rjd2 – the shining path (alan wilkis remix)
Well kids, our friend Alan Wilkis has done it yet again. Some of his remixes that I’ve enjoyed in the past have kept the main rhythm of the song intact, but just added various elements of awesome throughout to create something that usually sounds much more colorful. But that is not the case this time, as he’s taken a track from DJ extraordinaire RJD2 and completely transformed it.
While Alan didn’t want to get too “technical/music-dorky”, I want nothing more. Taking a song from 6/8 to 4/4 is no small task. And the original song, “The Shining Path” from the album “The Colossus” is basically straight up motown and at points sounds like I’m holding hands with my best gal going up to the corner shop for a couple of sodapops and a strawberry malt, whereas the 4/4 remix version is straight up hip hop. Same melodies, same exact vocals, not retimed at all. And fear not, despite it’s hip-hop vibe, it’s still classic Wilkis, Nintendo and allAlan, this may be may favorite yet from you.
***WARNING: TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE VISION OF MR.WILKIS, PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL FIRST HERE.
