Tons of Friends Story – Episode #3

tofstory-transilvania

Collaborations with Steed Lord have occurred on many occasions in the past. We made a remix for them and always shared each other’s tracks and ideas over the internet.

We met for the first time after a while, in Switzerland, in a club where both had to perform and we ended up dancing like nuts to a fantastic Hip Hop set by A-Trak. Since then, every time we see each other, it’s party time!!!

Beat for Transilvania was made about 2 years ago and it features many characteristic of rhythms we were producing back then. On the other hand the melody is something completely different from what we always did… sounds like music from a horror movie!

When we sent them the production to sing on it, that is exactly the direction we asked to follow. We wanted them to think about it, as the soundtrack for a film set in Transilvania… That is of course how the name came up and now we can say: They totally understood what we wanted!

We went to downtown records in New York to visit them and were told about a cool Swedish band called Miike Snow they were working with. We listened to some of their works and were asked to do a remix. We accepted, but at one condition, that we would have done what we wanted and decided to do something different, not an ordinary dance track and so the Animal rmx came out.

We were convinced it would be turned down. Everyone in that period wanted us to produce Day ‘N’ Nite type of rmx, but surprisingly they didn’t! Actually they liked it and we were so excited about it that immediately thought we should have done something together for our album. That’s how Remedy was conceived.

We have no demos to show the evolution of this song, because it came out like that after the first attempt… What’s cool is that the group liked it so much that they decided to do a version for their album calling it “in search of”. Given that Tons of Friends was supposed to be out before  “Miike Snow“, we did not have anything against it. In fact we thought: “that’s about showing some mutual love too.”

You are probably wondering why we did not want to do something like Day ‘N’ Nite with them, even though it was our biggest success. Well, simply because you can do an infinite number of remixes with that style, but only one out them will fly that high… and once you did one… it’s better to change! Otherwise you may look like someone in the desperate tentive of replicating yourself…

We try to keep pushing things forward!
