Madonna's DJ.Miami-based out DJ Tracy Young is about as hot as you can get this summer. Hand-picked by Madonna to spin at the official Confessions Tour after-party, Tracy was also called on to remix re·mix tr.v. re·mixed, re·mix·ing, re·mix·es To recombine (audio tracks or channels from a recording) to produce a new or modified audio recording: Paris Hilton's single "Stars Are Blind." Taking a break from all the current action, the affable af·fa·ble adj. 1. Easy and pleasant to speak to; approachable. 2. Gentle and gracious: an affable smile. Tracy shared some confessions of her own. What did you think when you were approached to do a remix for one of Paris Hilton's songs? This always comes out wrong, but I was really surprised by how great the album is. I remember when Jennifer Lopez made this transition, I was like, Oh, please, but look at her now. How did Paris's public persona persona /per·so·na/ (per-so´nah) [L.] in jungian psychology, the personality mask or facade presented by a person to the outside world, as opposed to the anima, the inner being. per·so·na n. influence your remix? Originally I had done a really big-room anthem anthem [ultimately from antiphon], short nonliturgical choral composition used in Protestant services, usually accompanied and having an English text. The term is used in a broader sense for "national anthems" and for the Latin motets still used occasionally in track, but it didn't work with Paris's style, so I did another version. I made it happy, summery, piano-y, and jazzy jazz·y adj. jazz·i·er, jazz·i·est 1. Resembling jazz in form or nature; rhythmical. 2.

She has never told me what to play in any format in any party I've done for her. But she likes upbeat music, good vocals. She likes Goldfrapp; she likes an Ibiza sound. Any plans to remix anything from Confessions? There are several tracks I want to work on. I love "Jump" and "Push." I love the album; it's a remix heaven. But no remixes are scheduled? Unfortunately, no. Nothing has been discussed. |
