This simple track has all the right elements in place. Good lyrics,great singing and a very simple groove. I just added few elements and bumped the feel to a rather groovy kind. The kind of stuff that say a Rishi Rich project or any of the Indo-Brit producers make, very prominent baselines combined with a nice juicy disco kick beats.
I didn’t take it to the extreme in that direction and stayed closer home to the original. I hope you like this mix!
Original track from the movie : Rhythm (Tamil). Original awesome music by AR Rahman.

The theme song of the World Classical Tamil Conference, written by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi and set to music by maestro A. R. Rahman.The song captures the essential aspects of various great Tamil literary works, including those from the Sangam Age.
It features 70 singers drawn from both classical and popular streams of music.
The 5.5-minute song is featured as streaming media and as a downloadable mp3 file on the website.
Filmed by Gautam Vasudev Menon, the song begins with veteran singer T.M. Soundararajan rendering the lines ‘Pirapokkum Ella Uyirkkum.’
It brings out the melodious blending of the traditional Tamil nagaswaram and tavil with the guitar and drums. To emphasise the greatness of classical Tamil, the line, ‘Semmozhiyaana Tamizh mozhiyaam,’ runs through the song. In seeking to capture the spirit of the hoary language, Mr. Karunanidhi has included references to the works of Tholkapiyar, Thiruvalluvar, Kamban and Ilango Adigal. [click to continue...]

Imagine if this had happened. MJ and Rahman on a single stage.Will it did happen for Ekam Satyam, but no one seems to have any damn record of it. But i am talking of full on blast concert creating a mother load of a mash-up to be embedded in the books for ever! Imagine such a treat for the world audience!!
It was one of those days again when i was doing parallel processing in my brain and found a great way to probably imagine how it would sound if we put 2 great tracks in a single mix. I did this mix very quickly, like in few hours,dint clean the mix in great detail because i wanted a ‘live feel’ and to achieve it, i let the sound bounce on its volume a bit.It feels raw and but thats how it should be i think.
To me it sounds awesome. AR Rahman’s track from Shivaji – The Boss mixed with Micheal Jackson’s Jam!! [click to continue...]
