Working on remixes gives producers a chance to showcase their talent in a really fun way. It's not easy taking someone else's work and transforming it into something new—especially when you know you have a perfectionist waiting on the other side. Of course, it's challenging to find originality and freshness when working off someone else's sound. But I think you've just got to do what you think sounds good. Don't get too caught up in what others think.My work ethic revolves around working closely with other producers and artists. That can happen through collaborations, working in the studio with up-and-coming producers, or just trying new things out for fun with other producers. All of this allows me to engage in a dialogue with them. I think when you put two or more minds together, you can come up with something really unique. That's why I spend a lot of time engaging with the artists I am helping out.For my "Feet on the Ground" remixes, I wanted to have an eclectic package that would really explore all the possibilities of the song, and could be played across many different genres—including deep house, trap, hip-hop, electro house, and progressive house. Here's the rundown on the five remixes that made the cut.Obviously, I think "Feet on the Ground" is a song that deserves a lot of time, love and attention. I just love Anouk's vocals so much. But more than anything, I wanted the remixers to transform the track and really push its boundaries.
