Producer Tracks @ 3.0
By ReMix Memphis
In 2018, ReMix Memphis made its library of field recordings available to diverse Memphis musicians and producers, to mix and mash up with their own musical inventions. The result: Producer Tracks @ 3.0.
This album collects sixteen tracks from music creators all over the city, including IMAKEMADBEATS, Kid Maestro and C Major (of Unapologetic), Jonathan Kirkscey (composer of soundtracks for Best of Enemies and Won’t You Be My Neighbor?), Robby Grant (Big Ass Truck & Mellotron Variations), Alicja Trout (Lost Sounds, Sweet Knives), Don Lifted, Seth Moody (Jack Oblivian Band), and many others. The result is a rich, dreamlike sonic journey, full of echoes any Memphian will recognize. Let these tracks flow by and you'll hear (and imagine) a great deal of drama here in the Bluff City.

By Sonosphere
This episode Sonosphere dives into Remix Memphis with Alex Greene and Luis Seixas, two Memphis musicians that make the duo The E.G.G.G.
Remix Memphis grew out of a partnership with the Urban Arts Commission and the city of Memphis' 3.0 comprehensive planning initiative that worked to solicit participation from community leaders, residents and planners to inform future land use and neighborhood plans for the city.
Pre-ReMix: Sketches of Crosstown
By 1Breath
One gem on Producer Tracks @ 3.0 is an outtake from these sessions by Sean Murphy and collaborator Jim Spake. In 2012, the pair set up on the 6th floor of the unrenovated
Sears Crosstown building in Memphis. The result was a musical field recording that accomplished in real time what the ReMix Memphis artists did with multitrack recording: a perfect blend of musical tones (Murphy on tuba, Spake on tenor saxophone) and the city’s ambient sounds (the natural reverb of the old Sears Tower, now the Crosstown Concourse). The results were released on Murphy’s album, 'Sketches of Crosstown,’ previewed here.
