It's freebie time and WHAT a freebie!

As a kid growing up in the 80s, it's hard not to love Madonna, and 'Rescue Me' was one of those tracks that stuck with me ever since I first heard it on 'The Immaculate Collection' back in 1990 - my mum used to play the cassette tape to death in the car, and it's influence clearly stays with me to this day!

The initial idea was going to be a classic retro mix (shades of which can heard during the breakdown) but as there was no official remix pack for the track, and certainly no acappella (travesty because her vocals in the original are stunning)it was a case of going through every remix of the track from the 1991 CD single and pulling together as many samples as I could, sifting through to find anything of use to create a deeper edit, something that would match the roughness of the sampling.

I tried to do the best I could without any official stems or acappella and I hope I've done the original justice, especially when your dealing with such a great artist and song!

It's totally free as a thank you for all the support I've been getting recently (it doesn't go unnoticed) and I look forward to your thoughts!

Trivia & production notes:
------------------------------------
*I'm aware the "so now what" sample is actually from 'Justify My Love' but it's also included on the official remixes so I figure it canon ;)

*The bass is THE classic 90s 'Solid Bass' patch (for extra nostalgia) and the notes are a re order of the original bass pattern from 'Rescue Me'

*I tried to replay or sample as many of the original parts as possible, in particular the pan pipes, high string, orchestra hits, percussion (Shep Pettibone machine gun snares!) and drum breaks - this was to keep as much respect to the original as I could

*The breakdown was built around the idea of having a remade version of the original 'on vinyl' I added very subtle vinyl crackle, and tape saturation to this section to add to the effect

*The spin back and record slow down effect was designed to add to the vinyl effect, and to also serve as an arrangement tool, as the track clocks in at 8 minutes I knew that by starting the track at the 4:40 spin back us DJs could have a much tighter edit depending on the set we play.

*The old skool drum break is from the classic Lyn Collins 'Think About It' from 1972 - I had to loop the original drum break in 'Rescue Me' whilst playing 300 classic drum breaks in Abletons browser over the top to identify that baby!

*The cover art is a slightly altered version of the 12" cover from 1991

*the outro with thunderstorm, heartbeats and finger snaps is a reverse homage of the opening to the original of 'Rescue Me'
