None of the albums by Olivia Newton John had been re-issued or remastered till date. who could be better equiped to get on the job of producing the re-releases of her music leggacy than mr Vincent Vero himself?
You can believe my joy when Vinny asked me to help out with the promotional side of this first of, hopefully, many releases to come. Fingers crossed her fans will not slay me for twiddling with the "Physical" tracks.
Released: January 2022
Brand new official megamix of all ten tracks of "Physical". Produced, mixed and edited in collaberation with Vinny Vero.
(So Hip It Hurts and Oblivion Entertainment).
To help promote both the cd and lp release I created the mock-ups using the original artwork of both deluxe editions.
My fascination for remixes started in the mid-eighties when I discovered the wonders of the 12” single. Vinyl was at its peak and the record labels used this extension of the regular single with mind blowing creativity. Of course I became a collector, often not even recognizing the original album version (or mistaking them for a new remix) of a hit single because I only knew the extended 12” version or the remix.
I started remixing my favorite tracks with a cassette player and a turntable when I was 15. It didn’t sound all that good but I discovered structure and tension and have been hooked ever since. Now, decades later I can’t listen to a song without hearing the different elements hidden within the merged and mastered whole. My mind begins to dissect the layers and I imagine what they would add up to in a longer, bolder and more streched version.
My style can best be described as NeoClassic. I map classic 12” remix structures onto new or re-issue material. My remixes will always pay tribute to the original version of a track. I want my alternative longer remix to have everything that defines the album or 7” version but I want it longer, larger and more intense. It will enable the listener to discover hidden elements that have always been there but which only surface in the Extended Version.
Where my story will end, I don’t know. I recently had the luck to stumble on long time music mastermind
Vinny Vero that recognizes my passion and trusts me to treat his production material with love & dedication. I will be able to share more information about our collaborations soon.
