This weeks Free Beat Friday #fbf is a simple little ditty made with two turntables and little creative liberty. I recently resurrected this remix (I did it about 14 year ago using two Technique SL-1200MK2, a.k.a. The Wheels of Steel and a crappy recorder) and thought it would be a great example of how remix is a mash up of musical ideas. Sometimes remix elements are intentionally created for one another. Other times, such as with this remix, two completely separate musical ideas, born autonomous of each other, are brought together to create something altogether different – something new.

While listening to this track you will not only hear the cherished pop and fuzz that only comes from vinyl, but you will also hear, especially at the end, a horrible buzz generated from compute/recorder noise. Please listen through the buzz as I was a total recording nOOb at the time of this remix. I did the remix using Stevie Wonder’s Past Time Paradise and a Jungle Break album I picked up while living and DJing in Germany. I have no idea who did the breakbeat, as I no longer have the vinyl. I hope you enjoy.
