i have a question about the hi hat part... i can't seem to figure it out, as you bring in the different parts at about 0:30 ... the hi hat is coming in constant 8th notes, then you add in another hi hat which gives it a really cool live drummer feel... and moves it along way better... how did you do that? thanks. i love this remix.

@ellevatordisco basically, I took the original drum part which only has a 8th note high hat. I looped that throughout.. I then added my own 16th note high hat (and reinforced beat) under it. It has a heavy swing, which is what makes this song groove well. Swing is often overlooked.

Dude i really appreciate this video, I listen to the remix so many times because i'm just amazed how amazing it is. I curious how to do the breakdown filtered parts though :/

[andreanjos]

@Tsuekasa No prob! I'm glad you dig them. I either use Auto-Filter in Ableton, or run it through an analog synth. Depends..

great work. I'm curious about what samples you used other than Daft's "Around the World". What's the piano sample from?

[andreanjos]

@mosaic34 Thanks! I didn't sample daft punk. The bassline is somewhat in the same style.. but I played it all. The piano is from the original track.
