Chester French Remix Roundup + News

January 25th, 2010

Whoomp There It Is (LOUDER!)

Man oh man it’s been a busy weekend at AW central. Writing some new music, doing a lot of work with my pals Project Jenny Project Jan for their new record (which is AMAZING and getting closer and closer to done!), and I’m wrapping up my latest remix. I expect/hope to be sharing it with y’all in the next few days! Just tweaking the final mixing and mastering on it + testing it out on a few different soundsystems, and then Bon Voyage.

As a little preliminary taste, I video-taped myself tracking some of the percussion parts that I play on it. You’ll have to excuse the audio, as it sounds a little crude…

And moving right along, my Chester French remix really took the old intynet by storm! Even managed to top the Hypemachine Twitter charts for a few days (screenshot). And picked up some nice writeups, too – check it:

Arjan Writes
The Coolest Out “Will have you dancing all throughout your house – just make sure no one sees you”
Disco Demons
Dumb Bass
Atari Cool Kids
Sheena Beaston “I love everything Alan Wilkis touches… Delivers a post-Xmas punch to the gut!”
Too Many Sebastians
Headphone Whiplash “I love Wilkis’ remixes because they seem to encompass influences from the 80’s, 90’s as well as some of the best electro from this soon to end decade… The best part about Alan’s mixes is that he jam-packs them full of sound without ever over-doing it.”
Dope 411
Kapeep City
Boom Boom Chik
Together in Digital Dreams “Wilkis spins this heavy piano-pop song into a new years eve friendly dance-off frenzy using ingredients like fresh violin, tasty synth and electric drums. Wilkis is growing a pretty large following and he deserves every bit of it.”
The Press Play Show
Super Official!
True To Sound “The drum machine and energetic synths work really well together, as does the guitar and the other sound effects which have been added… He has a lot of talent and his beats have a great sound to them.”
Revenge of Rob Gordon “My dude Alan Wilkis never disappoints… Takes it to another level.”
Danger Danger
Nibootoo
Blastercase “Wilkis consistently comes up with some of my favorite remixes and this one is no exception.”
Indietronix Radio
JayeL Audio “Alan Wilkis continues to be one the main producers I check for when I comes to remixes. Here he puts his signature funk on one of my favorite CF tracks… Wilkis’ party ready, disco-fied remix only furthers that trend.”
Illababy “Crazy dope… Filthy”
