very good remix man, can't fault it really.

I'm more a fan of rolling basslines but i still liked it. Vocals fit well, maybe they would have needed a bit more presence in the buildup.

I wanted to say this was really pants like you say in your reviews but unfortunatly I will save that for another day! This is actually very good and is the first tune I have heard from your stable! I can now appreciate your strong reviews based on this!

Hey Alanzo,

I think any other track with better vocals would have sounded a lot better if remixed by you. I totally do not like the vocals of Dj fall to pieces track other than that this track sounds decent. Too bad melodically you hardly have any special things happening in the track, it keeps flowing on without a major thing happening. It is nice and mellow but does not really get me hooked by any specific element at all. Also the bassline is not bit on the weakside.

I have not heard the remix from Icone nor from JayM but them beating you in the contest seems pretty reasonable, because at the moment they are just a few steps ahead of you as a producer.

Cheers!

Hey Alan,

I like your remix, really like the intro that was probably my fav part of your rmx.. has a lot of energy, great synth work for it.

The vocals did feel a bit strange to me, but not too off, listenable.

All in all nice work. Keep it up bud.

Glad i convinced you to do a rmx last min!!

All the best,
Ross B

Of course not heh, that's what the competition is for probably - everyone has different ideas

I initially thought of what kind of sound they might be after when I started the remix... Seeing DJ Spoke is from Switzerland, a country that has quite a lot of producers that also are close by the German club sound, I decided to go that way.

Good remix overall, though as Nomen said, it kind of lacks a 'hook' somewhere in the track. I found it difficult to really grasp some kind of main section in the track. Solid production, though it has some small flaws I think. Nonetheless, some good work for your conto

Great tune I love the structure you have created and all, only thing I have to complain about is the mastering, everyone seems to be saying its great... but it�s not your best that�s for sure

listening to your previous tracks and comparing to this, this seem to be much more 'flat' and the levels just seem much higher/clashy then the usual 'distinct' type sounds you produce.

nevertheless well put together!

I personally liked this tune, although I personally would find it hard to play live. this would definitely find a good place in my promo cd's as it is something that friends of mine would like to listen to on the way to see a dj play live..but i think its lacking the 'moving' energy to make it a real club hit.

honestly though, Alan has soem great productions, like his version of ibiza sun. great stuff!

I think that although this is not your best work, its very solid. kudo's man!

listening:

some acid like melodic sound intro, which dives into a kick.. sounds alright.. kinda boring transition to the clap though imo..

nice transition stuff with the kickdrum, the intro vocal chants are too deep in the mix, and sounds a bit out of place..

break:

an additional melody is added, and some vocal chants.. which leads into a fading dry lead sound and a kick which goes to a filter..

the vocal breath doesnt sound especially in place, and still the vocals are too deep in the mix.. and the bass doesnt have all that power, and i cant even hear at all what she is saying, not that it matters

i like the sound of the piano like sound, one note is too far down for me though.. overall the track sounds more than a dub than a vocal mix, as the vocals arent dominating the mix, as i think they should..

overall, average production, with nothing special added to it..

Sup Alan

When i do a review...i tend not to give a shit of whats said about the track...or read others replies. I listen to the track...not what im gunna critize about.

Overall the mix and breakdown is superb...didnt hear anything wrong with it.

Over all i like how u used melodic atmospheres in here alot...its nice...to hear change .

The melody sounds pretty tight...cant re-call me hearing it somewhere else. So thats big points.

Although im into the typical darker/deeper/harder stuff...its nice hearing ur tracks for a change alan

Keep up the work...and keep positive...8.5/10

Really good track. I don't know how that other dude beat you out. This is a track that you can feel for sure! I would defaintly rank it up there easily with tracks such as "When The Rush Comes."

Posted by DjLiMZ. on Nov-21-2005 16:48:

Really nice punchy kick, the acid sounds fit really well vocals are very sexy infact they sound awesome :P. The synths are soo fucking awesome together with that bell type sounds gives me goosebumps would have prefered it if it carried on a bit longer. Cant really fault this tune everything is pretty solid awesome work

pumpin bassline!!

likin it

Posted by EliPsE on Nov-22-2005 10:07:

ah finally time to review.
I love how the track starts off with the nice acid type lines.
btw: this song reminds of Yahel for some reason

The small vocal samples i thought were used well
The breakdown is ok, kinda simple, after this I didn't like all the vocals being used, but thought the piano was nice and not too much.
Track was average nothing really crazy.
Production was tight
I wouldn't mind a dub of this

GJ tho Alan

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm glad you all enjoyed the track so much.

Posted by LucasYork on Dec-14-2005 05:58:

ahh see I actually dont like that break down that much!! its not too bad, but i really like the vocals after it! hahahaha

how we are all different! :P:P luv this remix, tho never heard any original or remixes :|

Atmosphere!

What an intro, gives it a good scker punch of rave to the track!
I haven't heard stuff like this in like 3 years. The highhat entrance was well introduced with the eq's being tweaked am I correct? Great melody chord progresion. This track is just traveling along with energy.
Great club banger for undergrounds raves and snazzy cheesy high-class social clubs. Alan-M, you always have awesome work, keep the choonage coming my friend.

Posted by alanzo on Dec-14-2005 14:07:

THanks for the comments and kind words Lucas and Kris.
