Yup, this one took all of 24 hours to see the light of day from initial idea to finished recording…
I love it when that happens!
The story goes like this:
I wrote an article about Bran Van 3000 for a website I collaborate with, and in the process discovered that they had a release I was unaware of, some my buddy’s Fred Everything‘s remixes of a track off of their last album, 2010’s The Garden.
I have no clue as to how I managed to not be aware of that release since Fred is a friend and I’m the #1 Bran Van fan!
In any case, I fell in love with the main remix and, by it’s very structure, it became clear it had to be the closer of a new mix it inspired me to record.
Normally, I will make a selection of tracks I’m feeling at the moment, settle on the opener and work from there.
In this case, then, I had a closer, so I worked my way backwards until I felt I had a good opener that would build up to the closer I had chosen. Intellectually, it was a fun process and I’m utterly pleased with the result!
Et voilà!
I give you Endless Summer (I Love You Jack). Feel free to make a donation to help cover the cost of file hosting!
Now, some of you may or may not know it, but Jack is my son who I only get to see every other weekend, except in the summer, and this summer I got to see a lot of him, but summer is (almost) over and I will see less of him until at least the end of October, and all I could think of while recording this mix was him, hence the tagline…
Enjoy, my lovelies!
