Sc@r - Acid Porn Monkey (Archefluxx Remix)

During 2011 Raw Elements ran by Uplift & Sc@r launched an interesting and exciting remix competition. The track being remixed was Sc@r - Acid Porn Monkey. The track was a bouncy party style tune, with a powerful piano riff, so to remix it would require creativity to win the competition.

The Archefluxx remix was a somwhat experimental effort. Archefluxx with the use of Zebra 2 utilized a series of wobble synths that fit into the 4/4 beat. The track also took influence from "Gammer & Klubfiller - Pure Fish", which started it's buildup with a simple beep, building into saws and the drop. Archefluxx with the first drop built up to a false-drop, which built again filtering in the beat and melody before the eventual drop which a glitched and stuttery lead. The second drop built into a complete melodic riff layered with a piano. Throughout the track the samples supplied in the remix pack where used. Also used was a series of female groans glitched into the track.

Eventually, the Sam B remix won the competition, and the Archefluxx Remix was finally released freely in March 2012.

Artwork
The artwork raised a few eyebrows when it was released. This edition of artwork contains Ravefox with a rocket-penis as it's taking off and blasting. This was suggested by a fan and eventually Archefluxx agreed to draw it. The links to the "Porn" theme were obvious, though the link to the "Monkey" was loose, so a monkey pattern was added to the background. A half-tone effect gave the artwork a comic-book feel, while the realistic fire gave it a strange real look. The contrasting effects made it suitable to use 3D text. The artwork eventually merged together not much unlike a collage.
