I decided to use all analogue sounds on the remix for Hydroplane. The song sounded like a dream to me, so my idea was to reset the scene, have Renzo run through a forest and dive off a cliff into a dark wavy ocean. I chopped up the vocals using a 505 sampler and added some subtle warble effect which helps separate the vox from the track but only in a subconscious bubble bath sort of way. I sampled some floaty synth sounds and some fuzzy midrange bass hits from a Juno-6 and constructed the beat on an MPC2000XL. Finally, I added a bassline on the Mini-Moog Voyager and laid the vocals back over by hand, dropped in a quick keyboard loop from the original right before the second verse for dynamics.
