My hybrid remix of Man In The Mirror - a little synthwave; a little tropical house.

Degrees of Passion - Freemasons Bootleg

Two decades ago, armed with a relic of a PC, FruityLoops, and Acid Pro, I boldly defied the status quo. Eminem's "Without Me," an audacious battle cry against his foes and a proclamation of his magnificence, both beckoned me to remix it. A fan myself, I faced a tide of disapproval, particularly from the gay community. "Rap doesn't go with house music," they said. "Eminem hates gays! Clubs won't touch this!" The criticism stung.

While I didn't condone Eminem's choice of words at times, I appreciated his tenacity in speaking his mind and thought he was talented. How could I pass up an acapella as I was experimenting with music? 

Dismissing the naysayers, I plunged head first into the remix, uncharted territory for hip-hop and house fusion. With Hex Hector's samples, a mosaic of percussion loops, and my compositional ingenuity, I aspired to marry the spirit of the '80s with Eminem's vocals, creating a sonic fusion like no other.

This mix is a tale of artistic rebellion, resilience, and musical marriage. Enjoy!

I used to go by DJ Kaitou (short for Kaitoumitsu) until someone bit off it. I got my start in the music industry as a college radio jockey and web designer for DJs and music producers. I've been a fan of EDM, house, and dance music for a long time. I've recently been revisiting the remixes I created in college to breathe new life into my work. Make no mistake, I am no professional. If you like my stuff, give me a follow. If not, be constructive.
