Remixing classic tracks is a dicey venture: Change it too much and listeners object that it is a remix in name only, that the essential elements have been jettisoned in favor of the artist’s own ideas; change too little and listeners become nostalgic for the original, concluding wistfully that the days of big tracks are over.
Myon & Shane 54’s remix of BBE’s classic Seven Days and One Week balances these considerations, adding a tight, penetrating filtered arpeggio sequence, sidechained pads, and a liberal dose of swing to the proceedings. Nothing revolutionary here, just a solid remix of a huge track.
