Here’s an extract from the interview:

MTribe: How were you approached to remix Madonna’s next single? was it totally unexpected? Can we expect more Jackie’s mixes of her songs in the future?

Jackie: I asked to remix “Nothing Fails” I really liked this song on her latest album. So when I got to work on her song it was very exciting and I am so glad she approved my mix! I really hope to add my flavor to more Madonna remixes.

MTribe: Tell us more about the remix you did, and what is the idea you wanted to develop.

Jackie: I wanted it to be a mainfloor mix with a big choir breakdown so you felt the magic of the Madonna and the choir, like church.

MTribe: Was it hard to turn a ballad into a club mix?

Jackie: I had no problem. I had my ideas for this song before I walked in the studio.

MTribe: Did you use only Madonna’s vocals, or there were any other samples from the original track?

Jackie: I used Madonna’s vocals and the choir.

MTribe: Speaking of Madonna, do you usually play her mixes in clubs, and how do people respond to them?

Jackie: Madonna’s music has always packed a dancefloor. Sometimes you can do a theme based around Madonna songs. I Love to play her remixes that are made for big dancefloors.

MTribe: Which are your Madonna favorite remixers?

Jackie: I like what Peter Rauhofer has been doing and also Victor Calderone.
