Mixing Madonna… Above & Beyond

“Last year, when I was in LA, I popped in to see Madonna‘s manager, Caresse Henry Norman, and played her some of the Above & Beyond stuff we’d been doing and asked if she would mind us doing a remix for Madonna,” says Tony McGuinness.

“Numerous emails followed once I got home, and eventually she said we could do a spec mix. We did the mix, and after a month of agonizing wait, I got the call.”

Madonna commissioned Above & Beyond to do a remix of the third single for her “Music” album, “What It Feels Like for a Girl.” McGuinness had failed once before in trying to win the heart of Madonna. He’d done a remix that Orbit loved, but she hated.

“But this time Madonna loved it so much so she made her video to it!” muses McGuinness. “We had to do some adjustments to the mix to make it fit the video edit – 30 versions in all, with sound effects and all sorts – until we got there.”
