Hmmm… what can I say? There is a lots of mixed feelings about the video but I’m not suprized. It was expected.
Check out this video to find out more about the story behind the song.
For now I just want to thank you all for your comments and stay tuned for more!
Man these past 2 months have been great for me, no question about it. Once we released the “Ain´t no mountain” we got a call from our boy Nick Collings from New Zealand´s UP FM and they done a Live Radio Interview with me, check it out below.
The Song got to an awesome 5th place on the Hype Machine which is a great personal achievment with over 700 people around the world going out of their time to heart it, Thanks so much. The video is on about 5K views and has been featured on several big music blogs which i am also greatly pleased about it..All in all it has been a great campaign with this release..Stay Tuned because i got something new coming your way very VERY soon.
Oh yh btw I have started tweeting so those of you who are familiar with it follow me http://twitter.com/MIKEY_MIC
Here it is finally..The original song I love, I actually am a big fan of Motown music so I decided with this one to modernize slightly and put my own touch and interpretation on it. The remix is slightly more mainstream then the two i done before which you could probably hear. Big thanks to my Co-Producer MilJon (Jon Skoog) who came up with the idea and had a big part to play in making the song..The idea of the video was basically to show a young boy who instead of going to school roams the streets of Stockholm in the most random fashion ever!
Special thanks to the Director – Farouk Dawod, Editor – Robin Gustafsson (Say It With Burgundy) & Victor Sellstedt (Charlie) , Anisa Abbas (Aktiv Ungdom), Chris Long,Lyanna Olsson, Fred Thustrup & finally Discobelle.net who are one of our personal favorite blogs who decided to post up the video first exclusively!
Here is a early Christmas presents for all of you guys..
This video and song had to be put back as it did not fit in our schedule for the next 6 months however I really do love the video (props to Robin – Say It With Burgundy) and i love the song too so I really didn’t want it to go to waste! The video is basically a effort to relight everyone’s memory with things that we remember clearly from the past! Hope You Liked It..
At the moment we are planning the release of my next remix which you should hear within a few days, Its a remix of Pharoahe Monch’es old school hip hop song Simon Says!
Stay tuned as I will let you know within a few days where you can listen and read the story behind it, till then Be Great!
All I feel like saying right now is WOW, its been a crazy few days but they have been inspiring! The idea behind doing this remix was simple, I love the song and the timing to do a remix for it couldn’t be better because its the next single Jay-Z is going to release! So from a Musical point of view it seemed right to do it , once again I love the original song but i wanted to make the remix completely different and unique so thats exactly what I tried to do!
We publicized it on Friday and within minutesDeath Electro got a hold of it and posted it up on their very cool blog furthermore a few hours later well known Australian movement Trashbagskids posted it up on theirs!
It entered the biggest Mp3 music aggregator in the world which is Hype Machine and at the time of writing this we are ranked 20 in the overall popular rankings And then came the big one..we got informed by a source that the song was put up on one of the largest Music Magazines online website..Yes Yes Y’allRollingStone.com! All of us in the team were shocked yet extremely pleased..it is still early days so who knows where else it will lead us but all i can say right now is that it feels beautiful to plan something for months (feels like years) and the process runs smoothly when its showtime! I want to thank everyone for the support and lets keep it moving up up and over…
