Album: YES (2009)
Indaba Music held a contest late last year inviting producers to remix all 11 tracks from k-os’ album YES! The prizes for winning each individual competition were $1000 and inclusion on the companion remix album that would be packaged with the studio version.
I jumped on this right away because I really dig k-os’ sound. It’s the kind of no holds barred Hip-Hop that stands out in a watered down, over commercialized market. To say remixing his brand of Hip-Hop was a challenge is an understatement. But where’s the fun if there isn’t a little bit of difficulty involved in the creative process?
I was unable to remix all 11 tracks and ended up working on just 6. But that was defnitely more than I expected to complete. Did I win any of the contests I entered? Nope. Did I come close? I’m not really sure, but at least I submitted something worth listening to.
Anyway, the following mixes fall within various genres, I didn’t stick to House like I normally do. I kind of changed things up to see what I was capable of. Any constructive comments welcomed.
Thanks.
