Kitty Wells – ‘Honky Tonk Angels’ (Fintan’s Rejected Devil’s Remix)

Some of the best ideas for remixes seem to come up late at night at parties !  Late at night / early morning we were listening to random old songs and ‘Honky Tonk Angels’ by Kitty Wells came on.  The suggestion was made to me that this would be a good one to remix so of course I decided to give it a go recently.   I had no idea where I was going to take this 50’s country track but from the early stages I decided my usual Electro / House sound wouldn’t work here.  So instead (and nicely timed for the Summer) I went with a country / hip hop vibe very different from my usual remixes.  So kick back and open up a few cold ones and chill to this one 🙂

The original was  featured on the ‘Devil’s Rejects” soundtrack, one of my favourite Horror movies of all time, directed by Rob Zombie.

‘Balance’ Mix – Spin South West, May 2012

Friday May 11th I was back on the ‘Balance’ show with Paul Webb on Spin South West FM for a guest mix slot.  Plenty of bass as usual here so turn it up loud and watch out for your speakers exploding lol.

DJ Sneak interview for XLR-Radio

When I started DJing & Producing back in 1996 two of my main influences were and still are DJ Sneak & Armand Van Helden.  A few years later I got to see Armand Van Helden play in the Red Box Dublin.  I had been waiting many years for the chance to see DJ Sneak play and I finally got that chance last night.  DJ Sneak rocked the house @ Strutt, Dolans Warehouse, Limerick for a full 3 hour set.  Just before Carlos (DJ Sneak) hit the decks I was backstage to have a chat with him exclusively for XLR-Radio.

I have to say he is one of the friendliest dudes you will ever meet and for a guy as world famous as he is he has no attitude at all..not like some other premier league DJ’s I’ve supported or met in the past..DJ Sneak is straight up and to the point, its all about the love of the music, as in good quality house music..the way it should be 🙂

Paul Engemann – ‘Push It To The Limit’ (Fintan’s Flashback In The Garage Remix)

Hey so just recently I was having a conversation with some friends on Facebook about how we used to play the original of this a lot back in the day when we were partying.  The idea came up to do a remix and I thought it would be be interesting to see what I could do with it.   The original is around 155 BPM so I took it down to 131 BPM and created a house track from that…there is a definite flavour of my old speed garage days in there hence the ‘Flashback’ and ‘Garage’ in the remix title 😉

Taken from the ‘Scarface’ soundtrack the original is by Paul Engemann, ‘Push It To The Limit’ (Fintan’s Flashback In The Garage Remix).
