FLASHBACK - WAAAAY BACK: Some of my early works (1997 - 2000)

These were made at a time when mashups and home-made remixes were a rare thing, especially in Greece. When I hear them I can't believe they are more than 10 years old, I remember making them like it was last year. I'm very proud of them, even though most are full of tonal-musical and production-mastering errors. They are quite simple, but each of them took hours of really hard work because the software that was available at the time couldn't even match up to the worst freeware sequencer/sampler software of today. I didn't make youtube videos for these, so here are the download links:

Sweet Drop - Human Nature (Saradis Re Edit - Jan 1997)
The original was a big club hit in Greece, but I thought the breakdown was long and boring... I had to do something about it :-)

Saradis - It's A Dream (Attack Mix - Sep 1997)
Wow! There was a time when Sweet Dreams had not been remixed and covered a trillion times! The beats are from Progressive Attack by Brooklyn Bounce (!) and there's also a sample from the classic Age Of Love tune. Of all my early works, this one I love the most.

Saradis - Liquid Is Liquid (Armix - Dec 1997)
I had to have a go at the classic Liquid theme, it still sounds magic even today...

Sex Alarm - Siren (Saradis Hablando Mashup - 1997)
90s sexy-house at it's best (or worst?)! I combined the original with samples from the classic Ramirez track and the early 90s LaTour song, People Are Still Having Sex

Saradis - The Bomb Phenomena (Oct 1997)
The Van Helden house bomb with samples from The Bomb by the Bucketheads

Xpact - Xcess (Saradis Lights, Heat, Strobe Mix - 1998)
A simple rework of a big 1997 club hit with an acapella on top (I can't even remember where I found those vocals, if anybody recognizes them, let me know)

Saradis - Devotion (Mix 1 - 1998)
Stadium-house :-) made with a messed up organ loop from Urban Soul's Show Me with the intro from Devotion by Nomad, plus the intro from Live Is Life by Opus (!) and some other loops on top. It even has a low-bpm breakdown! I have to remake this one...

The Tamperer - Feel It (Saradis One More Mix - Jul 1998)
Combining elements of the two mixes on the cd single, along with some filtering and a 2Unlimited (!!!) sample

Matthew Fisher - Why'd I Have To Fall In Love (Saradis Mix - 1998)
When I made this, the original was getting heavy airplay in some stations, and I had to add some beats on top!

Saradis - Comme La Luna (Maracaibo) (Carnival Mix - Jan 1998)
Kiss - I Was Made For Loving You (Saradis Jingo Mix - Feb 1998)
I got my hands on those two just in time for that year's carnival...

Saradis - Miss You All The Time (1999)
I did this when disco house was all the rage, it's somehow boring after a while. Samples Miss You by the great Rolling Stones (oh, it also has a bit from Start Me Up, it was on the same cd)

Saradis - My First Love (Apr 2000)
Another disco-house effort, sampling You'll Never Know by Hi-Gloss
