This is not a new remix in any way; not even a remake. What I'm doing here is applying the experience of my 25+ remixes to beautify a remix I've done purely for experimentation and fun some months ago so to bring it up in par with the rest of my remixes.

I didn't bother to change the track around in ways that would produce a new remix. I can actually see so many possible tweaks but all I wanted to do was to improve the previous remix, not make a new one. It's actually quite easy to start a new remix now and another one tomorrow and so on; actually there are infinitive possibilities. One of these possibilities can be found at the end of this video.

This remaster is part of an attempt to revive my 3 oldest remixes: Abracadabra, Gee and Genie. These three remixes were made in a time that I was experimenting with remixing and didn't really expect this success and so many loyal subscribers. Normally I wouldn't care and just continue to make new remixes. The problem is that these three songs are some of the greatest Korean pop to date and it would be a shame to leave them at that low quality.

So in what ways exactly is this remix improved?
- Subtitles: As any of my latest remixes, this one contains subtitles to improve your feel during listening.
- Mastering: each sound is now at the right level, the right frequencies and with the right dynamics and stereo image. The combined output is also exchanged in many ways for the track to be loud and clear
- Vocals: This time totally clean vocals are were and therefore there was no need to compromise between the original background sounds and my sounds - there're none of the original sounds remaining in this remix. The magic of adding the inverted instrumental on the original.
- Bass: The previous bass was a mess jumping out of the whole track. This bass is a combination of three basses (including the one in the first remix) compressed down to the right frequencies and playing in a much smoother way.
- Kick: A different kick is used, with the right reverb setting and compression.
- Hithats: The same hithat sounds are used. The closed hit hat now plays in a different rhythm to give some rhythmic feel to the track. Of course the hithats are compressed to the right frequency range.
- Pads: The pads are kept the same so the original feel of the remix is not lost but they were given an amount of sidechaining (play a bit lower when the beat hits) and some effects were applied to smooth the sound.
Sequence: A few tweaks here and there and some minimal filtering manipulation so sounds come and go in a smoother way.
- And many other minor tweaks all around the song.

The lyrics of the song are superb and with the perfect depth and variety. It's sad we don't often see such smart lyrics. The original song is actually still played across bars and restaurants in Korea and this is not really common in the fast paced Korean entertainment industry. I think that says everything.

For me Abracadabra was the preview I got before going to Korea for the first time last summer. What I found there during the three months I've stayed (and the one more month this winter) was very much in par with this MV and style. "Abracadabra" girls would walk all around during afternoon and night times, with the characteristic leather-style high-heels in a generally very good tasted and sexy fashion. Of course that doesn't say anything about the character and it would be naive to assume this. People in Korea are very fashionable anyway.

  • np m8 i am always with you in spirit hahahha btw you  play miusic in clubs too or you make this in free time?

  • @OxelotCannaIsBack I used to DJ years ago (1997~2003) but because of my studies I had to stop to make some time.

  • Oh my god, you're going to remaster Genie and Gee too?!?! Oh lord I am sooo excited right now. Genie is my all time favorite k-pop song and your remix is still my ringtone used to wake me up in the morning! :D I am 150% looking forward to that remastering.

    Anyways, I was also a fan of your previous Abracadabra remix. This remastering really makes it sound a lot better and I'm a huge fan of that synth in the background towards the beginning. Reminds me of the synth used in the Change remix. :)

  • @MrPyromaster500 Thanx :)) Actually I've already worked a bit on Genie and it sounds millennia ahead lol I'm not sure what I will do with Gee since by mistake I've saved a remake onto the original remix file, so I don't have the original sequence :/ But I will do something anyway lol The synth in Change? hmm maybe it's the same? lol who knows!
