HOUSE REMIX THREAD

Hi friends - in the 90s I was a keyboardist & producer on numerous house tracks and remixes.

I wanted to share a few favorites I worked on.

First, here& #39;s a Diana Ross remix with Frankie Knuckles.

(Rest in bliss, Frankie) https://youtu.be/PtTY82Kmm_8 ">https://youtu.be/PtTY82Kmm...

One of my dearest friends is DJ/producer Danny Tenaglia. He and I worked on hundreds of tracks together, including this one, where I played a Yamaha grand piano solo over his beats. https://youtu.be/gwFpcXuuBqg ">https://youtu.be/gwFpcXuuB...

Masters at Work asked me to re-imagine a Bob James solo for their amazing Nuyorican Soul album.

So I transcribed and learned James& #39;s solo then replayed it with a few twists. https://youtu.be/ZMYsbL2YA-E ">https://youtu.be/ZMYsbL2YA...

David Morales and I had fun remixing Bjork.

(One of the credits I& #39;m proudest of) https://youtu.be/diiI6m5cTlU ">https://youtu.be/diiI6m5cT...

Fun story on this track:

I wrote it with @daphnerubinvega, and I remember Daphne telling me one day she& #39;d landed a role in a small musical. She was excited about it and I told her it sounded interesting.

The show was Rent. https://youtu.be/7Zx_MKx_xa4 ">https://youtu.be/7Zx_MKx_x...

Perhaps the absolute highlight of my music career (and life) is engineering and playing keys on The Poem with Bobby Konders. It went on to become a deep house classic, played at underground NYC parties during house music& #39;s heyday. https://youtu.be/EJGZ_YG7U50 ">https://youtu.be/EJGZ_YG7U...

I worked with David Morales on this @MariahCarey remix.

Nice percussion by Bashiri Johnson. https://youtu.be/prRbYNEw2bY ">https://youtu.be/prRbYNEw2...

One of my favorite jams with Morales: Black Sheep - Strobelite Honey

David called me into the studio around 2am. I was groggy at first but quickly got into the flow.

Enjoyed playing that keyboard riff... https://youtu.be/SfuTp06Prd4 ">https://youtu.be/SfuTp06Pr...

Danny Tenaglia did this mix. I added some keys.

A house classic from Liberty City. https://youtu.be/8v83jKF_rNw ">https://youtu.be/8v83jKF_r...

A deep soulful song from Richard Rogers: Can& #39;t Stop Loving You.

This was mixed by Frankie Knuckles and I played a simple house piano riff. My solo starts around 3:10. https://youtu.be/9RU9OnjBtOA ">https://youtu.be/9RU9OnjBt...

I got my start as the in-house engineer/keyboardist at a pioneering NYC dance label called Nu Groove. Great training at the inception of the house & electronic scene.

Here& #39;s one of the first tracks I produced (solo at :38). https://youtu.be/53-s8CR_ptA ">https://youtu.be/53-s8CR_p...

Here& #39;s me laying down some house keys under Miles Davis.

A peak moment of my life. https://youtu.be/NH0wdFijUrU ">https://youtu.be/NH0wdFijU...
