This is a remix I am making for the official remix compo on D&BA. It's kinda similar to the original, I'm afraid. I tried a few different aproaches, but it seems it's kinda hard not to do the same but still make a remix, and not a whole new track.
This is an unfinished version, I'll don't make the finished one public for the time being, but I wanted your feedback anyway
So: intro is going to get filled up a bit, just like the breakdowns, the drums are going to get some more variations, some FX will be added here and there, but you get the idear I guess.
I did use the original lead sound, but since doing that the whole track, I went for another leadsound I made with the nice Infector synth (Buzz users know thisone).
Download here
Now tell me: is it worth trying sending this in? Or does it completely stink?
EDIT 10-08-2004: Changed the link to the finished version

Tnx man. Not too silly? I already found the original quite simple and stuff, and with the wobbly bassline and stuff I was afraid it would sound dull

the wobble sure got me by surprise
like the filters in the drop and stuff, not a fan of the wobble
did you recreate the horns yourself ??
how the hell did you do that?
anyway, i haven't touched my thing in a week, kinda given up, can't find a decent lead...

Yeah, this track is great, I like it a lot, it's so crazy, mainly that bassline. Drums are quite good too.

not your best work, but i have to say that it's becuz of the crappy quality of the original tune, it's no fault of your own...you're the one who actually had the balls to use the original lead (which sux huge balls) and you did what you could with it (gotta admit they didn't give us much to work with)...the sound quality's clean as expected, but the only faults lie with drumsound & sbs for actually putting this out in the first place...i'm still trying to decide which is worse---the fact that they put this out or that dnb arena chose this tune for the second remix contest (the ez rollers tune wasn't exactly spectacular either...)....but to your advantage, yours actually has a bigger connection to the original than all the other remixes i've heard---most of the others sound like an entirely new tune with the 'ooh baby' samples thrown in for good measure...it's pretty sad when every single remix i've heard has been better than the original...yours is the best of the remixes...

Tnx Dave!
Yeah, I listened to all them remixes too yesterday. The goodones have little to do with the original indeed, exept for that Ooh Baby sample, and some others... hmmm... well, you get the idear. After hearing them all I acually started liking mine more coz it's more connected to the original and thus better from a remix point of view.
Lets hope the jury thinks the same as you do

like it very much !
drums are good, break is powerful, brings up a lot of "hope" (u know what i mean)
but pleasseeee man, change the wawawawawawawa when it drops, it's really disgusting
, and it creates this big anticlimax ...
but apart from that, tight production, good remix, a lil details changed and you could defo send it out !!
(sorry for my direct and harsh comments, but i'm a bit drunk, and i tend to get harder on people then
)

Ummm... not impressed! Its the original..
Remix is something different from original! Thats why its called re-mix! Thats mean that u with your imagination rebuild the original tune and with half of original samples mix it! But thats my opinion! U ripped the horn from original and put in ur remix! Thats not good!
The rhytm is okay, same like original with louder snare! Not impressed!
Bassline, okay...
Ok remix but not impressed me! But good luck... and see ya on the voting list!

All my other atempts were completely new tracks with just the vocal in, and I didn't want that...
Also, making a remix doesn't mean you have to replace all sounds and stuff...

I'm gonna be blunt....
I dont like the original and I'm not really feeling this one cause you've used the same
bassline.
Your remix is better than the original, beefed up bass and you've used variations throughout the tune. The vocal 'hugh!' fits well, the wah wah bass is fresh and the track is well produced, the drums on the intro are crisp!
If I hadnt heard the original I'd probably like it a lot more !!!

Like told many times, this track is a real bitch to remix (to something good) and still be able to keep a good link with the original...
Couldn't do it better when holding to the statements above so I wish you good luck on the contest!
