Above & Beyond – ‘Homecoming (LTJ Bukem Remix)’
“Firstly, it was an absolute pleasure remixing Above & Beyond. The music we both represent draws from such similar influences. ‘Homecoming’ gave me a sense of warmth and calmness that I wanted to represent in my remix. I built the remix around the most important elements, the piano chords, and melody. I replayed the chords as a starting point and the rest just fell into place. I also love the analog synthesized arpeggios that run quietly through the original, so I resampled a few of them and made them louder in my mix. Again, thanks to the guys, and hope you enjoy my interpretation.”
