Lior Magal on SoundBetter

A super fresh & unique energetic club mix of their song. Guaranteed!

As a New York DJ / Music Producer / Remixer for the last 20 years, I have massive experience and a unique touch when it comes to bringing recording artists' magic to a whole new level. My passion is in taking songs' vocal tracks - and giving them a brand new life in a club / dance-floor format.

All we need is to get clarity on the style & vibe of the mix (getting some references and discussing), then I'll need your vocal tracks, and we're good to go!

I have done remix projects with Nelly Furtado (billboard #1), Britney Spears, PINK (billboard #3), Idina Menzel, Cascada and many many others. Label Affiliations: Sony/BMG, Geffen/Interscope, Warner Bros. Robbins Entertainment, Mpress Records, BLUEM Records, Central Park Recordings.

Looking forward to work together!
Lior
