Remixing Medicine by The Imbeciles

For the second remix Chloé had a brief to use as many of the audio stems as possible, so she took the original punk ethos and warped it, C. A.R.-style!

As The Imbeciles’ punk style is not usually part of Raunet’s universe she started off by choosing a simple and familiar drum part and looping it. 2

Using that drum segment to create a new loop with a different feel, Chloé then added a small part of the original bassline and looped that too. 3

Initially Raunet took snippets of the lead vocal, pitch shifted them and then recombined them to create a completely new chorus-like piece. 4

As good as that sounded, the label didn’t approve, so Chloé removed the pitch effects and went back to a standard vocal snippet, still forming something striking and new. 5

The warped synth sounds came by way of Arturia’s SEM, part of the V-Collection that Raunet uses a lot in her productions and remixes. 6

It is then transformed by more Soundtoys effects. Chloé ended up with what she describes as a far more ‘out there’ track, inspired by the punk ethos of the original.
