Remixing DOOM is so bittersweet these days. It always hits me so hard how talented he was, and the dedication to music just shows so clearly in his verses, it’s hard to describe but I always get goosebumps, like I can hear his soul and passion in the rhymes. It really is an honour to be able to use this verse for a remix, I’m too grateful for being able to put my own spin on them, the subject matter really resonates with me, and I really wanted to remix this track with my own perspective on ‘ladies’ in mind. Even though he’s clearly having fun with the metaphor on this track, a lot of the lines are mad deep and have a proper realism to them, so I wanted to try and really bring that out in this remix. What DOOM’s talking about is deep at the end of the day, a relationship with drugs is a serious topic and in this generation, I’d say it’s widespread, and to be honest I see it as completely endemic of being unable to face reality and it’s problems, and trying to escape them, choosing an easy route that only keeps you trapped and crushes ambition. That’s just my outlook though, but I really hear that pain and sorrow in DOOM’s verses, and I wanted to build on that and bring it out more by making the beat mad emotional, using vocals (which are actually a mans but sped up) that kind of give the ‘ladies’ a presence behind DOOM’s vocals. The piano is layered from the same sample, which is another melancholic melody that I layered over the vocals/bassline to try and build on that vibe of the track. Overall I’m pretty gassed with what I made here, it’s really different to the original track but I’m happy with that, I just wanted to tap into what I rate and hear in the verses and build on that, which I think I did here.

Peace

Original mix of second beat: https://soundcloud.com/tapeheadloops/flow-is-like

I've been sitting on these 2 beats for ages, never knew what to do for a remix with either of them. The first beat is a flip of a sample which is so dope but I wanted to add more on top of it to make it more my own. I chopped it up loads to flip it in my own style and speed up the BPM, but I wanted something else to set it apart from the original and give the track more variety. This week I was really struggling with what I wanted to work on, so I looked back at this beat and thought about what would blend well with it. I experimented for ages, and luckily I had another old beat which went really well with it, completely different vibe but they both complemented each other mad well. As you can hear in the original mix of that beat, it's got a cool vibe (I called it victory when I made it cause it made me think of old school video game music when you win a boss battle), but on it's own it gets a bit repetitive, which is why I pitched it down in the original. Cause it was lacking on the low end it fit perfectly with the main sample, which is very full sounding, and acted as a perfect layer ontop. I also filtered low end layers for both beats, really wanted to go for that fat warm sound here which I think worked well for sure. 

Both these beats put together made a nice bittersweet vibe, which made me think of this acapella for the remix. I've remixed the main acapella before but never the remix version, and it ended up fitting perfectly, the hook and flows went perfect with the structure of the beat, and I actually might prefer the remix version overall, it's hard to say to be honest but I definitely prefer the hook on this version for sure. Was also in the mindset to remix this as I'm about to leave my current job and start a new one, which is very bittersweet for me, cause I do like where and who I work with, but moving on is the right thing to do with mad benefits and room for improvement etc (it's a more music focused job too which I'm very excited about). Hope people enjoy this one, let me know what you think!

Peace
