Monsieur Adi Wins Frankmusik Remix Contest

This is very, very cool.

ArjanWrites.com reader Adamo (aka producer extraordinaire Monsieur Adi) just won the Frankmusik online remix contest. Dozens of DJs and producers sent Frankmusik their remix of his excellent new single "3 Little Words" over the past few weeks. Monsieur Adi's tune up was hand-selected by Frankmusik as the winner.

The Milan-based Monsieur Adi had a very specific vision of Frankmusik's song. "I wanted to do something that was dark, dramatic and romantic a little that felt cinematic," he writes me. "Before I started the remix I was watching some different videos and movies for a completely different project. One was a video of a favorite collection of mine Tom Ford did for Gucci which was inspired by Blade Runner with the majority of soundtrack from Rob Dougan. Everything was so modern yet classical and sterile so I thought all of this would be cool to try to put in a remix."

"Generally, though, I get so inspired when I hear music from Bjork, Stuart Price, Daft Punk, Mirwais, Justice, Rob Dougan, Madonna, Vivaldi, and Rachmaninoff," he adds.

Rachmaninoff and Tom Ford! This man sure knows his classics. No wonder that his remix of "3 Little Words" has such an orchestral, spaced out feel to it. Congrats, Monsieur Adi, and we hope that your remix gets an official release. On iTunes at least. It deserves it.
