Back in October 2011, Marco Rochowski (the mastermind behind the project RETRONIC VOICE) asked me for a lead melody and lyrics for his forthcoming song SHOT DOWN. So, I wrote the lyrics and recorded demo vocals as a guide for the Daniel Petersson, the actual singer of RV.
The final song was released on Retronic Voice's debut album "The Awakening" in 2012.
Now, 10 years later, I came across my original demo vocals and Marco's original basic track again and had some ideas for a longer, extended "bootleg" remix with a new intro, new parts and lots of additional synths and drums.
I got in touch with Marco last week and he was excited to hear what I've come up with and greenlighted the remix. So - here we go - Enjoy!
Best regards - and always remember to keep the fire of 80s style music burning!
Yours,
Mirko
