The art of remixing

Kidding.



How the hell does this work? If you listen carefully enough you may actually spot the effect that - how should we put it - turns this track upside down.
Imagine you're an A&R and you haven't a clue about pre-2017 tunes in your genre - is that how it goes?

the good thing is that this way these guys can't damage the track that much, which is always good. Always reminds me of when everyone (mainly guy j) were remixing classics non stop and the result was almost always utterly awful stuff

Quite right.

I just hope he used a good quality file when he pitched it down.

Quickest way to make an extended version from a radio one

Sounds a lot better than I expected when I started listening though.

Or the glorious days of Sean "Needs A Harder Kick" Tyas remixes.

I was quite looking forward to this when a friend told me Moscoman had remixed Greece 2000, as he makes some good tunes. Imagine my disappointment.

I mean, aren't there some records that just don't lend themselves to being remixed in any way that justifies one? Something like Greece 2000, or Cafe del Mar- records that are just all hook- don't seem like they allow for many twists or turns.

I personally love it when a remix sounds worlds apart from the original while still maintaining some identifiable relationship between the two. Rob Garza'a remix of Tycho's 'Ascension' comes to mind whenever I dwell on the subject:

I totally disagree with this, for two reasons. Firstly, a record that is famous just for its distinctive hook is surely far more open to remixing, because you can transpose that hook into many different styles and contexts. It also implies that the rest of the track isn't very memorable, and therefore more disposable. And secondly, I don't agree that Greece 2000 is "all hook" anyway. My favourite thing about Greece 2000 is the rumbling bassline and percs, which together are far groovier than the majority of your breakdown-melody trance classics, and indeed most of the remixes that have come out down the years.
