"Autumn Lights" (Jay Selway & Magnus Remix)

Just got this from beatport. Wouldn't have thought it possible, but they have turned this into an absolute STOMPER. That previously sedate acid melody is now a whirling head fuck.

Awesome, just awesome. This is exactly what a remix should be like; something totally different, yet still using all the original parts. Too many producers these days remixing by making completely new tracks then throwing a few parts from the original on top.

No, it's not. A remix is taking the components from the original song and modifying, twisting, reversing, looping, filtering, stretching, equalising or otherwise changing them and using them to create something new, different and hopefully good. A couple of new elements can be added tastefully.

On the other hand, making an original song from scratch and then throwing a few bars of the breakdown from the song you were "remixing" over the top defeats the purpose of the whole process.

yeah its great stuff

Good stuff. Up on beatport now.

Will get it later for sure.

Glad you guys like it

Magnus and I are really happy with it.

Definitely agree with the OP about that acid line

303 + Izotope Trash + Waves L2 = Fun.

It's funny, beatport and audiojelly are both advertising it as "exclusive".

That's a really interesting way actually, call me a n00b for remixing (w/e) but i never really looked at it like that.
Unless i'm completely naive to what actually happens when you remix?
I don't know.

Top marks for the remix though

good stuff again Jay & Magnus

agree, great remix of an even great track

this should have been in the original package
great stuff!

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support!

Brilliant remix, loving what's been done to the track.

That's just your opinion, yet a common one, what a remix is. There are no absolute rules for making a remix. It's just what people think a remix should sound like. Some people prefer remixes very different to the original and some prefer remixes only a slightly tweaked, more similar to the original.

A remix is purely the remixers' vision of the remixed track, no matter whether the resulted track is 99.9% the same than the original or 99.9% different with only a fracture of a second bit used from it. Often the remixes do sound nothing like the original, like most dub or instrumental mixes of poppy tracks are but does that really matter if the "remix" is good?

I can see your point, but people would also moan if producers put out new tunes as their own, if they had robbed other peoples melodies etc.

I think it is better that even the most extreem of remixes still overtly credit the original producer personally

Great remix

I wasn't commenting on whether or not the remix "sounds" like the original - some of my favourite remixes are so completely different to their sources that they sound original . I was only saying that a remix should predominantly use the sounds created in the production of the original song; otherwise what is the point of remixing?

it all comes down to a matter of taste. some people prefer the remixes to stay true to the orginal. others prefer complete makeovers. i prefer something inbetween

Just picked this up today, nice remix.

Again...I said nothing about staying true to the original, only that the derivative should be made up of parts from the original rather than completely new elements.

Magnus is about to play on Christopher Lawrence's radio show, Rush Hour.
