REMIX: Delta Spirit - California (Heavy Accents Remix)

Here's my second Heavy Accents remix! It's of Delta Spirit, an indie rock band from San Diego, CA, and their song "California" (how fitting) off of their self-titled 2012 album. The stems were provided for a Lollapalooza remix contest, but I figured I liked the song enough (I heard it played on KCRW many times and the lyrics always stuck in my head) that I'd steal the stems and put together this bootleg remix just for fun.

The Original:


Instead of going for a more traditional dance pace, I kept the track at its original tempo and kept the vocals and most of the guitar work in place (with a few tweaks). Below are links to stream and download the remix. Cheers!

Until 2012, cheers!

REMIX: Twin Sister - All Around and Away We Go

Here's my first remix ever under the Heavy Accents name. I've been trying to find the right production tools to work with (and the right sound; I'm still experimenting but you have to start somewhere right?), but all I know is that I fell in love with the original Twin Sister track the first time I heard it.

I grabbed the "All Around and Away We Go" stems instantly once I realized that the band was freely distributing them. I sat down the vocal stem one night, and so began this remix that I couldn't put down for the next few days.
