I think Gotye’s song- Somebody That I Used To Know must have been the most remixed song on the planet this year. I thought it was nice, but then I saw that DJ Tiesto’s shit remix of it- was floating right near the top of Beatport’s charts. Seeing that no one else saw this as a travesty- I felt it my duty to jump into the remix pool and edit it according to taste.

Dear Rohail Hyatt, Coke Studio, Frequency Media and Kaavish,

I’m not out to cheat you out of anything. I just loved the song. It was a sad time. I took it into my computer, edited it a bit. So please don’t serve me this time.

Thanks,
K

FCCM Pakistan pulled the Ministry of Sound and Sander Kleinenberg into Lahore. There's a lot more footage coming, but I thought this moment dancing on stage behind him was just epic.

Some pictures I took that night: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100710299416105.2764001.3418104&type=1&l=6bde391bc7

Natasha Ejaz is an artist who recently made headlines in Pakistan for her voice on the track “Jahaan”, from the project “It Might Get Glitchy”, that is engineered and produced by Rishabh Rajan.

From the biography on the YouTube page, Rishbash is “a Music Production lecturer at ICOM, is a graduate of Berklee College of Music, with a Major in Film Scoring. He has written music for a few independent films while working in Los Angeles, many of which played in the local festival circuits. As a film composer he specializes in writing electronic, orchestral and ethnic music. He has also worked for various sound library companies as a content developer and is now developing his own sample libraries.”

I wanted to share this video where he walks us through the work done on the actual song production, all in Ableton Live. I love this program- it’s a treat watching what people can do with it every day, even if it is a bit more difficult to use than Logic, depending on how your mind is wired.

Here’s the finished song, on their Souncloud page:
