I love Brecon's first mini album release, so I wanted to get involved with the remixes, but it wasn't an easy job, they seem to have constructed their music in an extremely efficient and effective manner where everything is optimised and used at it's best, with nothing extra added, if you know what I mean when you hear it! So for that reason I stuck relatively closely to their original track, and just tried to add some of my own flavour to the mix, which in practice meant lots of live jamming with my Prophet and playing around with percussion detailing, along with a new drum pattern and arrangement, and, of course, some enveloping chords.
