Stevie Wonder - Superstition (DJ Devastate & Segerfalk Remix)


"Today we celebrate the 63rd birthday of one of the most ingenious and influential artists of the late 20th century. Mr. Stevland, Hardaway Judkins a.k.a Stevie Wonder. Defining multi-talent in music field, with a vibrant career that has spanned over fifty years. Stevie’s achievements will without a doubt remain an inspiration for many generations to come.
To celebrate this day, DJ Devastate (Swedish DJ and producer) teams up with Fredrik Segerfalk (Analog Sweden) to offer an interpretation of Stevie’s most iconic song "Superstition”. The original track (released in October 1972) deals with the topic of superstitions and includes one of the most funky clavinet riffs of all time (played on the Hohner Clavinet C).
Devastate & Segerfalk reworks the track into a more moderns, rhythm based, bass-heavy anthem topped with some smooth Rhodes piano. The remix is a tribute to Stevie, reworked with respect, to honour the timeless original. Enjoy Devastate & Segerfalk’s production overhaul (it’s a free download). Cover design by artist Jonas Hilmersson. Happy birthday to you Stevie!"

Pete Rock Remix out in collaboration with Laid Back! (Free Download)

I had the opportunity to work with one of my favorite sources for dope music, Laid Back Radio from Belgium! We just dropped a remix of the track "Revenge" by Pete Rock Ft. Grap Luva. Doing this project i also got to work with one of my favorite artist, Mister Adam. He hooked me up with a really funky cover! The remix is out for free download so check it out..


"Swedish DJ and producer Devastate dropped his first full length album “Movement/Silence” on BBE records back in 2010. Some noteworthy collaborations include: Masta Ace, Ed O.G, J-Ro (Alkaholiks), Reks, Akrobatik, Termanology and many others. You can also find him on Mellow Madness II (Wax Poetics), On Display (Soularp Records) and the “Movement/Mixes” funk series on BBE Records.
For this particular release in collaboration with Laid Back, Devastate sets out to remix the soul brother himself, Mr. Pete Rock. Reinterpreting “the king of beats” is never easy task but Dev takes on the 2006 underground classic ”Revenge” with great confidence. Devastate flips the beat, staying true to the original, with a classic production formula. Thumping drums, heavy baseline and signature turntable acrobatics. The result definitely leaves your head nodding. Devastate is paying homage to Pete and sums it up in the outro scratches - “You know a learned from the greatest, Pete Rock to Jay Dee, Diggin In The Crates”.

Production on Mykill Miers new album "Iron Myk"


Mykill Miers A.K.A The Hitchcock of Hip Hop just dropped a new album called "Iron Myk" today. A great album with features from: Bishop Lamont, Opio ( Souls of Mischief), Sadat X and more. I produced the track "Then The Job Gets Done". Out on ITUNES and CD.

"Underground powerhouse, Mykill Miers, one of Los Angeles' most revered lyricists is embarking on his 5th studio album titled 'Iron Myk' this April.

A bold, mature release; 'Iron Myk' is a culmination of everything Mykill Miers has witnessed and experienced throughout his career from a relative unknown in the scene cutting his teeth on compilation albums and rugged demo classics throughout the 1990's, to releasing his now-classic solo album 'It's Been A Long Time Coming' and his three subsequent releases - 'The Second Coming', 'Trials of Job' and 'Take It In Blood' - as well as his work with his crew, Next Of Kin.

The undeniable lead single 'Give Em Hell' which Mykill Miers produced himself, is the perfect introduction to 'Iron Myk', and captures the intensity and conviction of the Los Angeles hip hop veteran, and underground legend. 'Job Gets Done' produced by Sweden's DJ Devastate serves as the perfect companion track, and in turn captures Mykill Miers' truly international appeal as the two met and began working after Mykill Miers' recent European tour, solidifying his brand and impact on the world as a whole.

Do yourself a favor and cleanse yourself with the true and raw feeling of one of the West Coast's and Hip Hop's finest lyricists with this exclusive selection from April's 'Iron Myk'.

Anthony Hamilton - Comin' From Where I'm From (DJ Devastate & Segerfalk Remix)


"Swedish dj/producer DJ Devastate drops another remix through The Find. After his interpretations on tracks by The Roots and Amy Winehouse, this time he transforms Anthony Hamilton's "Comin' From Where I'm From" together with keyboardist, fusion artist and owner of Analog Sweden, Fredrik Segerfalk. 

On the original title song off Anthony Hamilton's second album, the soul-storyteller is assisted by piano keys to talk about getting out of the ghetto. This remix stays true to that with mesmerizing keys. Thumping drums and a soothing sax serve as a perfect backdrop for Anthony Hamilton's introspective lyrics. 

The artwork is done by Jonas Hilmersson and Fredrik Segerfalk plays the rhodes. DJ Devastate: "Fredrik is a good friend of mine. He played various instruments on many of the tracks on my album 'Movement/Silence' on BBE Records." Segerfalk runs the studio Analog Sweden in Helsingborg, focused on vintage synthesizers and analog studio equipment."

Download The track Free here!
