Remixing old classics right or wrong?????

[pauly p]

It's a tune I love so in if we use the easty = pauly formula
we can safely say that you would despise everything about it
Bit to cheesey for you mate

lol ok I`ll try not to find out more then

Depends on a couple of things really ..

No harm in it if the motivation to remix or cover a track is out of respect for the original.

Providing the job is done right then remixing or covering tracks can open up that track to a whole new market and age group that may have never known the track existed otherwise ..

 

[R J]

whats the chosen few?

The Chosen Few is Liverpool DJ & Producer Mike Di Scala, who is also one third of Ultrabeat.

The track is as remake of H20's Nobodys Business, also contains the piano parts from Outrage's Tall & Handsome ...

I think its cool as long as its not a great track thats gettin turned into cheesy "donk/hardhouse" or chav bassline...
other than that, if its done right then why the hell not....cant hold a good tune down can you?

Bassline and Bouncey House is the devil!!!! Music for folk who don't have a CLUE!!!!!!!

For sure!!!!!!!!

a fair bit of bouncey house is original..before it became scouse house.. bouncey house, is rachel auburn type hard house.. but scousers come on the scene and robbed that too.. we all have our opinions..

if the original was amazing, i dont see the point in remixing it!

if the original was really really unique why bother?!

some tunes need making better, a majority, need leaving alone..

 

[dj_jam]

and at the end of the day, if eric prydz and the like want to rip off a sample and make it pure cheese, get called all sorts of shet, for a number one, what can we do about it?! we can turn it off, he can spend his money..

 

[oldskoolkidder]

if a tune has been remixed right then becomes a classic in it's own right. Take the chosen few, I've heard it at funky house nights, heard it at timeless and I played it a hardcore night and at at all the places, EVERYBODY was rockin
now thats just a good tune

Agreeed! Tune !

If its done well, eg the Dimitri Remix of Stetsasonic, then fine, if its a pile of cheesy smeg, eg That Soul Central Strings of Life thing then its not so fine

All about opinions though innit

 

[nathan]

totally agree with you

my simple response is that ifs done creatively with an honest retake as opposed to lets just blatantly rip of the original vibe or melody, Then good..

I think this is done with the upmost respect and tastefulness.
Produced by Danny Tenaglia.

sounds like a cash-in load of shite IMO

 

[pauly p]

Have to agree that was a top remix, done with love and respect for the original (and expansions). You can tell he spent time getting it just right using talent and musical knowledge unlike 2 blokes from Warrington with a sampler and a crap set of anthems

I dunno mate, that strings track when it first promo'd lit up floors across the nation before it got a proper full release.

I can believe that, imho its awful and I suppose it shows how in touch with popular house I am lol. It charted didnt it

 

[bucky]

The edit with out the vocal etc wasn't my bag, how ever just watching people like Danny Krivit play it out for the first time, it defo worked. Add a vocal etc and yep it charted. Defo not my bag.

A friend of mine runs a xxxx house night...yes, the word 'funk' does appear in a lot of his flyer material and his website address. However, that's a different discussion altogether...

He played that Salsa House (2005?) remix and said the floor went mental. Yeah Dave, I said - its cos its a blatant ripoff. His take: who cares... I'm on the decks, it rocked the floor. I get rebooked.

And in all fairness, the young tyke is getting rebooked left right and centre - he played Ministry last weekend, has Pacha main room this Friday and debuts at the Cross in Feb.

So... if a classic house remix funkt up for 2006 gets the nippers on the floor pumping and hands in the air, is it a bad thing?

The instrumental is still goin down a storm, always fills the floor

The new "Soul Central" tune "Need You Now" is quite nice, samples Nikkita Warren.

Also Hoxton Whores have just done a Remix of "N-Joi - Anthem" Not as good as some of their other remixes, and sounds like it's been re-vocalled, but it's still ok.
