Bob Marley Re-mixes as part of Groove Deluxe. One day whilst working at Groove Deluxe's studio in Fulham , a guy walked into the studio and announced himself as Danny - Bob Marley's manager previous to the Chris Blackwell - Island Records period. He had with him a number of old master tapes which he said he still had the rights to and offered Darren and Paul a deal to remix a few of them. I tried to persuade the guys to go for the split cash up front option rather than points, but they would have none of it, opting instead for a higher point percentage! The result was that we spent most of the year 2000 working on the material building up the mixes but once the cash flow problem kicked in, I could no longer afford the travel to the Fulham studios and had to seek employment elsewhere. I lost touch with Groove Deluxe whom later finished the project. I ended up well out of pocket (2 - 3k at the least) and heard conflicting stories that the project was frozen because of rights issues. Recently, I found out the project did in fact complete in 2001. Lesson; keep your head and go for the upfront money and a shared point system if you can! Credits include, sound design, arrangement, programming, mixing and co-production as part of the Groove Deluxe team. Recorded 2000 Fulham.
