New to The Ledge; Stevie Nicks Remix Project

GoldDustOrphan · #1 01-14-2008, 02:47 PM

Hi everyone,

Cliffs Notes Version: I was 13 year-old dedicated Pat Benatar fan when I bought the single for Stop Draggin' My Heart Around at Sears after seeing the Stevie's video on Solid Gold. Two years later, I was forced to tell Pat the bad news - I was leaving her for Stevie and I hoped she wouldn't take it too hard.
Anyway, the Ledge is a wonderful resource and radiates a great sense of community. I work with a growing armada of DJs, nightclubs and event producers, etc., so now that I'm suitably entrenched in the industry, I will be actively advocating and campaigning for more remixes until you, I and Stevie can't spin no more.

Below are the first of 20 direct download links. I will posting all of my Stevie/FM dance remixes. I have included some background on a few (which follows the links.) I'm sure most of you of excavated many of these, but I hope there's one or two that is new. I spoke with Tracy Young yesterday, and basically...any day now. More info below...

1) Deep Dish Feat. Stevie Nicks - Dreams (Dub Mix & Club Mix set rip)
The "Dub Mix & Club Mix set rip" was actually ripped from one of Deep Dish's live sets where Sharam mixed in and out of the their Club & Dub mixes.

2) Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (White Label 2004 Remix)
DJ Susan Morabito - who broke the glass ceiling for women circuit DJs - has played this track during Morning Parties on Fire Island. Last year, she included in a special promo set.

3) Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen (White Label 2002 Remix)
My friend DJ Richie LaDue surprised me with this one Saturday night in Provincetown. He played it and then handed me the vinyl. He knew his life depended on it.

4) Stevie Nicks - Stand Back (Terranova & Austin Leeds Remix)
Stevie Nicks - Stand Back (Starkillers Vegas Strip Unreleased Mix)
Nick Terranova also records, remixes and DJs under the name Starkillers. This mix was favored by more adventurous electro house DJs.

5) Stevie Nicks - Stand Back (Disconet Mix)
Disconet was the first DJ remix service widely accepted by dance clubs throughout the U.S. and elsewhere. Released in 1986, a few years after Stand Back's original release, this 7 minute edit by Art Maharg contains samples from Rhiannon and Edge of Seventeen. It's really dated, with faux synth wallops that sound very Fisher Price My First Keyboard.

6) Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way (The Dave Aude Ultrasound Long Remix)
Most have heard Dave's great remix, but usually only the radio edit. The Ultrasound Long Remix is even better.

7) Stevie Nicks - Planets Of The Universe (Illicit Vocal Dub Mix)
I uploaded the illicit Vocal Dub Mix of Planets, because it was this track - with a new keyboard line and a carthartic re-editing of Stevie's throwaway line "You Won't Forget!" that DJs were playing at peak hours or mashing with Madonna's Music. Some of the most influential DJs still throw it down now and then. While Tracy's mix was gorgeous and maintained the integrity of the song, it was far too down-tempo for prime-time or after-hours sets. However, it was Tracy's version (and that fact that she used the vocals & lyrics cut from the album edit) that sold CDs. If you have remix by Victor Calderone, it's mislabeled. Victor did not remix Planets.

8) Stevie Nicks - Mistress of My Fate [The Dealer] (acapella)
9) Fleetwood Mac - Landslide (Guitar Twang D.I.Y. acapella)
These two acapellas have been floating around a number of remixers looking for new tools to create tracks with. Paul Van Dyk has toyed with The Dealer. I don't know who extracted the Landslide D.I.Y. acapella, but it's not a sanctioned acapella. Many young remixers get their start crafting white label or bootleg mixes by extracting their own acapella tracks. Typically, they sound somewhat filtered, etc.

D.I.Y. stands for Do It Yourself. There are several ways to extract the vocal from a track, but the best way is THE PHASE CANCELLATION METHOD. It will not be a 100% perfect acapella in comparison to a sanctioned acapella, but if done properly the extracted acapella will be good enough for a remix project.

PCM: Get an instrumental of a song, invert the phase (sometimes called flipping), and mix it with the original.. If done right everything besides the vocal is canceled out. You can do this in any sequencer like cubase or acid.. The instrumental must be exactly the same time/pitch however. and mp3s might not work if they are badly encoded. Zoom right in to see the 2 waveforms next to each other (look for kick drum hits) and line them up. (I cut & pasted the last paragraph. I've seen this done a million times, but don't ask me to do it. I got a headache just reading about it.

I am always pushing the few Stevie acapella tracks I have (Blue Denim, Ghosts) on every remixer I know, if only to point out Stevie's untapped goldmine of passionate, ready for the club vocals. Some have bitten. But I really need more acapellas. They don't have to be complete songs. I have many fragments from Master Reels, etc. I'd really love to hear what all of you think. What songs would you like to hear remixed? I'm also thinking outside the box. Throwing a galloping backbeat behind If Anyone Falls or Talk to Me is too predictable and unnecessary. I can tell you that rising star DJ Ranny, who has several Billboard charting remixes, has been working on a non-commissioned Stevie remix. It's nowhere near finished, but it's a peak hour tribal track. Expect Tracy to leak Edge of Seventeen any day. I've been harassing her with comedic bits on her myspace page. She's holding off because Edge may get a physical CD release. It hasn't been decided yet. If you're in LA next Sunday, she'll be playing it at Scandal.

A few more:

Edge of Seventeen (Thunderous Olympian's Acid Rave-Up)
(Absolutely horrible, but it was popular in Scandanavian clubs.)

Fleetwood Mac - Tell Me Lies (AXC Remix)
Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies (Mario Ochoa vs. DJ Fist Remix)
Harry Peet vs. Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies (Original Mix)

Thanks so much
-Rick

Impressive set of music here. I have a lot of these but a lot I dont. Thank you so much. And Congrats on your good taste in switching over to Stevie. I CANNOT wait to hear the Edge remixes from Tracy Young. Have you heard them yet? Any reviews? Thanks again!!

John

I heard it via cellphone will Tracy was playing it, but I could distinquish it from all the ambient noise and screaming. Tracy had Giangi Cappis handle the engineering and mastering, so it's going to sound really good. A bunch of other guys are remixing it. So they'll be dragging their feet, like Warner always does, to release mixes and the less commerical remixes will get refused and then leaked by the remixers.

Stevie no longer relevant? The most heralded and influential DJs/producers/remixers in various dance genres (house, drum & base, electro clash, etc.) keep looking to her - and Fleetwood Mac - for inspiration and ideas. In Europe's underground scene her vernacular might be lost in the translation, but her sensibility is understood and emulated. Even in NY's drag scene, the queens don't approach Stevie as camp, but with tribute by singing live and dismissing lipsynch. If she's not relevant, who is? Okay, preaching to the converted. My first letter-to-the-editor defending Stevie was in 1986 when a Boston Globe music critic fertilized his concert review with fat jokes. Twenty-two years later and I still haven't moved on.

Yesterday I posted 20 remixed tracks. This morning I added another 28. I folded yesterday's links into the new batch. New links have an *.

For some variety, I included a dance cover of Rooms on Fire by Europa XL w/Natalie James. Remix by Almighty. Also of interest is High Contrast's drum & bass track, Days Go By, which was a huge hit in that genre (mostly overseas). It features a very healthy sample from Edge of Seventeen, including Stevie's voice. The title is ripped from the lyrics. It was a commercially-released single, but Stevie is not credited.There is also a music video on youtube.com. Look for Deep Dish's great remix of Go Your Own Way. There is also a dull white label vinyl remix of Sara.

where did you get your name from i like it?

GoldDustOrphan · #14 01-15-2008, 12:03 PM

Even though I haven't acted in years, I'm part of a theater company called The Gold Dust Orphans. One of my best friends, Ryan Landry, is the company's founder and driving creative force. Ryan and the Orphans have received national acclaim & awards for a very distinctive brand of comedy performed in Boston and Provincetown. Ryan's plays have been produced in LA, Seattle, Miami & New Orleans. Stevie happens to be our favorite and Ryan writes one Stevie mention (or obvious visual moment) into each show and only her music can be played while the audience is being seated. It's more subtle than it sounds. We became the Gold Dust Orphans when our first theater space was shut down by the Fire Dept, leaving us without a theater. Ryan has performed at Night of 1,000 Stevies. His friend founded the event.

I heard Tracy's set at a club in Atlanta. She played her new remix of Edge as the last song of the evening, by that time the pitch was so fast you couldn't even recognize it as being Stevie singing. I guess we'll have to wait to single comes out to really tell.
Thanks for these remixes!
