Andy’s Cross-Mix Vol. 1A - Practically Pop Remix [Mixed-Genre]


Andy Cross Jobs: Andy’s Cross-Mix Vol. 1A – Practically Pop Remix [Debut Album]

I see myself as a music remix-artist. In addition to the few music classes I took in college, I also studied architecture because I am interested in creative activities. Due to various reasons, architecture could not serve me as a creative outlet. I found my interest in many genres of music and mixing them to be my creative outlet.

 After searching, researching, chopping, and remixing for the last four years, I just released my first Pop Remix CD on December 12,2012. When listening and evaluating the long sample tracks please keep in mind the problem and challenge I had in finding royalty free music interesting enough to be used in my remix project. Sampling hit songs was not an option as getting sampling license is cost prohibitive and nearly impossible. Most copyright owners do not even respond to such requests. Getting a license to cover a song is easy even if the copyright owners are not willing. It could be forced upon them by filing with the copyright office and paying the required fees. The option of forced licensing is not available for sampling songs.

It is known that remix artists like King Grandmaster Flash managed to sample the hit songs of the time. The other known remix artist who produces remix tracks under the name “Girl Talk.” also used any hit music available on the market in his remix claiming “Fair Use.”  I had to resort only to music I could obtain permission to sample, public domain music, royalty free music, and music licensed under the Creative Commons License to avoid infringing on any copyright protected works. It was like an artist composing a painting with a limited number of colors on his palette. From what was available to me in the public domain and under the Creative Commons license, I avoided using many pieces of music that I found not interesting enough.

What kind of album is this? It is Popular Music mixed with other genres: R&B, Hip-hop, Jazz, Rock, Traditional, Country, Classical, World … etc.


I would like to thank all of the generous artists I sampled in my remix project. Special thanks to Dan-O (DanoSongs.com), Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com), and US Air Force Band. I have provided extensive detailed credits and attribution with the CD booklet. Here in my blog (below), I have provided the source music credits and attributions with links to the Web presence of each artist/group of the source music I sampled.
