Remix Galaxy Remix Galaxy
Boldly go from zero to remix hero in minutes

Learning to remix just got a whole lot easier, thanks to Remix Galaxy, a new online community that enables anyone to create, mix and share music online – regardless of experience and without the necessity of a DAW (digital audio workstation).  
The brainchild of former corporate lawyer/commodities trader Kyle Reed, Remix Galaxy was born of Reed's frustration with the time-consuming and costly pursuit of the music and gear needed to fuel his passion for production.
"When I started remixing, there was nothing easy or cheap about it," Reed recalls of his days as a budding DJ and synthesizer collector. "I always had a hard time finding remixable music. That's what Galaxy is all about – making remixing and production accessible to everyone."

High-quality audio files with perfect separation

Unique in concept and execution, Remix Galaxy offers users a sweeping collection of fully licensed multi-track WAV files, created from the original master recordings that allow even the novice to quickly get about the business of remixing.
Multi-tracks are available in two packages: The Basic Pack, which includes two files, vocals and instrumental, and The Expanded Pack, which offers anywhere from five to eight stems (individual tracks), that cover the vocals, drums, bass, and other major elements of each song.

"Users can download either pack for use in other software programs or simply mix the stems online via our online mixing application," Reed explains. 

mixStudio – super fast, super easy

Remix Galaxy will have you remixing in no time, even if you don't have experience with advanced platforms like ACID or Pro Tools.

 "We provide free tools that lets users quickly and easily start remixing the songs they buy, whether it's making simple changes to an MP3 or doing an extensive remix with multi-track files," says Reed.

Remix Galaxy's mixStudio application is fast, especially for a browser-based product.
"All of the processing is done on the client side, so users only wait for the initial loading of the sound files," Reed continues. "The rest of mixStudio works in real-time; but as with most advanced software these days, the faster your CPU and the more RAM you have, the better."

Free Samples & Effects

MixStudio also offers a library of drum loops, sound effects and other audio clips. In addition, you can easily upload you own loops and clips, a nice feature that makes for endless mixing possibilities. 

MixStudio also throws in a fistful of audio effects similar to a variety of well-known plug-ins used in costly pro applications, such as a stereo delay, a flanger/chorus module, stereo phasing, distortion, a bit crusher, a ring modulator and more.

Community Forums

"We've designed our site to give non-professionals, pro DJs and musicians alike a place to interact and engage," Reed says. "It starts with a user's profile, which includes all of the remixes or original songs that the user has created. All users can listen to these songs, rate them, review them, and add them to their playlists. So the community is a great avenue to get feedback on your work."

Users can also contact other members and connect through the site's internal messaging system, as well as take advantage of the expert help available on the Remix Galaxy Forum. Moderated by Reed himself, the RG forum covers a variety of topics; help for everything from DJing to remixing to hardware to software is just a post away.

Artist Di$tribution

 Not only does Remix Galaxy give you access to a catalog of music but if you have your own song, Galaxy allow you to become a seller; and, as Reed sums it up, "monetize your passion."

Our take…

With prices for basic stem packs starting for less than the price of a Big Mac and expanded packs topping out at $6.99, it's easy to see the big bang Remix Galaxy provides.  Throw in the expert guidance you'll receive, the great remixes you'll make and share, and the ability to shop your music to every corner of the Internet and we think Remix Galaxy offers a stellar deal.

DISCLAIMER: Stem packs are licensed, like our product, for personal use and professional play. The reselling of remixes is prohibited by law.

Artists to Watch…
Dependable DJ Dan always delivers -- A look at the A-list's go-to remixer
Dj Dan

It should come as no big d'oh that beat-future acts like New Order, Depeche Mode, Yoko Ono, A Tribe Called Quest and Groove Armada have long reached out to DJ Dan to re-interpret their music, given his seminal role in the development of rhythmic West Coast House...

What may surprise you is that Dan (aka Daniel Wherrett), after some decades of cementing his reputation as a premier performer and remixer, is only now hitting the mainstream as the go-to remixer for Lady Ga-Ga, P Diddy, Black Eyed Peas, Janet Jackson and other A-list artists.

Born and raised on the West Coast, Dan molded himself after Chicago house luminaries DJ Pierre, Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy, honing his skills at clubs in Seattle, LA, and San Francisco where his flair for fused rhythms and innovative performance signaled the beginning of the West Coast's fabled breakbeat scene.

This summer has DJ Dan set to drop his very first artist album, DJ Dan Presents Future Retro, a project designed to celebrate his 20th year at the forefront of funky house. Offering a musical journey that spans the past, present and future of electronic music, Dan has set himself to the task of re-souling the works of past greats such as Mr. Fingers, Phuture, Frankie Knuckles and Midnight Star, with a little help from friends such as fellow Seattleite and American Idol runner-up Blake Lewis.

You can check out Operator, DJ Dan's futuristic take on the Midnight Starr classic by visiting http://www.myspace.com/djdanmusic or on our April issue of Dance Radio…
