Barry Harris on his Don’t Tell Me remix

This weekend MadonnaTribe will be presenting an exclusive interview to Dj Barry Harris from Thunderpuss. Among other things we chatted with him about Don’t Tell Me, the first Madonna track Thunderpuss officially remixed:

Barry Harris: “There’s always a lot of thought (a least for me) put into a mix and what kind of direction it should be. I didn’t believe that Madonna herself would really want a standard Thunderpuss formula mix. I felt it should be creative, inventive and cool. I didn’t WANT to do a “Hand’s In The Air Anthem” at first…though I knew we could do one with our eyes closed. That’s something one has to consider, do you make a mix solely for the dance floor? Or/and something the artist is going to appreciate.
I knew Madonna herself was going to listen to the mix and not just a record company A/R guy. I knew it had to get past her first, so I created and fought for a mix that I was sure she would like…which she did. After we got past that barrier, Chris REALLY wanted to do the Hands In The Air Anthem, so I agreed and “went with it”

Full Interview to Barry Harris is coming later this week on MadonnaTribe
