Remix for a contest sponsored by my favorite DAW's developers: Reason Studios

It is my philosophy that a good remix should be transformative in an interesting way, otherwise it's not worthwhile. Taking the source material provided by another artist and warping and shaping it to fit your vision while still maintaining some semblance of the original is much more interesting than just extending or repeating what has been done already. This is what I've done to make this one mine.

Tobtok, Milwin, & Alfie Cridland - New Levels (feat. Mila Falls) [RBM's 'Somewhere In Orbit' Remix]

Dub remix of a track I did for a buddy back in Shanghai

Hogchoker Vs. RBM - Roll Up And Roll One Up Dub (Featuring Big Youth And Max Romeo)

Weird remix of NIN's "Last", which got short shrift on the Fixed EP.

Nine Inch Nails - Last (RBM's Indubstrial Strength Mix)

Still another bootleg remix of a NIN song

Nine Inch Nails - Closer (RBM's D&B Violation Mix)

This started out as "what if early Filter or mid-career Ministry reworked Evanescence" but it quickly got out of hand. There were too many interesting textures and voices to play with and draw out instead of making it all harsh and gritty. It still ended up sounding like something from a night at the goth club. That has nothing to do with having recently gone to a goth club and lamenting the fact that the DJ wouldn’t play any hits.

Evanescence - Bring Me To Life (RBM's 'Somewhere Cold' Remix)

VIP mix of a collab track with pals in Shanghai

Shanghai Delta - Flute Soup (RBM VIP)

Straightforward metal version of an industrial track I did with a friend

RBM - Satanic Panic (Metal Version)

Deftones' shoegazey tendencies easily lend themselves to a smeary, washed out mix experimenting with time-stretching vocals and drowning sounds in reverb.

Deftones - Minerva (RBM's All Numb Remix)

A cover/remix of the old Unsolved Mysteries theme music

RBM - Unsolved

Maybe the last part of the Nu-Metal Remix Project, this is Incubus' "Drive" reimagined through the lens of dub music, picked apart and looped through various studio effects, until it's something different, floating to us from distances greater than radio transmitters can reliably send it.

This one started as an attempt to make it into trip-hop but just refused to come together that way. Re-reconfiguring the drums and focusing on the bass guitar took it in a better direction.

Incubus - Drive (RBM's Cruisin' Dub)

Probably the hardest of these to start, but quick to finish. The recordings were so loose and live that nothing was on-grid and I just couldn't figure out what to do with it until I sped it up a little and added a breakbeat. Very heavily influenced by Sasha's "Rabbitweed" and Shpongle's "Dorset Perception" and Sasha's remix thereof. This one's so heavily processed and filtered that you might have trouble hearing the original in it. I just completely tore it apart and re-molded it into something completely new.

Korn - Freak On A Leash (RBM's Breaks On A Leash Remix)

Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit (RBM's Breakbeat Habit Remix)

Nine Inch Nails - The Perfect Drug (RBM's Bad Trip Dub)

Remix I did for a contest. It was mostly ignored, but I really like it and felt like sharing.

Garbage - Automatic Systematic Habit (RBM's Dragged Out Remix)

Nine Inch Nails - Sanctified (RBM's Sanctdubfied Mix)

Inspired by Street Fight Radio and The P.O.D.Kast's Brian Quinby, I started a project to remix nu-metal songs. This is the first completed track in this project.

It started with me just piecing things together and trying out various drum loops over the song’s iconic bassline, and quickly settled into a weird dub track with manipulated vocals and echoey effects. One of the more popular entries in this list.

Limp Bizkit - Re-Arranged (RBM's Completely Rearranged Dub)

The concept of this particular remix was inspired by the Scott Burns mix of KMFDM's "A Hole in the Wall", which took a kind of doofy metal song and made it way more metal, arguably making it better.

Additionally I completely rewrote the drum part because the band's drummer turned into a weird right-wing chud and deserves to be replaced by a drum machine.

System of a Down - Spiders (RBM's Heavier Mix)

What if Rob Zombie met the Crystal Method?

Rob Zombie - Living Dead Girl (RBM's 'Rave From the Grave' Remix)

Linkin Park - In The End (RBM's "It All Fell Apart" Remix)

Mobile producer and recording engineer, electronic music enthusiast, and internet troublemaker. Started with a guitar and a tape deck, ended up with synths and sequencers. This is where I stash one-offs, remixes, and other ephemera.
