Blue Monday (Remix)
A gentle remix of Blue Monday — extending out the intro and some other grooves for mixing, a little rearranging, a couple of transitions.

My remixes of various songs over the years. Most of the time, my goal is to rearrange the song a bit for the way I like to mix when DJing and to emphasize a groove I really like while eliminating stuff I find annoying.

Not really a remix of “Sunglasses at Night”, but a heavy borrowing. My goal was a to create a track with a nice groove that would seem vaguely familiar when played out but then become really familiar as the track went on.

A remix of a Raymond Scott track off of “Manhattan Research, Inc”.

A remix of the Don Henley song, just spooling out the opening groove that’s so good.

Miss Otis Regrets (Perkowitz Mix)
A slow, creepy remix of the Ella Fitzgerald original. I intended it to go with the “Fourth Trimester” music, but we decided it’s too creepy to soothe infants.

Sargeant Ridiculous (Perkowitz Truncates)
A remix of the Chaircrusher song. I basically took his complex, evolving sounds and cut them down to simple tech-house loops (hence “truncates”) and then grooved it out for eight minutes. That’s the Perkowitz way.

Tickertape (Perkowitz Mix). My remix of the Codebase track, appearing on the Tickertape EP.

A remix of the classic Cajmere track from 1992. This should be my theme song.

I Can’t Go For That (Perkowitz Mix)
A remix of the Hall & Oates classic. I had forgotten what a great groove it had at the beginning until I heard it at a wedding recently. So I had to extend out that groove and then do some chopping and filtering on the rest.

I took two minute-long tracks from Section 25’s album “Nature + Degree” and spun them out into this.

Another Section 25 remix, this one (mostly) removing vocals I didn’t like and focusing on a nice groove.

Looking from a Hilltop (Perkowitz Mix)
Remix of one of Section 25’s best-known (and most-sampled) tracks. I combined a couple of the original mixes with some great grooves from Stephen Morris’s recent remix.

Looking from a Hilltop (Perkowitz Dub)
Had to give this song another remix, featuring the killer 808 loop from Stephen Morris’s Retrofit remix front and center.

Sweet Dreams My LA Ex (Perkowitz Mix)
Remix of the great Rachel Stevens song.

Sweet Dreams My LA Ex (Perkowitz Dub)
More beat-heavy remix of the Rachel Stevens song, highlighting the trademark distorted 808.

Kriss Kross and House of Pain play surprisingly well together, but getting Van Halen into the party was a little harder. It was worth the effort though.

The Pointer Sisters sure knew how to create a groove. I just took some of my favorite bits of this song and played around with them.

The synth line on this song just demanded a remix. I had trouble making the rest of it work, but it’s worth it for the synth line.

Too Much Time On My Hands (Perkowitz Mix)
I heard this on the radio a couple weeks ago and the opening synth line is irresistible.

Ready for the World had some great drum programming, on this and other songs. Must have it.

The Glamorous Life (Perkowitz Mix)
The drums on the original are irresistible, so I had to remix it.
Comments off
Do You Wanna Funk (Perkowitz Mix)
Patrick Cowley, who produced the original, was a dance music genius.
Comments off
The Glamorous Life (Perkowitz Clean)
Basically the same as my first remix, but with the vocals left untreated, so people can sing along when you play it.

Into the Groove (Perkowitz Mix)
I had forgotten what good grooves this song had. Plus great use of the 707/727 combo.
