Here are some of the most recent examples of my sonic redistricting and ear-borne tomfoolery inflicted on a variety of highly suspicious artists and labels. The wild part is, I might also be able to do this to you.

TZECHAR x T.O.P - DADA DOOM

A somewhat dreamy remix I produced for San Francisco duo Cubik & Origami, of a cool track called "Bought & Sold." I've always liked Origami's vocals so I was well up for this remix project.

I basically just used the vocal hook, repeated, and a couple of synth pads from the original. I wanted a bayou-like flow to define the track, to give an aural impression of calmly reaching some destination. The mid-section is a bit I'm particularly happy with ... it's quite the patient build. I've had some DJs tell me this part can be a bit frustrating but, trust me: try it on a loud system with a dancefloor inhabiting the deeper zone and the track is quite effective. 

This is out now: https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/213118/Bought%20%26%20Sold

Once again, as a reminder, I’m always up for remixing if your label or song is in need of something like the above. Feel free to contact me here: qburns@q-burnsabstractmessage.com

Gavin Hardkiss live @ Revolution Siesta Release Party 4-12-2014

We're all told that there's no limit to the imagination. Tonight I watched a movie where Salvador Dali ordered a flaming giraffe. Gavin and Robbie wanted a remix. This thing bellows and booms like a cinematic long shot through the universe. You can walk like a candy Nosferatu to its drum line. In this case, bump conveniently rhymes with 'rump.' Be sure to pack a flashlight.

You can find this track in the hands of our friends at the fine <A HREF="http://whiskeypickle.com/" target="_blank">Whiskey Pickle</A> label, and it's available for purchase from <A HREF="http://www.beatport.com/release/retroactivefuturisticpsychedelicfunkbump/1234016" target="_blank">Beatport</A>, <A HREF="http://www.junodownload.com/products/gavin-hardkiss-robbie-hardkiss-retroactivefuturisticpsychedelicfunkbump/2396681-02/" target="_blank">Juno Download</A>, and other digital hot spots. You know what to do.

Hardkiss - "RetroactiveFuturisticPsychedelicFunkBump (Q-Burns Abstract Message Remix)"

.
.
This is a remix out just now via <A HREF="https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/216601/missing_you">Beatport</a>, a little re-twisting of a gorgeous track by my good friend <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/robotkarate">Brett Johnson</A>. Maybe the ante gets up'ed when working with good friends as this turned out to be one of my personal favorite remixes I've ever done. I'm crazy about it.

The press release for this describes it best: 
"Imprisoned studio warlock Q-Burns Abstract Message was on hand to complement "Missing You" with a suspiciously spacious remix. Drawing inspiration from a pile of broken King Tubby records, Q-BAM's version rattles within a moisture-soaked cell block, building into an analog epiphany further enhanced through a steaming, dusty spring reverb box. Totally slinky for the dancefloor, it aims to beguile the rarely hypnotized."

Aha! 

As stated above this is out right now on <A HREF="https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/216601/missing_you">Beatport</a> and will be available everywhere else on March 2. It's been released by the exquisite deep house label <A HREF="http://www.EIGHT-TRACKS.com">EIGHT-TRACKS</A>. You should also check out Brett's original on the release (as well as other remixes by <A HREF="http://www.allandbyallo.com/">Alland Byallo</A> and Brett himself) ... you can do so by clicking <A HREF="http://soundcloud.com/eight-tracks/sets/missing-you">HERE</A>.

lyrics:
i know that i'm the 1 that u miss
even tho i'm not the 1 that u kiss
reminisce reminisce reminisce
status: present, w/ my senses dismissed
u gave me all these memories
but now ur just a memory
everything u do is addicting as fuck
everything i do is i miss u as fuck
everything u do is just so distant as fuck
so everything i do is just resist u & fuck
but not everything that pass me
matter fact just let one pass me
cuz i was daydreaming of u so nasty
i guess that's why they call me papi gnashty
don't u get it? don't u get it?
i'll meet u in my daydreams if ur with it

nowadays i only see u in my daydreams x 8

Dom La Nena - Batuque (Jeremy Sole & Atropolis  Remix, MoM Extended Version)

The bulging eyeball of, one can maybe assume, <A HREF="http://www.myspace.com/scotthardkiss">Scott Hardkiss</A> portends some serious "Beat Freak" action. It's a freewheeling cut on Scott's <A HREF="http://godwithin.com/site/?p=49">Technicolor Dreamer</A> album enthusiastically giving shout-outs to folks of all shades, no matter how neon, because, when it comes down to it, we all dig freakin' to beats (yes.).

Scott hit me up to remix "Beat Freak" and I happily obliged. There was an original version of my remix that I toiled on for 4 or 5 lonely days. Long story short, I decreed it "not freaky enough" and in a calm tantrum erased all evidence and started over from scratch. 24 hours later I had the remix you hear above.

I liked the implications within the synthesized vocal and visualized it as a bullhorn announcement. A sort of world music bounce is applied for a global "everybody's in the club" feel. The beats and bass line are kept overly simple, serving as anchors for everything around them. The keyboard solo and emulated fretless bass were last minute ideas and make up my favorite section of this. Celebration time. I'm into it.

Upon completion I immediately had an idea for an alternate version of this. Thus we have the dub which you can listen to here: http://soundcloud.com/q-burns-abstract-message/scott-hardkiss-beat-freak-q-burns-abstract-message-dub

I've been playing both of these out in my sets and they seem to work really well for the floor. I rarely have tracks of my own that I enjoy playing out (I know ... it's a producer/DJ thing. It's very silly.) so this is fun. I hope you dig it as well.

There are other cool remixes of "Beat Freak" by Paul Woolford, Fort Knox Five, and Scott Hardkiss himself. You can grab it now from <A HREF="https://www.beatport.com/en-US/html/content/release/detail/248234/Beat%20Freak%20EP">Beatport</A>, <A HREF="http://www.traxsource.com/index.php?act=show&fc=tpage&cr=titles&cv=56472">Traxsource</A>, <A HREF="http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/beat-freak-feat-the-prophetz/id367778766?i=367778770&uo=6">iTunes</A>, and many other digital shops.

Scott Hardkiss - Beat Freak (Q-Burns Abstract Message Remix) (God Within Recordings)

Recently Scott Hardkiss let me hear a remix he recorded for the Brooklyn-based psychedelic rock combo The Veda Rays. I was quite taken aback at how cool it was, and loved how the gentle, wistful vocal refrain interacted with Scott's rhythm-scape. However, I was hearing the song as more like a dream, where the hypnotic groove beckoned the listener into the track, only to be greeted by the vocal at the halfway mark. So I constructed this re-edit of Scott's remix where the vocal is teased (and spaced out a bit) before it finally makes its appearance. 

I can't take much credit as pretty much everything you're hearing is that of either The Veda Rays or Scott Hardkiss. I just did some re-arranging and extra echoey bits. That said, I'm pretty stoked about this cut and I've been having a lot of fun including it in my dreamier DJ sets. It's available from <A HREF="http://www.beatport.com/release/all-your-pretty-fates-scott-hardkiss-remixes/867270">Beatport right now</a>.

11BBE - Seven Days And One Week (Original Mix)

**Track streams at 128 kbps**

Here's a remix for San Francisco DJ dude <a href="http://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/jpsoul">JP Soul</a> and the newly re-launched <a href="http://www.roamrecordings.com/home/">Roam Recordings</a>. 

Remix notes: Many of the elements from the original have gone a bit topsy-turvy here; reversed, effected, distorted, stomped upon with boat shoes. One listener detected a sample from a science fiction movie but it was the wrong movie and the wrong sample. That said, there's something from some PBS advertisement that's been recorded out of the TV speaker by accident while the mic was hot. Don't even try … you'll never guess. I'm also playing a synthesizer I'm holding in a single bare palm at one point, so that's a bit of an accomplishment. Yes, there's a cowbell. Thanks for noticing.

This Backsliding EP has three cool original tracks by JP Soul in addition to my remix. You should check it out. It's available right now from <A HREF="http://www.beatport.com/release/backsliding/919852" target="_blank">Beatport</A>, <A HREF="http://www.junodownload.com/products/backsliding/1976074-02/" target="_blank">Juno Download</A>, and <A HREF="https://www.stompy.com/Ep/371708" target="_blank">Stompy</A>. It's also going to be out on 12" vinyl very soon, which is amusing as I already artificially added some vinyl pops.

An-Ten-Nae - Acid Crunk Meltdown

Radiohead - Idioteque (Q-Burns Abstract Message Remix)

Hawke swoops down from the perch of his recent album +++ to release another solid remix package on Eighth Dimension. Two tracks from that album are represented: the feel-good electronica anthem "Everything Is Happening At The Same Time" and the slinky, reggae-infused "Inside Job." An all-star cast of Q-Burns Abstract Message, Tal M. Klein, Atnarko, and Gavin Hardkiss himself provide the steady stream of top notch remixes.

"Everything is Happening At The Same Time" has gained oodles of notoriety after its use as the soundtrack to the Coachella time-lapse video featured on popular mutant culture blog Boing Boing (click <a href="http://boingboing.net/2009/09/30/bb-video-coachella-t.html">HERE</a> to see it). Q-Burns Abstract Message flicks the memory switch with his remix of the track, attempting to capture the feel of an early 90's indie-dance remix fused with contemporary antics. It's a nice dose of "heavy Balearica" as Q-BAM rides his MIDI-equipped surfboard into the sunset. Atnarko, coming off recent successes for Lazy Days and Onethirty, deeply dubs out the song, covering it in a seductively hypnotic sheen. After-hours DJs take note. Finally, Gavin Hardkiss, proprietor of the Hawke alias, crafts his own take stripping "Everything" down to rhythm and melody while adding more than a few new delightful bits and splashes.

 "Inside Job" is also revisited, with Aniligital Music's Tal M. Klein transforming the original's trepidation skank into a lush and cosmic undersea excursion. Endlessly chiming guitars and haunting vocal snippets invite the listener like a siren's song leading to a cozy and warm envelope of sound. We wager it may be the most beautiful thing you hear this week … or ever ...

Here's a bleepy remix commissioned by the Apollo label for their fine act Peluca. This one's a bit of a speaker rattler, with that growling, filtered bass and all, and the only secret I'll give up is that the programmed drum track was inspired by Babe Ruth's "The Mexican." Oops … I've said too much!

Taken from the album Modo (The Remixes) by Peluca, available on the Apollo label. Get it from <A HREF="http://www.beatport.com/track/modo-q-burns-abstract-message-remix/4028130" target="_blank">Beatport</A>, and <A HREF="https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/modo-the-remixes/id589634620" target="_blank">iTunes</A>, and loads of other fine digital shops.
