Icone - Meriva (Smekbar Remix)

Here's my remix of Icone's wonderful song Meriva. I hope you ppl think I made it justice. I find it a bit harder, and yet a little softer, than the orignal... hehe, hard to explain, give it a go..

Icone - Meriva (Smekbar's Remix) <- 128kbit (updated version)

wow man, sounding great! lovin' the bassline a bit extra
excellent job indeed. the only thing i have to "complain" about is: to much lighting fx imo. it sounds really neat, but i think theres to many of them.

otherwise, great remix! fint jobbat!

really well put remix...very well structured. the melody is amazin in this one. the usage of the piano is perfect. the strings are very emotional and deep. i really enjoyed this rmx, not much of a trance man myself, but this is great trance...

thnx everybody for your nice critics! I'm very happy to hear that you like it... but stay tuned, cos I'll be uploading an updated version of it later tonight, I'm just gonna give it a little more work Beware though, the updated version is, according to me, alot better! After the buildup's I felt that the song wasn't powerful enough so I've added some strings and choir's. The song now takes off alot better which is kinda nice... it's a little bit more emotionall too, which I think suits this song very well... but, I'll let you decide later tonight..

Cheers!

Hi mate

I didn't expect this to be so soon already! You got it set rather quickly there.

A soft and more dreamy remix (apart from the kick that is hehe) in my opinion. I do feel the main lead is a bit too high-pitched maybe... I was waiting to hear you try something different with the melodies in the tune, but it never came

Well, after all, it is a cool remix. Noone has taken the more 'dreamy' side yet. A big thanks

Regards,
LW

PS: can I keep the downlolad url to use on my own page? Lemme know

hehe, I worked nine hours straight for putting out that version Alot of fun, but had to take quite a few pauses to rest my ears
I've taken some of your critics into account in this new version LW, I use the melody both highpitched and lowpitched...

Cheers!

Most remixed original production from a TA? Has to be by now.

Another quality remix, you guys amaze me! The ONLY tiny bit I noticed that could be changed, is to have the last lightning effect during the first break fade all the way into the synth that comes in instead of cutting off a few seconds before it. Extremely minor I know lol, but it caught my attention for some reason.

Really well done Smekbar, the first time I've heard something from you. Looks like this is gonna be end up turning into a 2 vinyl release.

Thnx omegasox and arctic... nice to get such good feedback, this is my second remix ever... Have been producing for some time though... I'm sorry to say that I can't host it in 192kbit quality, don't have that kind of webspace atm... :/
