Hey everyone,
So… after ten years of silence (musically, not verbally: you know I never shut up), I’m finally putting something back into the world. I’m proud to announce the release of Security Remixes Vol. 1, a 3-track exploration of what happens when old-school R&B vocals collide with my need to deconstruct, re-assemble, and occasionally misbehave.
The foundation of this project is Grier, whose voice sits somewhere between modern grit and that classic Teddy Pendergrass heat. The original “Security” track was pure R&B elegance. Naturally, I decided to take that elegance and… poke at it. Stretch it. Break it. Rewire it. Because after almost 20 years producing, I still can’t resist rebelling against the obvious.
Here’s what I cooked up for this remix pack:
Security (Burken's Redux Mix)
A sped-up reinterpretation nudging into deep-house territory. Dancefloor-ready with the heart of the original intact.
Security (Da Dub Mix)
This one bounces and breathes. Housey, dubby, rhythmic... It moves without asking permission.
Security (Lou Peoples Mix)
Haunting minimalism. Think stripped-down techno energy with a ghostly guitar lead that makes you wonder “Is this heavenly… or slightly unsettling?” Correct answer: both.
For those who’ve followed my work since the mid-2000s, yes, this is the same rebel energy, just with more years of life, tech, and questionable decisions behind it. I took a decade off releasing music to live, build, break things, rebuild them, and, finally, finish a new full album coming mid-2026. This remix project is the first spark of that return.

To all the DJs, producers, and industry heads I’ve known forever: thank you for sticking around, even when I vanished into the multiverse. To the fans who only heard from me during the occasional DJ set or weird late-night Mixcloud uploads, here you go. Chapter 2 starts now.
Security Remixes Vol. 2 lands later this year with some surprise remixes - it seems plenty of my old trusted contributors have been going through their own purgatory and couldn't wait to release those emotions in music too.
Stay tuned — I’m just getting warmed up.
