Classixx the 2 gentlemen responsible for that amazing remix of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” were kind enough to answer a few questions about themselves and their music. They are definitely going to be a big part of my Summer ’09 soundtrack. Can’t wait for more slick feel good productions from this duo.

Asian Dan Interview: CLASSIXX
1. Who is CLASSIXX? How would you describe your music.
Classixx are Michael David and Tyler Blake. Our music is hard to describe, we tend to like the blend of organic and synthetic musical elements, a nice groove and soulful melodies.
2. What are some of your influences? What was your first musical memory?
Our influences include.. World Music, Modern Funk, Ambient stuff, Kraut Rock, Disco grooves etc.. I remember Seeing Paul Simon at the Rhythm of the Saints w/ my parents in 91′. I was about 6, thats my earliest conscious musical memory.
3. What is the goal of CLASSIXX’s music?
Just to reach as many people as possible, and to enjoy it.

A Fight for Love & 25 Hours A Day turn “Lisztomania” into an even more 80s sounding track, think Toto. Awesome.

Phoenix – Lisztomania (A Fight For Love & 25 Hours A Day)
Not Holy Ghost!’s best production but still a fun track. Nothing beats the Classixx remix.

I dunno how to feel about this tune, the first single off of Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. It’s kind of mediocre pop for the Phoenix boys. I want EPIC BIG POP!
