-- threadsurrection: Remixes that sound nothing like the original
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

Age of Love - Age Of Love(Emmanuel Top Mix). Only the bassline is used, and it's warped/filtered so it's barely recognizable. In fact this remix is minimal, years before minimal became popular(1997 or so).

Yeah, and you're a fucking clown. The amount of great music that wouldn't exist if nobody made remixes is colossal. It's that simple.

kinda surprised nobody has mentioned Veracocha - Carte Blanche.

Wtf.

That's something that always kind of made me think. At what point is a production a remix of another track, or it's own track that 'samples' another tune.

That's a good point.

I think in the past 5 years a lot of producers have forgotten or disregarded the whole point of a remix.

There are a lot of remixes which are basically original, one-off tracks with the original vocal or drum beat slapped on top, which entirely defeats the purpose of the remix.

A great example of a remix for me is Fuzzy Hair's version of Mousse T's Right About Now, of which he has used almost every original element, twisted, mashed, filtered, chopped and distorted to produce something entirely reconisable as a derivative of the original, yet creative and unique at the same time.

Another example is his remix of that god-awful track Nasty Girls by Inaya Day, which he somehow made palatable.

To answer your question, the only real difference between sampling a remixing is:

a) Whether the "remixer" approaches the artist after using the sample to request clearance or whether the remixer is approached and asked to use a song for "remixing".

b) The amount of material used for the second track. If it's minimal, it's "sampled", but if it's a lot, it's a "remix". A "sampled" track generally only uses small snippets of one or two elements, i.e a bass line, vocal or drum loop, while a remix might use long sections of all elements of the track.

Simple. When the original artist pays the producer for his work, it's a remix. When the producer has to pay the original artist to use part of his track, it's a sample.

My vote will always be for the Rapid Eye mix of 'Der Schieber'

Good, but not a sniff of similarity to the original.

Britney Spears - Breathe on me (James Holden Vocal Remix)

Blockster - Grooveline - Matt darey remix. Awesome track

Age of Love - AoL(Mr Sam & Fred Baker mix) is also very different melodically from previous mixes, in addition to being in a different key.
Ayla - Singularity(Miss Thunderpussy Mix), only uses the Symmetry C melody, rather than combining the melodies from the Symmetry C and P mixes. Also changes the key.
Most post-1998 remixes of Cafe Del Mar use the elements of the 3-n-One mix, which most people think is the original.
Jam & Spoon - Stella(Tall Paul Remix)

They sound fairly similar. You might have a better case with the dub, but it's still fairly obvious that it's the same tune.
