The Bulgarian - Jack It Like a Zombie
When DJ/producer The Bulgarian (aka Dimitre Vassilev) released “Jack It Like a Zombie” in 2006, Potty Mouth Music was still gaining ground as one of the premiere labels in dance music. Released as a single track on PMM003, the cut featured quirky vocals styled by Spoek and sharp sense of dance floor credibility. Now nearly four years later, “Jack It Like a Zombie” gets a diverse rework from some of music’s top-tier producers and emerging talents. The result is collaborative sampling of electro, house and dubstep that keeps PMM fans guessing into each beat.
“This was the flagship track of the PMM003 EP—it also has that wonderful vocal from Spoek which makes it even more remix friendly,” Vassilev says of his self-styled “Zombie EP.” “At the time of its release, the label was still in its infancy and (Label Owner) James Amato and I think it deserves another shot.”
So did the 482 producers who officially registered for the remix contest, which wrapped up in January 2010. In the end, 60 producers were chosen to participate and 40 submitted their mixes before the deadline. PMM selected two winners based on a set of four criteria: Use of remix parts, production quality, overall groove and label compatibility. “I had an extremely difficult time picking just one winner,” says Amato, who narrowed his final four selections to two genres: electro house and dubstep remixes. Final remix winners include the dubstep shuffle of Chicago’s HULK and the peak-hour synergy of L.A.’s Cold Blank.
