Beef Remix Week, Wednesday : Darwin Meets Dionysos At The Alien Bar

Remix Week Techno Remix Of.. Techno Audio Beef Today. Darwin finds out at the Alien Bar.


'Dionysos - Alien Bar'
'Dionysos - Alien Bar - Darwin's You'll Find Out Mix'
Original from Dionysos' 2003 12" vinyl Alien Bar on Sonic Convergence Records

We have some original Darwin techno beef for day three of Nuclear Beef Remix Week. Hopefully the banging techno beats will help get the hump up out of your week.

This is a remix I did for Dionysos in mid 2003. He solicited remixes from a techno mailing list we're on, and I submitted a pair of them. As I prefer to do when remixing, I didn't listen to the original track until after I finished my mix. I just took the remix kit and wrote a full-length techno track in Propellerheads Reason.

I'm happy with the result, though I think the track could use a re-mastering. The lead bass sound needs work. Everything else is pleasantly intricate and funky, just how I like it. I remember when I sent these mixes to Dionysos, he said that they both have that "classic Darwin flavor" which may or may not have been a compliment.

The original "Alien Bar" is a moody, thumping techno track. My remix ads a bit more bounce and a heavily tweaked vocal snippet from The Jolly Boys. The ultra-fast gaps/snips on the vocal let you know that.. you'll find out.

Tune in all this week for more original remix loving!
