Tracks that HAVE to be pitched up...

Ever listen to a track and wonder why the producer didn't speed it up?

One track I ALWAYS pitch up (and dramatically) is Yellow Blackbird - Superfly (Andy Moor Remix). 127 is just too slow for that track!

So what're some of your tracks you pitch or wish were pitched up more?

Arksun - Arisen (Airbase pres Parc remix).

i usually have a prob with tracks being too fast. i like it when it when a tune is given room to breathe and doesnt sound forced. which is why i dont dig alot of todays trance

I completely agree. Here in Australia, clubs seem to be smitten with the idea that faster music must somehow mean better music, and I'm personally getting pretty tired of it.

Ferry Corsten - rock ya body rock

and

Tiesto - traffic

Porno - Music Power & Trentemoller - Killer Kat

Um it's not really trance but it's a track called "Mercy Follows" by this producer named Ryan Farish. I like some of his tracks, esp on his first album (although some are WAY too sappy/new agey, esp on his second album, they remind me of Yanni). The melody on that one is nice, but the percussion and bassline is totally out of sync and should be much faster than it is. It's like it's screaming to be a dance track, but the guy couldn't decide if he wanted it to be some really relaxing track or one you can dance to. It's like maybe 115 BPM or so (dunno for sure) but it should be at least 125. The guy kind of follows Robert Mile's formula on his early music (pianos and dance beats basically) but he can't really make good percussion. Think he should stick to just playing the piano, cause he knows melody. He's worse than most amateur trance producers at creating beats/percussion. Some of his music is pretty cringe worthy...

Orgine - Sanctuary (Lemon8 Remix)

that's only 137 or so originally.. doesn't sound too bad at that tempo. he parc remix of love theme dusk on the other hand is ridiculously slow considering the style it's in.. something like 130


slusnik luna vs peter lowland - last train to transcentral.. think that's about 135 & i don't think i've ever even played this at any less than +5, find it fits much better with psy-ish stuff in the early 140s

armins remix of iio - "rapture" sometimes you felt that it was going to grind to a halt at any moment on its own accord unless you pitched it up a tiny bit

straight of the bat.
kim sanders - food for thought (humate dub)
Ofra haza - love song (Mike & Zigi Remix)

the tiesto mix of klea - "tic toc". always felt it had to be over atleast +6 else it sounded way too pedestrian

Ti�sto mix? You must have a mislabeled mp3 as to my knowledge he has never remixed the track. There's Magik Muzik Remix but Ti�sto has nothing to do with it.

REMIX!

nah no mp3 for me, i have it on incentive 12".
it says on the sleave magik musik mix with "big thankyou to tiesto" always assumed tiestos alter ego was magik musik seing as its one of his labels hes involved with as far as i know. appologies if wrong cos im not too savvy with all things tiesto cos hes not really my cup of tea apart from that track which apparently isnt him and his track suburban train. so appologies where due

just about every track in my inventory. ranging from +2% to +6%

Alrighty. Fair enough.

Magik Muzik isn't an alias of Ti�sto but of Geert Huinink & Alco Lammers aka Dawnseekers/Photon Project/.. Huinink has been involved with several Ti�sto tracks over the years though.

As for the thread subject.. i used to pitch up alot of the tracks i played to get to feel the energy better but that was about a decade ago.... nowadays i tend to pitch more tracks down than up as the energy isn't what i'm after in music anymore.

I guess one track i tend to pitch up every single time i use it somewhere, is Infusion - Legacy (Junkie XL Mix). It's too slow to fit in about anywhere as it is.

Tom Pooks - Pablo Assan�s
Gabriel Ananda - Doppelwhipper

Royksopp - What else is there? (Thin White Duke Remix)

ahh, cooly cool. you learn something every day

Aquanuts - Deep Sea(Martin Eyerer Mix)
Romanthony - Never Fuck
Sonny Dare - The Escape <------ killer track btw

I think pretty much every track mentioned so far is too fast. I like them at 125-130. Brings out the rhythm.

haha, how bizarre. my housemate played this track downstairs about 10 minutes ago, and i was thinking it would be a good candidate for this thread
