Music meets parody

The opening theme of the film “Chariots of Fire” is widely known. It was written by Vangelis Papathanassiou in 1981.

A few years later, Vangelis had to go through a copyright infringement lawsuit for plagiarism of the song “City Of Violets”, composed by Stavros Logarides in 1977. When he played the theme in court, the jurors declared his innocence.

During the Olympic Games in 2012, this song was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and Rowan Atkinson alias Mr. Bean. A wonderful combination of disciplines.

Only for your love

Enjoy my work for the Splice remix contest of the Nicky Romero & Florian Picasso song “Only For Your Love”. If you like my remix, please vote until January 4, 2018 at 11:59 PM EST here:

It was a pleasure to work with the super cool vocoder vocals of the original song. I tried to change the character of the song into a fat breakbeat style, hope you like it!

This is the original song:

Happy New Year!

Have a wonderful year 2018! Looking back on an exciting year 2017, filled with love and passion. Closing 2017 with the best statement of the year by Johannes Oerding: “Ohne unser gestern, würd’ ich mich heute nicht so auf morgen freuen!”

Did you know?

Enjoy my work for the Splice remix contest of the tyDi and Christopher Tin song “Did you know”:

Beautiful Disaster

Please vote for my Morgan Page “Beautiful Disaster” remix at Splice:

I enjoyed so much working with the super beautiful voice track of Stella Rio, therefore I also tried to emphasize her voice in my remix. The “Vox-Wet-126-Bmin” track is the only track used from the original song.

Merry Christmas!

May your Christmas time be filled with love! Let the bells of peace ring and let the light of Christmas shine bright!

“Süßer die Glocken nie klingen” is a Christmas melody from 1826 which I pimped up to the year 2017. Merry Christmas!

Magic on the way

When U2 announced their new album “Songs Of Experience”, the rock song “You’re the best thing about me” immediately got popular.

Kygo even converted it into a dance song.

But there is magic on the way! Now that the full album has been released, the track “Love Is All We Have Left” is available on streaming platforms. It is pure magic! Looking forward to the music video soon.

Amazing Power

Thank you so much to everyone for your amazing support during the Spinnin’ Records Remix Contest for the KSHMR & Hardwell song “Power”. This was my submission to the contest:

When I submitted my remix, it started off at position 792 of 875 remixes but thanks to your amazing support, it finally reached position 151 out of 999 remixes!!!

It makes me very proud to have such a great support and it also makes me happy that some people like my music. This was actually me first public remix project. I’m already preparing the next remix. Even though the contest is closed, you can keep on listening to it on Soundcloud.

This is the original song of Hardwell & KSHMR.

Troy

Even as a German native speaker it’s sometimes difficult to understand lyrics: The song “Monica Bellucci” from the German rapper Renato Simunovic alias “RIN” immediately caught my attention because of the excellent beat and the very cool vocal effect, using very decent pitch correction. More than 18 million Spotify streams are already confirming the high potential of this song.

The first text line I understood clearly in the lyrics was “Nokia 8210”, which reminds of forgotten times.

The person behind the excellent beat is actually Alexis Papadimitriou alias Alexis Troy, a German producer. He is producing music for various projects, from commercials to songs for hip hop artists. This teaser for one of his songs contains great drone shots.

This is the full song “Sirens” – excellent filtered drum set and synth atmosphere!
