Daft Punk Random Access Memories “Within” Sonaris Bootleg Remix

Many have come to know me because of a rework I did, a couple of years ago, of Daft Punk’s “Around The World” which turned out to be a lot more popular than I expected. With over 100,000 plays at this point, it’s one of the biggest unofficial remixes I’ve done.

With the new Daft Punk “Random Access Memories” album out, I wanted to quickly touch on a track I particularly liked – Within – and did a quick chillout remix using the original track (since I have no stems or MIDI to work off). It’s pretty short, more like a demo or interlude than a full-fledged track.

If you are Daft Punk and are reading this… 1. Please don’t sue me and 2. If you need someone to throw some underground flavor at an official remix, I am your guy. If you are not Daft Punk and are reading this, check out Daft Punk – Within (Sonaris Overchill Remix) on my Soundcloud and enjoy.

In the meantime, I am continuously working on my next original three-track EP, Miami, which will be out sometime this Summer.

New Release: Sonaris’ Pepel EP is out on Beatport, Amazon and iTunes

Sonaris Pepel EP CoverThe big day is here! Finally, my newest EP, Pepel is out for everyone to enjoy. This one has been a while in the making, and is one I am the most of proud of, at this point. The EP has four tracks, all with their own attitude and mood, but all with a common theme — to make you feel something.

Pepel is a club-bound progressive house track which you can enjoy in your car, in your headphones or on the dancefloor. At 128 bpm, the slightly extended cut is ready to be mixed into a set. The Pryda-esque melodies and pads will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Pathfinder is a slighly lower tempo (125 bpm) house track with a deep melody, ready for your enjoyment. The bouncy bassline is sure to catch your attention! Relax and enjoy this sweet club-ready track.

Bittersweet is an ode to Royksopp or early Deadmau5 chillout/downtempo productions. Deep atmosphere and relaxing vibes, infused with emotion are sure to captivate you. Whether you’re meditating with your eyes closed or relaxing by the pool, this piece is sure to bring a calmness to your world.

Pepel (Gerald The Genius Remix) is a powerful electro house ode to the original, and is a club-ready banger. This track is ready to be mixed into a set for your dance party.

No matter how you look at it, you can’t go wrong with this release! Please grab a copy and support independent music. As always 100% of the proceeds go to improving my audio software and hardware.

Sidenote: I know not everyone is able to afford spending money on music, so if that’s you, and you find a pirated copy, grab it! I make music so it can be heard, and of course it’s great to get some support back,  to at least try to cover some costs — but I’d much rather you just enjoy the music.

New Sonaris Releases: Sabotage You // Pepel // Glowing // Just The Beginning // Free and on Beatport, iTunes and Amazon

Sabotage You Cover - Sonaris // h perkinsHere’s what I’ve been up to in the last month or so:

I’ve got a new original EP out on Beatport, called Sabotage You (with h. perkins) – an eclectic mix of breaks, progressive house and electro house. Check it out and pick up a copy, if it’s your “cup of tea”.

I’ve also got a couple of new FREE downloads. One is a deep house track called Just The Beginning and a short, fun variation on Lute of Noah from Final Fantasy III.

Last but certainly not least, my new original EP — Pepel — is coming out on Beatport, iTunes and Amazon on Wednesday, August 1st! You can preview three of the four tracks on the EP, on my Sonaris Soundcloud page. It’s a combination of two brand new original progressive house tunes, one deep chillout track and a great electro remix of Pepel by Gerald The Genius. Bittersweet is a Royksopp-like jump into deep, emotional chillout. Pepel is a Eric Prydz or Pryda-like adventure into melodic club progressive house. Finally, Pathfinder is a bouncy progressive house tune with it’s stand-alone unique vibe.

Not enough? I’m also finishing up a 2012 re-edit of axisONE’s track Sincerely (with vocals by dJessa). Basically I’ve mixed the track down again, from scratch, swapped out the bassline, replaced a few instruments and made the vocals shine like they had never before. No firm word yet on when or how this will be released, but I am excited for you to hear it, that’s for sure!

I am also working on a remix of Onisu’s track Glowing at the moment, which will be another awesome progressive house release.

Needless to say I’ve been busy, but moving full speed ahead. Having recently signed Onisu and Equal Numbers to Addictive Vibe Records I am confident in the strength of the label and the growing team.

Stay tuned for more, and as always, thank you for the support! My dreams wouldn’t be achievable without it.

Sonaris – Haestrom Conspiracy (Original Mix)

New free download techno track out! It’s taken a few weeks to finish up this techno release, bunch of time spent on working out the sounds to sound how I want. The result is a driven, militaristic tune, heavily inspired by the Geth race in the Mass Effect series. The track turned out to sound about as futuristic as I had hoped, with some robotic feel thrown in there for good measure. No actual samples or themes from Mass Effect were used for the track. I wound up either picking out or creating the sounds I wanted for this project, so it’s all-original.

Free download for the time being. Enjoy!

Aiming to have new EP/LP done this Summer.

That’s right, with my album Afterlove out early 2012, I’m already knee deep in new projects. So far, I have four brand new tracks finished for a new, yet to be named EP, and I am working on a couple more.

I am looking for remixers with skill to remix one or a couple of the tracks on the album. If interested, drop me an email with a link to your SoundCloud.
