I like the percs in the beginning, less is more
Rest of the track is nice to, but except for some structural differences and a small piano melody this is a remake of the original. You should listen to the live album version of the original by ( Laurent Garnier with Bugge Wesseltoft), so you can hear there's a whole lot more you can do with the piano for this track.

This is very nicely done, good work. Wasn't a fan of the Knight/Funkagenda version but this is way better

I haven't heard the live album version, may look into it. I was going to take the sax out of the Knight/Funkagenda version, or even imitate it with a synth but I decided to keep it a little more simple. I will still be adding improvements to this one however. For example, one of the first percs to be reintroduced after the intro seems out of place and I also want the synth to sound a touch different so I may layer another over the top. I might also end up adding another open hat after the drop on offbeats one and three ie.

x---x---x---x--- Kick
--x-------x----- Open Hat

(EDIT: Would have used O's but they are too big!)

Thanks for the input people.

Also more comments about production whether good or bad are appreciated

cool tune.. liking the flute,

keep up the good work.

Lovely bass line.

Percs are nice if some sound a bit narrow.

Synths sound good.

A really good tune. Really enjoyed it. Surprisingly I haven't heard the original though I know I should have. Gonna check it out now as this remix was really good.

Good work

Holy Shit dude, cant believe you havent heard this track, make sure you listen to laurent garniers before the MK and FK cover version.

One of my all time fav's tracks.

I know, its one of those classic tracks that somehow I never came across and never got round to listening even though over the years I've heard it mentioned time and time again.

kre8 - one thing i noticed 1st time i heard this one of the keys are wrong. its the last key when the melody changes. i.e. melody change at 4:00 then at 4:07 and again at 4:15......(and many other places in the song.

I haven't gotta keyboard handy at the moment but can check later, unless you did this intentionally.

Ah so it is!! Thank you very much for pointing that out sir. There are so many things I need to do to this remix before I consider it worthy. Thank you everyone for your crits. Check back next time you see me reply to this thread, I will be updating for all those interested.

EDIT: It was two notes.. sorted now..
