Apparently, Travis Barker doesn't sleep. At all. Which is how he's able to keep cranking out remixes while simultaneously working on a new Blink-182 record, his own solo album, and rehearsing for an upcoming show with Slash Oh and he has a couple other buinesses and a couple kids. This dude does not stand still.
Travis picked up some serious skills from his late friend DJ AM. Barker started with Drake's track Forever and added acapella verses from Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. He then built the base track and beat from the ground up to finally play his drums over. Absolutely amazing!
"Remixes are hard, because some of my critics will be like, 'Trav, you shoulda gone bananas on it,' but going bananas on it will sometimes take away from how cool a song is — it's a happy medium," he laughed. "With this one, I see a gradual crescendo — it just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, all the way up until the last chorus, where I crash out and there's a big Phil Collins moment, with a drum-fill solo underneath Drake's chorus. It was a tough one, man." --mtv.com
