Editing The Others Volume 1 - A Collection of Remixes by Kaiser Soze (FULL ALBUM - FREE DOWNLOAD)

 

 

10 years after the last volume of my 'Editing The Mode' series, here comes the first - and hopefully not the last - volume of 'Editing The Others'. In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, the Editing The Mode series is a collection of Depeche Mode remixes I made between 2005 and 2012 while I was the webmaster of dmremix.be - some of these were obviously not too bad - my remix of Black Celebration for example has more than half a million views on youtube so people seem to like it :)

 

Even if I'm now more interested in making videos, I still like to edit/extend the tracks I like and that's what this new series is all about. It's just a collection of edits/remixes I made for other artists I like, but NOT Depeche Mode :)

 

The first volume includes 10 mixes from various artists such as Moby, The Human League, And One, Ruined Conflict and Frozen Plasma, amongst others. If you want to hear them, just go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jtVSmEDZX0&list=PLw_0HlCBbllNOErJE1OpP35trUnG5ZpgK

 

 

And if you want to download the tracks, you can grab the FULL ALBUM for FREE right here: https://mega.nz/folder/KDInwCLT#HrQgj1MYzId-SIBCCyg6kg

(The 12 volumes from the Editing The Mode series are also available for download there if you don't have them yet, as well as My Ultimate Depeche Mode megamix)

 

Again, those aren't official mixes, just basic edit/extended versions, so remember to support the artists and BUY the original versions if you like them. Thank you and enjoy :)

2 Unlimited - No Limit (Extended Rap)

 

Released 18 January 1993, 'No Limit' is the 5th single recorded by 2 Unlimited, the popular eurodance duo founded by Belgian producers Jean-Paul De Coster and Phil Wilde. Taken from their second album of the same name, the song is one of their most commercially successful singles, especially in Europe, reaching the number-one spot in at least 13 countries and the top 10 in several others.

Beyond Border - Darkest Night (Dominatrix Remix)

 

After releasing one of the best album in 2021, Beyond Border, the synthpop/synthwave duo from Hildesheim, Germany, has just released the follow-up, 'Awake The Clubs', today 29 April 2022. The album includes 16 remixes and one new cover, Narcotic (the original was from Liquido, the German alt rock band). It was difficult to pick one track from the album, because there are several great remixes by Eisfabrik, N-Frequency or Frozen Plasma just to name a few, but my fav' is the Dominatrix remix of Darkest Night. The original song was already great, but this remix just brings it to another level. A masterpiece :)

Technomancer - Blade Runner

 

 

Taken from 'Path Of Destruction EP' released 15 November 2013, here's a great cover of Blade Runner, the instrumental masterpiece from Vangelis. This version by Technomancer, the synthpop/EBM project by Alexandria J. Digre aka Alyxx, stays close to the original and is highly recommended if you've never heard it before :)

Third Realm - Until The End Of Time (Extended Version)

 

Taken from the album 'Morbid Attitude' released 7 May 2021, 'Until The End Of Time' is a cool synthpop track from Third Realm, the eclectic project founded in 2000 by Nathan Reiner from Buffalo, New York. The album version was too short in my opinion, so I've extended a litlle bit...enjoy and make sure to watch the video until the end...of time :)

 

Freddie Mercury - Living On My Own (No More Brothers Extended Mix)

 

 

Originally included on his first solo album, Mr. Bad Guy, "Living on My Own" is a song by Farrokh Bulsara, aka Freddie Mercury, the English singer born in Stone Town, Zanzibar. It was released as a single in September 1985 in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at number 50.

Propaganda - Duel (Bitter-Sweet)

 

Released exactly 37 years ago in the United Kingdom (22 April 1985), Duel is the second single by the German synthpop group Propaganda. Both the single and their first album, A Secret Wish, had been delayed as a result of the unexpectedly huge success of ZTT's most famous signing, Frankie Goes to Hollywood (the ZTT label was still in its infancy so all its limited resources were spent on promoting and marketing FGTH), but the track still managed to reach number 21 in the UK chart and was a Top 10 hit in both Italy & Netherlands.

Technoir - Dying Star (Extended Version)

 

Taken from the album 'Deliberately Fragile', released 19 January 2007, 'Dying Star' is a nice synthpop tune from Technoir, the main project of the former Plastic Noise Experience live keyboardist, Steffan Gehring, and featuring Julia Beyer on vocals between 2000 and 2009.

The Art Of Noise - Moments In Love (Beaten)

 

When I need to relax, one of the first track that comes to mind is always 'Moments In Love' from The Art Of Noise, the English avant-garde synthpop group formed in early 1983 by engineer/producer Gary Langan and programmer J. J. Jeczalik, along with keyboardist/arranger Anne Dudley, producer Trevor Horn, and music journalist Paul Morley.

The version here is my own extended version of the St. James Club Mix, enjoy :)

BlakLight - The Fallen (J:dead Remix)

Released only a couple days ago (15 April 2022), 'Out Of The Void - The Remixes' is a really great album by BlakLight, the Los Angeles based duo formed by Brian Belknap (Mind Machine) & Adam Collier. The album includes remixes from people such as Rob Dust, Eisfabrik, Solar Fake, Assemblage 23 and Black Light Odyssey just to name a few...but my fav' is certainly the remix of 'The Fallen' by J:dead. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do :)

Animotion - Obsession (12" Remix)

 

Originally written and recorded as a duet by Holly Knight and Michael Des Barres in 1983 (Des Barres was recovering from a heroin addiction, so "Obsession" was a familiar word to him but he wanted to write about something that would appeal to a much wider audience, like love...or sex), the song was covered in 1984 by the Los Angeles-based synthpop band Animotion for their self-titled debut album. This version became a success in several countries and remains their biggest hit.

Solitary Experiments - Every Now And Then (Love + Revenge Extended Rework)

A lot of people were waiting for this one and as far as I'm concerned I'm not disappointed at all by Every Now And Then, the new single from the Berlin Futurepop pioneers Solitary Experiments. In fact, I like it so much that I've decided to take one of the remix from the EP - the Love + Revenge rework - and to extend it a little bit. Enjoy and I hope you'll like it :)

Uncreated - Flaws And Mistakes

 

Taken from the album 'Symbiosis', released 12 November 2021, 'Flaws And Mistakes' is a very atmospheric track from Uncreated, the solo project driven by Patrik Hansson, also member of the Swedish electronic duo Vanguard. A great track from a great Electro-Pop album driven by retro sound treatments and danceable beats.

Taken from their second studio album, Serenity, released 3 June 1993 "Mr. Vain" is one of the biggest hit from the German eurodance group Culture Beat. The song achieved huge success worldwide, reaching number-one in at least 12 countries, including Belgium, Germany, Netherlands and UK.
