PVD - Today [DJMaytag's Dreamy Dub Mix]

Hey all,

I wanted to post something for the locals, as I'd like to get this out as soon as I hear one way or the other from PVD and/or his management about their take on this remix I've made. I've got a few key DJ's I want to get this to, along with anyone in the ATL/SE scene.

PVD - Today [DJMaytag's Dreamy Dub Mix]

"Today" is one of my favorite PVD tracks ever, a really obscure one at that! I tried to spruce it up for the floors yet retaining the feel and mood of the original, since it's a meaningful track in PVD's eyes:

quote:
"[Today] is one section of a sort of trilogy called 'Looking For Me',", says the fiery eyed Paul Van Dyk. "It's a track in three phases, based on the way my feelings changed while a girlfriend of mine was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis."

"The first bit is about when I first heard about her illness, so that's really sad. The second, which is the bit on your CD, is called 'The Dream'. It came about when I was in New York soon afterwards. A lot of the time I was on my own, just thinking about her the whole time."

"At night, I was looking out of the window a lot, watching the stars and thinking - about my friend, about life in general, what can happen to you and how you just have to deal with it. So it's very dreamy and quite slow - only 126 BPM."

This is from the booklet that came with the CD I bought eons ago (1994), Trance Europe Express 2. It's also kinda funny to see 126 BPM listed as quite slow, as 145-160 was the norm for most trance back then..

Not to piss all over the original intent and meaning behind the original, I kept it as dreamy as possible, making it nice and trippy. As always with me, there's a nice little tweaky acid synthline (in the background) and a ripping 303 bassline to keep it grooving.
