Remix of a Classic Rolling Stones Song

This is one of the better remixes I've heard of a classic song. 
It's definitely worth listening to, both because it's a Rolling Stones song and because it's a good track.
This piece is a side project from one of LA's own music industry experts, Reece McLughlin (BeatLab Records), aka Reecifer.

The link to the song is below. Go to Soundcloud now and check it out;
if you like it, you can download it for free!


I wonder what the odds are the rock 'n roll super group, the Rolling Stones.

Stay in the Know (insider information about the events):
This is a letter to the manager of Avalon from one of the people who attended the Lee Burridge event just last Saturday. If you remember, the Electric Daisy Carnival was taking place this same weekend, and DJ's from Friday night's E.D.C. schedule were 'rumored' as special guests at Avalon on Saturday night. Sure enough, after Lee Burridge was done spinning, James Zabiela and Sasha showed up (unannounced to the crowd) and put on an hour and a half set between the two of them. This customer did not make it to see the two guests....

With an ear for the tunes and an innate understanding of what works on the dancefloor M.A.N.D.Y. are on a seemingly never-ending circuit of the globe with their in-demand DJ sets. From their first meeting as 15-year-olds on a tennis court, the 2 young men who dreamed of making a career of music, parties and having fun have come a long way, and are now well & truly at the top of their game. 

2008 was the penultimate year for M.A.N.D.Y.  culminating in 2 of their most memorable DJ sessions: one at the helm of UK club Fabric’s esteemed mix CD series, and the other at the rain-drenched Love Parade in Germany, where they played live for 500,000 music lovers who refused to run for cover from the wet and continued dancing in the streets for the awestruck M.A.N.D.Y. boys.

Special Effects

 

This photo was taken at an after hours dubstep party. The party was free, for those who paid the $12-$20 at the door to the original party.... This guy had an interesting setup.... this was a laptop with an effects projector attached. The gear is chest mounted, so he has the screen below eye level and he can focus the beam of the projector more succinctly. His entire M.O. was walking around, finding interesting nooks and crannies at the artist loft/warehouse structure we were stationed at, and adding a bit of technology and color to those nooks and crannies. Unfortunately, by the time he broke this harness out and got strapped it on, only small pockets of people remained....

Wish I could have spoken with him, but he was rather engrossed in his equipment.

You don't know anything about music

As I wander just a bit farther down my path, these last steps.....

.... have me recognizing that I may have fallen out of touch with how to appreciate music and what music's all about. You see, I think I have a feel for, and an understanding of, most genres of music. I also think that I have a qualified ear for determining good music from bad (at least, according to my taste). I can point out a familiar song from a chorus, harmony, melody, or sometimes, from just a chord. In a way, I'd say I'm in-tune with the musical hum of the planet; and no new music slips by without my notice.

But, the other day, I realized I might be 'sleep walking' through my musical experiences.

I'm unsure if the trigger was a new phone app that allowed me to read the real-time lyrics of a playing song, or if it was a friend forcing a pair headphones on me (and the world of musical bliss they invoke); but, something somewhere, along my wandering path, made me acknowledge that I might just be selling myself short; REAL short.  

You see, I know most of the words to most my favorite songs. And I admit that I sing along to many of them. But in this singing, I am shutting off my ability to take in the nuances of the song. I may not know the correct lyrics, or I may have a preconceived, incorrect notion of what the artist is trying to convey. Either way, I am doing myself a huge disservice by not experiencing each moment in music and by not feeling what the message is for me this day.

For, as the immortal American writer, Henry David Thoreau, brought to light in his renowned classic, Walden, more than 150 years ago:

"Most men have learned to read to serve a paltry convenience, as they have learned to cipher in order to keep accounts and not be cheated in trade; but of reading as a noble intellectual exercise they know little or nothing; yet this only is reading, in a high sense, not that which lulls us as a luxury and suffers the nobler faculties to sleep the while, but what we have to stand on tiptoe to read and devote our most alert and wakeful hours to."

This quote refers to how people read; but the lesson applies to how we listen, as well. I, for one, have not been standing on tiptoe to listen, nor devoting my most alert and wakeful hours to getting the most out of my exchanges with  music. My new mission is to engage the limitless expressions of music and to experience them more fully when I listen; even those pieces I think I know inside and out.

'Cause if I don't, I prove I don't know anything about music.
