Music Maestro: Mikey McCleary

I'm not a fan of remixes but Mikey, if you're reading this, you're the baap of all the Music directors out there who try their hands on remixing or as they say "reviving" the track. You must have heard the remixes of Mikey in some movie or as some ad jingle but here i give you the list of 5 best remixes (not in a ranking order because all of these are so frigging beautiful!)

1) Chalte Chalte yun hi koi - This remix has a very relaxed and calm feel. Singer Mauli Dave has done complete justice to this song. The saxophone just adds to the lovely track making it the late night anthem. The original is form the movie Pakeeza(1972) sung by Lata Mangeshkar and music by Ghulam Mohammad



2) Yeh Sama, Sama Hai Yeh Pyar Ka  - The original is from the movie Jab Jab phool Khile(1965)  Sung by Lata Mangeshkar and Music by: Kalayanji, Anandji. This version is again sung so beautifully by the melodious Mauli Dave that it takes you to the dream world.



3) Kabhi Kabhi mere dil mei - Originally by the movie Kabhi Kabhi (1976) sung by Lata Mangeshkar and music by Khayyam. the continuous snaps along with the jazzy music makes it a peppy yet soothing track. I totally love this one by Mikey!

4) Dhak Dhak - Originally from the movie: Beta (1991), Singers: Anuradha Paudwal and Udit Narayan Jha, Music Directors: Anand-Milind. Revamped for the movie Nautanki Saala with the singers Saba Azad, Geet Sagar, Bruno Carvalo, Santosh Sawant is the new and awesome version of the same ol' legendary "Dhak Dhak".



5) Mast Kalandar - It is a punjabi folk song and many singers have sung mast kalandar. Mikey has produced two versions of the song with the euphonious voice of Rekha Bhardwaj. One has a nice folkish clap-and-sing music and the other is a rock version!!



Mikey, you make brilliant music which gives us a nice company in our joyful and cozy moments. I'm a fan of yours! Keep making the awesome music!!
