🔥 Remix Lab: Rip It, Chop It, Flip It, Drop It
Ever hear a song and immediately sense what it could be? In this interactive workshop, DJ and producer dk darkly breaks down the remix process, exploring its technical, creative, and business dimensions.
The session moves through identifying key, tempo, and groove, sourcing stems, selecting samples, and balancing new ideas with the source material. dk darkly also unpacks the logistics of releasing an unofficial remix in a copyright-mad world, drawing on his own Ableton projects to illustrate the process throughout.
Whether attendees have never attempted a remix or have been refining their craft for years, they'll leave with a practical toolkit for their next project.
