Technocracy Jay Kaufman

A remix that's sadly remained unreleased of a Toronto indie rock band that I did. The label asked me to do it in an Anjunadeep style and I have to say I'm quite proud of what I delivered.

The first hour of this was aired on the Progressive Channel of DI.fm for the 10th Anniversary of the Old Norsk Sessions show hosted by Nitemer. However, this mix is actually just over five hours and very much the stereotypical DJ 'journey'. It is a representation of how I would play over the course of an entire night... Starting out with progressive breaks, moving into some progressive house and then landing upon melodic techno with a few classics and also exclusive unreleased Jay Kaufman productions thrown in for good measure..

Turn this up loud and dance away!

Artist debut for my new project 'Owl'. Owl comprises of Nicholas Vining and myself. We have been working away slowly in the studio for just over a year and this is the first of our tracks to bear fruition from start to finish oiutside of several remixes we've done.

A cheeky sample pinched from a powerful YouTube reading by Benedict Cumberbatch acts as the centrepoint to this dancefloor burning tune. All the right bits are included... Epic buildup, breakdown, hands in the air 'woo' moment and finally a release.

This is just the first of many and will be on our forthcoming E.P.

Progressive Trance? Melodic Techno? Progressive House? Either way, I'm quite proud of this! Literally just finished it. Now to sign it somewhere!

This is a combined effort in between myself and my new studio partner, Nicholas Vining - who records with me as Owl.

I've spent probably 40 hours on this remix - and I feel it shows. The production is dense and there's lots of layers of various things going on - including edits of the vocals, filtering of the various parts, shaping the original bassline into something new, etc. I have been following Andrew for a while now and upon hearing this, I immediately thought I could ramp up the original for the dancefloor. While the original is a pop song, I think I was able to maintain the concepts of the original whilst injecting some more energy that will keep club dancefloors swaying.

I'm exceptionally proud of this remix. While this is the first collaborative remix I've done as Owl, I had already started it before Nicholas came in to help me with the chorus and when I got stuck. He wrote some beautiful Rhodes chords as well as some ad-lib Rhodes lead and synth lead sounds to set the whole bridge off.

This is a cover of Fat Boy Slim's 'Star 69' track. I've always been partial the the original mix and I had a few of the parts, but not enough to really make it a remix, so I wrote around what little I had and it tunred into this.

Released through Kiwi progressive house label Emotional Content Recordings in February of 2019
