The Melker Project

Trill Collins is my 4th EP focusing on a single classic artist. I’ve been obsessed with Phil Collins since I was a “Young Melker,” and have always wanted to tackle his catalogue. The task was daunting, as a number of Phil’s songs are basically rock/pop perfection, particularly “In The Air Tonight.”

For each song, I started by replaying all of the individual instruments with updated sounds and synths. I used these new sounds to remix the tracks, and later reincorporated samples from the original Phil Collins songs. After all of this was done, I mashed up my new versions with appropriate vocals. In the case of “Invisible Touch” I decided to do a straight up remix with the vocal being the only element of the original track.

I hope that I have done justice to one of my musical idols and still stayed true to my fans. The entire project is available exclusively at A.V. CLUB. Only one song is available, at present, for download… we will be making one available each week! Get it while it’s hot!
