“Settle Down (Mr. Jotz Remix)” - Kimbra

For the past two days, instead of doing the multitude of things that I should’ve been doing, I decided to try my hand at doing a remix! This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this. I’m doing it for a contest on Indaba Music.

I figured that most people who do remixes just go for a dance mix type thing or pump up the beats and slap rap over it. I wanted to go as far away from that as possible. So, I only used Kimbra’s lead vocals and some of the backing vocals and added in a bunch of live instrument stuff (i.e. flutes, guitar, and various beat boxing).

Let me know what you think of it and if there’s anything glaringly wrong that needs to be fixed. It’s best listened to with headphones to get the full stereophonic effect.

Here’s the original, if you’d like to compare.
