Hi there, a happy and healthy NEW YEAR 2009 !

Starting the year with:

Black Pearl - Don't Turn Away (RR Beats)

Sought after Freestyle record from Miami (1987), quite
expensive, last went for @ 150 $ on auction. I liked some
soundbits only, so I made this Bonus Beat Edit, I took the
freedom to make it @ 5 BPM slower then the song.
My favorite part the one with the sine weaved in
(sounds really cool). Otherwise conventional/oldschool
yeah, but yet classic ;-)

Thanks to Carlos "After Dark" Berrios for inspiration, hey
there's even a part that reminds to his Corina - "Out Of
Control" Dub. That's wanted, so take it as a little tribute
to him. Here is the original Black Pearl song:

P.S.: Dedicated to my good friend Thomas who died
recently out of nowhere, I still can't believe it.
Regarding that watch out for a more dedicated
post soon, along with some tribute-edits from me.
He was a huge fan of edits/editors since the earliest
days, he even made some. I will include one of his
with that post then also, so stay tuned.









Rest in peace, Thomas !

Latin Rascals - Paco Bell X-Mas Canon
(Edits & Add. Prod. by Rascal Revenge)

I made this back in Dec. 2005, here it is re-encoded, in highest
VBR mp3-quality. In addition to the original track I weaved in
vocals by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra ("Christmas Canon").
Those vocals I timestretched (i.e. they appear now 30 BPM faster).
Enjoy ! Merry Christmas to all visitors of my blog.

Lilly Ak & Youth - Take Me Now (Special 'RR' Edit 2007)

Presenting today:

Lilly Ak & Youth - Take Me Now (Special 'RR' Edit 2007)
+ Short Bonus

I had this lying around for a long time, took almost 2 1/2 years
from my first "test-edit" until it´s release (October 2007).
To the track: Let´s say it´s kinda strange, a record you think
running at wrong RPM, it´s just so obvious slow. I made it 18 BPM
(!!!) faster, thus giving it a more old-school hip hop vibe, plus
all my oldschool cut and paste edits. Some part of the audio I used
for my piece sounds a lil´ confusing, that´s when a human drummer
playing hihats to a drummachine can´t keep track for some bars, so
it comes not from me making it that fast or so ;-)

Last month I made a short Bonus-Edit of it, just jumping in
after the vocal parts of the regular one, with a reverb effect
applied to the start. Both versions in one zip-file:

ISIS - Let Me Hold You (RR's Corona Edits)

As it was requested I re-encoded this Editmix today:

ISIS - Let Me Hold You (RR's Corona Edits)

Not so well known Todd Terry production, I bought 1987.
I made this Editmix originally for the Freestyle File Edit-Show Pt. II
(DJ Paradise) August 7, 2004. Now here's the HQ VBR version,
I took the chance to eliminate all prominent clicks, also cuttet
15 sec. from the end, the delay was just running out too long ;-)
Shouts to Todd Terry and DJ Paradise.
