New Atlantic - I Know (Love Decade Original Mix)

KMC Feat. Dhany – Somebody To Touch Me (Hi-Lux Remix) Champion Records 1995

After the enormous reaction to the first Hi-lux Remix for Champion (Red Eye – Kut It) Champion A&R Head Johnny Walker (one of the Original Ibiza 4) straight away saw the impact that that first Hi-Lux remix had on the dance floor (and the records sales figures) so asked for another Hi-Lux remix of ‘Somebody To Touch Me’ before the first Hi-Lux release of ‘Feel it’.

Yet another Piano Dance track which needed a Hi-Lux remix to freshen up. This was 95 and by now although still a strong foundation for dance music, ‘piano house’ was moving out of the late 80s/early 90s scene and was starting to become a bit of an ‘Korg M1’ dance pop overload.

This was such a great vocal to work with and a full ‘song’ rather than just short samples which was a first and a new challenge. I decided to flip the arrangement on it’s head and break away from the norm whereas you’d have traditional verse/breakdown/chorus songs, ‘Somebody’ I knew was such a strong vocal and had the potential to withstand a fresh new arrangement approach…….. my thinking was to keep the track sparse through the intro and build up and then give the verses all the space by having them in the breakdown.... this style then became a Hi-Lux remix trademark.

I thought it was about time I put together all the Hi-Lux productions in one place as I've seen many people put them up on various platforms over the years. I'll gradually add tracks/mixes as I go along and may include a few side-notes to each track/remix detailing how each mix came about and the creative process behind it. Thanks for listening :-)
