Sly Stone / Family Affair remix

Fam Affair

I assembled my first DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) in late 1999. My two favorite pieces of software at the time were the amazing ACID from Sonic Foundry (now owned by Sony) and a sweet little program called ReBirth from a Swedish software company called Propellerheads. (This company later created the very popular program REASON and has since discontinued with ReBirth. You can actually get a free copy of ReBirth right now from the Propellerheads website.)

Family Affair was mixed in early 2000 with Acid and ReBirth. It’s really the only remix I’ve done from those days that I think still holds up. The sax solo is David Sanborn, from a tune called Savannah, from his disc, Hearsay.
