clarity. The mastering process polishes the track, making it sound cohesive and ready for release.

Tony’s remixes are known for their ability to breathe new life into classic tracks while maintaining the essence of the original. His attention to detail and creative approach make his edits stand out in the remix community.
