Track 6: Grey Men Road Trip 2015
Original Artist: Visor Jack
Remix Artist: Visor Jack
Original Track: soundcloud.com/103_records/visor-jack-grey-men-road-trip

Y'know, I don't think I made it quite obvious enough that I'm a fan of Fake Blood with this one. I dunno, can you tell?

Blatant sarcasm aside, one of the hardest non-musical tasks in preparing for 12 Remixes was picking what songs to remix, let alone how to remix them. I knew I wanted a healthy stable of recent stuff and older stuff, but as for what specifically has mostly remained fluid. Grey Men Road Trip, a far-too-repetitive house jam I did back in 2010, was one of the songs that I stuck with after choosing, and that's probably a good thing, because ideas started coming to me more or less right after finishing Toppling Titans. In a rare stroke of luck for me, it actually came out more or less exactly like the imaginary song constructed in my head did; the middle/"bass" breakdown sections I decided upon "on the day", but things like recreating the chords/bass/'melody' from the original song to sound like a sample from a funk record, a sample from Plan 9, and even the way that first drum break was cut were all there in my head before I even laid the track out.

It's one of my favourites on the album so far, for three reasons. First of all, I've wanted to do a twitch house style joint just like this for ages, and finally managed to see it through; secondly, I actually really like the contrast between this and some of the other material- like, compare this to Toppling Titans, they don't sound like they were written by the same person, and for me that's kind of a plus; finally, I'm always getting told I need to upgrade to this program or that program, and thus I take a sincerely perverse pleasure in taking software as old and esoteric as Music 2000, and doing a track in a genre that was developed years after that software was made (practically a decade after, in this case).

Also WOOOOOOO HALFWAY POINT HOLY SHIT
