Hey All, since 1999 I have been an avid reader of these forums, but i was not until a couple days ago did i finally register. It took my lazy ass almost 6 years but i am finally a member. My taste in music has matured over the years into a variety of genres. I used to listen to hard, epic, and psy trance when i first got into the scene. Now my taste falls in the more progressive house/trance area and some tech/trance as well. Ok, enough talk from me, here is my topic discussion >>>

Well I finally persuaded my buddy to play 2 of my current favorite songs at a club in Hartford, CT last night and I have to say it sounds way better in that type of atmosphere withpeople and alcohol (The two songs were Ferry Corsten & Shelly Harland - Holding on (Luke Chable's Big Room Mix) and Rachel Starr - Till There Was You (Gabriel & Dresden's 12 Step Program Remix). Here are the 2 songs with 2 mixes each and my opinions >>>
----------------------------------------------------------

Ferry Corsten & Shelly Harland - Holding on (Luke Chable's Big Room Mix)

- Luke Chable never fails, and this remix is no exception. I Love the bassline and the overall groove of the tune. It definitely makes you wanna dance and it certainly worked at the club when people stormed the dancefloor after hearing a glimpse of the vocals.

Ferry Corsten & Shelly Harland - Holding on (Above & Beyond Remix)

- Not to shabby, but more on the trancier/uplifting side. I like A&B's interpretation but it holds no ground to Chable's masterpiece.



Rachel Starr - Till There Was You (John Creamer & Stephane K club mix)

- Nice. I have heard alot of praise for this remix on the forums and i can certainly see why. However it sounds a bit sparse. Very little layers, not to much of a groove and a bit too progressive for my taste.


Rachel Starr - Till There Was You (Gabriel & Dresden's 12 Step Program Remix)

- Hearing this on the dancefloor blew my mind. No one i went with has heard this song but the baseline populated the floor right away. Not since G&D's remix of the Engine Room - A perfect lie, have i appreciated a track like this one. Very Danceable, grooving baseline and amazing remix in my book. I will try to get pictures online for the middle part of this song, people were going insane on the floor and i spilled booze all over myself

--------------------------------------------------------------

Well these are my opinions on these tracks. Remember, opinions. I would like to hear you comments on the comparisons of these mixes, just so i can identify my taste in EDM with the taste of others.

Thanks,

the original of Holding On is probably my favorite. Cause its different. The other mixes try to turn it into some epic stormer. And the vocals don't fit that roll at all... And the song looses all of its meaning.

anyway 99.9999% of music sounds much better in a "club" envirnment.


i havnt heard the creamer remix, but im sure its really good, they dont have many bad productions. Although i didnt like their newest track the sun is rising or something...?
