So, it’s spring 2001 and I’m 19. I decided to remix Maxim’s song Carmen Queasy which was released one year ago (2000). The problem was that I wanted to use the vocal but I had no idea where I could find the acapella. Then I realized that I can get the vocal just by downmixing the original and the instrumental version of the song. I was sitting in #prodigy ircnet chat when Neko gave me an advise to use Napster (it was free p2p network these days) to download the instrumental version, so I did. Of course having of mp3 versions is not enough to get a proper vocal in the case, but I didn’t give a damn about quality and made the remix with things i had. The things I had were Penitum 3 - 500Mhz, FastTracker 2.09 and Generator (Reaktor). Also I’ve re-used some samples from Poison and Crystal Method for drums. It was my fist remix that reached my hardware and software top of the time.
