Music Remix

It all started one lazy afternoon during Covid time, when I stumbled upon an old cassette tape buried deep in a forgotten drawer. It was a collection of songs and dialogues from a retro Bollywood movie that I used to hear as a kid. Nostalgia hit me hard, and an idea sparked—what if I could remix these classics and give them a fresh twist? I dusted off my beat machine, fired up CrossDJ software, and started experimenting with the tracks.

Soon, what began as a fun experiment turned into an obsession. I mixed in dialogues from retro Bollywood movies, layered beats, and played around in FL Studio until I created something new—a remix that blended the past with the present. Hearing those old voices with modern rhythms brought the songs to life in a whole new way, and that’s how my journey into remixing music began.

While experimenting on reixing the songs, I learned about the most diffcult side of remixs - the slow or sentimental songs. Working on remixes of slow songs is like trying to sculpt mist. Unlike fast-paced tracks, where the energy of the beat can carry the remix, slow songs demand a delicate touch. I found myself spending hours fine-tuning every layer—whether it was blending the old vocals seamlessly with a new beat or making sure that the mood of the original song wasn’t lost in the process. It’s a challenge to keep the essence of the song intact while adding a fresh vibe to it. Slowing things down forces you to focus on the details, and every small change can dramatically shift the entire feel of the remix. But when it works, it’s magic—hearing those timeless melodies float effortlessly over modern rhythms is worth every bit of effort.
