'Do you remember' these two bangers? Producer and DJ Sickick certainly does.
In a recent video, Sickick transforms Michael Jackson's Remember The Time and Phil Collins' In The Air Tonight into a euphoric mashup that's got our hands firmly in the air... tonight.
After laying down some chords on his Arturia MiniLab MIDI controller, Sickick samples, triggers and loops vocal lines using a Pioneer DJM-S11. Cleverly mixing up vocal phrases from each track, he produces a call-and-response effect that sees Phil Collins answering MJ's lyrics ("do you remember?") with some of his own: "I remember, don't worry".

The producer explained how the idea for this genius mix came about in a post on his Instagram (opens in new tab): "so the story behind this one was @nishsosick and I were driving in LA and he started singing “do you remember” by @michaeljackson, and just as a joke I sang “I REMEMBER DONT WORRY” and we both looked at each other and started dying and knew we had the next post idea 😂😂 so I had to make it happen when I got home and here it is…"
Sickick's no stranger to a mashup: elsewhere on his channels, you can find blends of Busta Rhymes and the Red Hot Chili Peppers (opens in new tab), Adele and Do (opens in new tab), and Drake and Kanye West (opens in new tab).
