Acid Angel From Asia is the first tripleS subunit, formed in the early stages of the 24-member group. Generation is the introduction to the tripleS sound, with its funky, danceable groove that would become the staple of many future songs from the group.
For my remix, I wanted to retain some of the funkiness of the original version but add my flavour. At first, I thought of programming a simple 4/4 drum pattern, but as I progressed through the project, that changed to something with more movement to complement the vocals and give a solid foundation for the rest of the instrumentation.
After that, it was simply a matter of piecing together the rest of the instruments to match the feel I was going for. The horn section was the most challenging as it was a critical transition between different song parts. So, after failing many times to get the right sound, I just sampled the horns from the original version and placed them in the appropriate spots.
The final result is a remix that isn’t too far from the feel of the original version.
