Loved this song even before I got called to remix it. Went through about 20 different incarnations trying to not overpower or do a disservice to the song itself. I opted for a housey club vibe that wasn't too aggressive but not weak either...

B R U N 0 M A R $ -- G R E N @ D E [STROBE GOES BOOM REMIX]
Unfortunately the powers that be for this song have issue with the free promotion even though it's not a bootleg and was released on Ultimix, so that's why the names cryptic.
PRODUCTION INFO:
For this mix, I didn't have access to an acapella or parts so I started with a WAV of the 2 track master, which was at 110.5 BPM. I bumped it up to 125 for the remix.
After lining it up in Ableton Live with a kick at 125, I started toying around with several ideas until I settled on the blueprint for the mix I ended up with. My main go to VST synths are LennarDigital Sylenth1 and Refx Nexus which I used multiple instances of for this mix, in addition to the Korg Legacy M1 for the famous organ bass sound.
I added some stock filters and EQ to the master track to knock out some of the low end which I would be replacing with my own bass and drums anyway and add some midrange to get the vocals to stand out more.
The bass is a combination of 2 organ (M1 and Sylenth1) and 1 saw with the filter down (Sylenth1).
The pads are 3 separate passes, 1 very muted almost electric piano sounding (Nexus), 1 analog and warm (Sylenth1) and another with a gated organ (Sylenth1)
There are also 2 other synth parts, orchestral strings which I doubled the parts from the original with (Nexus) and a Arpeggio to add something different (Sylenth1).
The drums are mostly from my library.
