Blue Monday (Part II) out now!

It was time to pull Atila's 'chilled' vocals for Blue Monday out of the vault and, at 96bpm, create the slowest, most cinematic version of this song in history! With that lush voice lightly kissed by the Vocoder, I wanted to add a touch of Hans Zimmer and Vangelis' style with dramatic synths, driving low end, and beautiful Lexicon 224 reverbs - as used in Blade Runner! The 'Instrumental' version is Bandcamp exclusive and will not be available anywhere else :)

Blue Monday (Part I)

It was time to get a modern interpretation on this club classic, with the wicked Atila providing some lush vocals after his work on the James Bond project. I wanted to take you on an epic journey from beginning to end with some futuristic electronic dance music vibes. Enjoy!

Mission: Impossible Theme

Breaking all the rules and creating absolute mayhem with over 100 instruments, this is the craziest and longest Mission Impossible theme in history. I had a goal to create a theme that is full of energy from beginning to end, which you can also take on your own 'impossible' journey through life… The awesome Shawn Lee performed on three different vintage guitars and added some cool percussion. Months of effort went into this gem to deliver you maximum mayhem!

SPECTRE Bond Theme

In early 2015 I wrote a title song for the film Spectre before the official theme was released. It was a demo for the late David Bowie. The song was shelved and I never planned to release it, until some Bond fans heard it and requested that I put it out. So I gave the demo some TLC and looked for a great singer. I managed to find the awesome Scott Foster Harris who has provided a beautiful vocal. What you are about to hear is the final version of Spectre. Turn it up and enjoy this wickedly dark rock song...

We Have All The Time In The World

I wanted to create a lovely laid back version of the Bond classic ‘We Have All The Time In The World’ for your absolute listening pleasure. London jazz singer Atila delivered a wonderfully warm vocal to accompany the dreamy pads, a George Michael style piano, and really pretty arpeggios. My most popular James Bond song by far, you have all the time in the world to enjoy this gem... :)

The Man With The Golden Gun

Presenting an incredibly haunting and beautiful version of the Bond classic ‘The Man With The Golden Gun’. This song has never been imagined like this before - Hans Zimmer style basses and synths, beautiful pads and arpeggios sit under spectacular vocals delivered by the awesome jazz singer Emma Smith. Step inside another world :)

The Look Of Love

This is a beautiful extended version of the Bond classic ‘The Look Of Love’. New piano parts, analogue electronic instruments (including a Mellotron), and beautiful pads and strings accompany stunning vocals by the jazz diva Heidi Vogel - nobody could have done it better ;)

Goldfinger

I wanted to create a beautiful and relaxed downtempo version of the Bond classic ‘Goldfinger’ by slowing it down and spacing it out. London based jazz singer Emma Smith delivers a wonderful sultry vocal, accompanied by very pretty analogue synthesisers, beautiful pads and alluring arpeggios. This is pure gold!

Live And Let Die

Here we have the longest version of ‘Live And Let Die’ in history. Brace yourself for an epic onslaught of over 150 instruments - electronic, acoustic, orchestral, pianos, guitars by Shawn Lee, and wickedly delicious vocals by the epic jazz singer Heidi Vogel. This was the most challenging Bond song for me. Turn your volume dial up to 11!

A View To A Kill

A unique version of the Bond classic ‘A View To A Kill’ and my personal favourite. This slower, longer, chilled out version takes you on a deep emotional journey, with electronic elements, new melodies, Radio Gaga style bass synth, and spectacular vocals by the awesome jazz singer Emma Smith. Brace yourself for something very different and very special!

From Russia With Love

With ‘From Russia With Love’ I wanted to create a darker, longer version that takes you on a hypnotic journey with electronic elements, new melodies, epic bass, and perfect vocals by the great jazz singer Atila. Turn it up and FEEL the bass! ;)

Moonraker

Moonraker introduces a spaced out dream-like version of the classic Bond song. This longer interpretation brings the song up to date with electronic elements, new melodies, pretty arpeggios, and beautiful vocals by the spectacular jazz singer Natalie Williams. I personally think this is the prettiest song from the album Bond Reimagined.

Diamonds Are Forever

The classic ‘Diamonds Are Forever’ is the first song I worked on for the Bond album. This new version brings the song up to date with electronic instruments, new melodies, cool rhythms inspired by Prince, superb guitar work by Shawn Lee, and huge vocals by the wonderful jazz singer Natalie Williams.

James Bond Theme

A new ‘James Bond Theme’ for a new generation. This is the first time this iconic theme has been fully reworked since Moby took on the challenge back in the 90s. It's actually the last song I worked on because I didn't have the courage to take on the huge challenge - I'm glad I did because I learnt so much. Prepare yourself for an epic journey of analog synths and Shawn Lee's amazing guitar work - turn it up LOUD and FEEL the bass!

Limited Edition 'Bond Reimagined' CD

BOND REIMAGINED is a groundbreaking album of James Bond songs beautifully reproduced by British composer Rahi Malik with a futuristic electronic sound. Available to stream on all platforms, and to download and purchase on limited edition CD at Bandcamp.

The album features London's finest live jazz singers and every song was rewritten from scratch over two years, with painstaking attention to detail and quality, in order to give James Bond fans and music lovers something new to enjoy, yet remain faithful to the original compositions. Rock guitarist Shawn Lee performed amazing guitar pieces, and many classic analog synthesisers were used along with pianos, organs, drum kits (featuring Queen's Roger Taylor) and full orchestral instruments, in order to create a special and unique experience.

The album was also engineered carefully to deliver incredible sound across the spectrum, so it sounds great not only on your headphones, but also in cars, bars, and clubs! Bond Reimagined delivers a new and very special album for you to enjoy at any moment. Turn it up LOUD because you've never heard anything like this!
