Hi Matthew:
TY for your question.
The record label sent me the song and asked me to do a remix. I loved the song so I said yes and its def one of my favorites! If Tokyo Hotel has a song they want remixed, I'd love to do one!

Hey Dave, Im a MASSIVE fan from the UK, I have recently started my own radio show/podcast and I was wondering if it would be possible to get an interview sometime, Your music goes down very well in the nightclub scene in Belfast as Im sure it does in the rest of the UK and the show is based on that kind of music, If you could get back to me it would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks

Hi Dave, I produce music with my lovely girlfriend Sae (Wexxel & Sae), but sometimes we get stuck with an arrangement. What do you do when you get stuck and no idea's come up to finish a track. What generally works for you making a track work?
Feb. 17, 2012 by Wexxel
Hi Wexxel (and Sae):
Great question. I suggest you listen to songs you like and make notes on the specific parts, then try to emulate that.
Here is an example of my standard arrangement:
Intro / Chorus / Verse
B Section 1 / Chorus / Verse 2
B Section 2 / Chorus 2
Bridge / Chorus 3
