As soon as I heard Rita Ora’s Let You Love Me, I thought of Mario’s Let Me Love You. They are mirrored in content and title and sound oddly similar. I brought them both into RekordBox and they played relatively nice together.
Since they are both pop tracks, they are tricky to mix because the artists sing over the entire track. So, I started looking for extended or club mixes, acapellas or instrumentals. The best I could come up with was a bootleg of Mario’s track on Youtube.
The mix is short, just one transition and an effect to exit. However, the one transition was challenging. I overlap Mario’s track with the instrumental. If you listen closely, you can hear the phasing effect at the beginning of the chorus. Towards the end of the chorus, I use a 3rd deck to play Ora’s track while fading out Mario. The transition successfully kills his vocals while leaving the beat going. Between the start of the instrumental to the point where Ora is going solo, I am tweaking EQs, faders, and the low pass filter to make it sound right.
Enjoy!
