The Hitmaker is revitalizing dance music with other mind-boggling remixes of unlikely-yet-perfect dancefloor anthems by Journey, The Who, Styx, Survivor, REO Speedwagon, and others; recontextualizing songs that have never been considered to be remotely danceable.
Remixing epic rock hooks for the modern world; revitalizing dance music with mind-boggling remixes of unlikely-yet-perfect dancefloor anthems by Journey, The Who, Styx, Survivor, REO Speedwagon, and others. The Hitmaker is putting his unique stamp on remix culture--these are not just “club mixes,” they are musical expansions of the original songs.
The new release from The Hitmaker is "Don't Stop Believin'," featuring Deen Castronovo of Journey on lead vocal. Profits from the song will go to the Chicago White Sox charities.
The Hitmaker tracks are already out in bootleg form and are being played at clubs around the USA; the revered Eddy Temple-Morris has also been playing tracks at XFM Radio in London. The Hitmaker has performed live with superstar DJs such as Rjd2, and has also remix work for other artists, including a track on the recently released Welcome to Hollywood (Atenzia) by Glen Burtnik (Marshall Crenshaw, Styx, Cyndi Lauper).
In his own words:
“Some of these songs have wonderful melodies and really energetic cadences, but the original recordings are rather plodding or out-of-date. My work brings them to light in a new context, where people can enjoy their magic without the stigma of, ‘You’re listening to Journey?!!’ It exposes a new side to these songs that’s been neglected until now. It also gives me a chance to celebrate and revive some of the music that I grew up listening to on the radio.”
