Remixing old classics right or wrong?????

[lastnightadj]

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

When I was working in a record shop we hads tons of unsold copies of the Soul Central original white - it was only when Danny Krivit edited it (about 12 months later) and added his name that it started to pick up interest - I like Krivit but both versions were shit IMHO

 

[lastnightadj]

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

Its ok - but the strings stabs they added seem out of key to my ears

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

Yeah but just coz you don't like it doesn't mean that its shit. Each to their own and that....


And saying that it's music for folk who don't have a clue is like the same as a die-hard thrash metal lover saying all dance music is the work of the devil.

I bet there's loads of Pink Floyd fans who can't stand what the Scissor Sistors did to Comfortably Numb, but who cares? If you don't like it, just don't listen to it.

Some tunes don't even get a chance to become great records before they are obliterated by some cheesy remix. a perfect recent example is that Mylo tune (pressure?) remixed with "miami sound machine". Jesus

I don't mind remixes, I respect other music EVEN if it is not to my taste....


BUT BASSLINE AND BOUNCEY SUCK ASS!!!! Please tell me, come ten years down the line you're not gonna think "Ooooh, that pretty green eyes bouncey house rip off........what a classic tune, music of our time fo sho"

i think not.

It takes the least amount of tallent or creativity to punch thses crap tunes out.

Lol I actually quite 'liked' that. I thought it was quite clever and it blew the roof off the Space Terrace if there was a roof there to blow off

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

Oi!

Let's see you make a tune then!


You could say the same about a lot of dance music though, not just bouncy house. If you pull it apart and look at its basic structure, it's surprisingly simple. I think that most musicians with an interest in dance music could knock up a track fairly easily, but not all musicians could continue to write symphonies, concertos and sonatas after they had gone deaf!



You've got to hand it to this guy...

How can remixing be wrong............

House Music Was Born from sampling and remixing.........nuff said



whether you like the remix or not is purely down to your own interpretation of the tune..

Totally agree, was very cleverly put together by phil n dog. I have the orig' booty of this n you gotta hand it to em, they done good.
The actual release of dr. pressure on Breastfed was redone, if i remember rightly.

If I was gonna make a tune....it wouldn't be JUST like every other tune...perhaps change the vocals and the key...maybe.

Please...I find that patronising as fuck....I know what components make music. I have studied it before I got into dance music.
bouncy and bassline are nearly always made of the same parts (same bassline etc) Just with different vocals (usually always pulled from somewhere else)If you couldn't here the vocals....you wouldn't be able to decifer one tune from another tbh. I just think of all musical creativity...these two genre's have the LEAST!!!!

Please name me a Bouncey house "classic" and I'll let it go. And please in future do not underestimate my intelligence...it really sucks ass.

Alex K - Pussy Whipped

Its annoying because its toss (IMO). plus its one of those tunes that makes the DJ in Yate's wine lodge think he's mixed two records togetherand the retards drinking in there that he's great

 

[ilovepiano]

Lozzie, I wasn't having a go or anything.

As for classics I have no idea, I'm not that into the scene that I could name any. But I'm sure that the die hard bouncy house followers love their music the same as you love yours, and I love my piano stuff.

Just like the old saying... One mans marmite is another mans KFC variety meal, maxed out to fook with extra chips, a diet pepsi and twister for pudding!

OK, instead of 2 blokes from Warrington I`ll choose 1 bloke from Bradford

Anyone heard the Mr Pink remix of Joe Smooth - Promised Land from about 2000?

A fine example of a remix and its better than the original IMO
I may be the only one who has that opinion on here but there you go lol
