Mylo turns down U2

this guy in my opinion is the hottest producer in edm right now...his style is awesome...productions like drop the pressure, destroy rock and roll, in your arms are amazing...
here's the thing, i knew he was big but not so big to turn down a u2 remix request...
watch out for this guy
btw, his EM is out of this world

read it for yourself:

Well he's got to do what he's got to do. Since he said he is really busy, it's best not to commit to another remix, even if it is for U2. The last thing he wants is to say yes and end up making a shitty remix because he had to rush to meet a deadline.

bold. not quite as bold as turning down depeche mode or something but bold..


i cant wait for his next single.

i agree with you, but im still impress...
i would have think that a young producer would do whatever is in his hands to remix something like U2

True, but there is probably a good reason why he turned them down. Perhaps he has obligations to fulfill for his record label, he probably wouldn't want to piss them off.

if they want it so badly they'll ask him again, or offer more money.

he's probably busy.

i'm sure U2 would understand, it's only business.

Maybe he just doesnt wanna fail to deliver a good remix?

Anyway, I dont know who's Mylo.

It could have been that the contract contained certain requirements mylo did not want to follow...


many remix contracts have specific song requirements...

why do u think primal scream barely ever gets to remix anyone...

cuz no one will know what the fuck will happen to their song...

most remixes are made to order in a sense..

well you should listen to his EM from saturday and find out who this guy is because you're going to need that information in the future hahahaha

why are you lot debating why he didnt do the remix, when the answer is in the article linked in the first post?

"I've given up on remixes. It's been getting out of control.

"I don't have time any more. I was coming home with a deadline hanging over my head to do remixes and I needed a couple of days off.

"U2 wanted me to work on their song CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS, which is a brilliant song which lends itself quite well to an electronic remix. I was gutted, but I had to turn them down.

"My main focus is on my live shows and recording new material."

boooo, you should have let the thread get to 10 pages, then posted that .

To be honest I'm glad, after his version of Somebody Told Me by The Killers.

agree but it wasnt only that...basically we were arguing also, how a young producer on the rise turns down an opportunity like remixing U2...

Because it "could" end up making, or breaking his career...

I don't care if he was running out of time or if he's not focusing anymore on remixes. Turning down U2 for a remix is just a plain idiotic move if you want your name to sound everywhere...and no, it is not selling out because we have seen in the past how there have been many many great remixes for the band.

I admire Mylo a lot and I believe his productions are mint, but this is a very dumb move IMO.

and now we see the difference between someone who is dedicated to make music wholeheartedly and someone who wants to make music for money and fame.

I doubt it. He's already sold 100,000 albums on Breastfed, and he's just moved to Sony who are re-releasing the album with proper marketing. Not to mention having the dance press and critics firmly behind him. Whether Mylo remixes U2 or not won't break his career, and after 15 years I doubt another U2 remix will make anyone's career.

remixing U2 could definately change your career, so I do not know what you are saying.

I'd turn down remixing U2, they're shit

Making a U2 remix, like I said before, is far from selling out. It takes skill to make a GOOD remix. I've heard completely shit remixes for the band, just like I've heard amazing ones. And if you can gain some reputation in the process, well so be it...it doesn't mean you're in it for the money or selling out.
