What rejected remix was turned into 'Tranquility Base - Razorfish'?
Pulled from the Anjunabeats new site (www.anjunabeats.com) this interesting info on one of my fave tracks Tranqulity Base - Razorfish
"
Tranquility Base was started as a side project to enable us to release a remix which was rejected. We’d tried to make a certain record sound a little cooler than it did, and we thought we’d succeeded. Unfortunately, the A&R man (who shall remain clueless) disagreed, describing our mix as “crap”. Secretly we were delighted, as a rejected remix is a free track for us, so we changed the riff and put it out under a pseudonym. It remains our favourite production - somehow we made a perfect sounding record - and with the magic words “progressive mix” on the sleeve we started picking up plays from virtually every major DJ we’d ever heard of, including Paul van Dyk, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Dave Pearce, and even Sasha.
Incidentally, as if to prove the idiocy of the A&R man in question, when we sent him the finished version he rang back straight away, screaming “I love this new track you’ve done - don’t sign it to anyone until you talk to me!”
We did neither.

so what do people think it was? I have NO idea

It must be Tilt - Invisible, but that's an interesting story nevertheless.
Razorfish is a good song although I'm surprised it's so immensly popular. Still, quality stuff.
(Invisible is better)

As I said, "I'm surprised it's so immensly popular."
And to the above poster, if they say Sasha played it, maybe he did? How would you know anyway?

Ya I know...there's no possible way you would know whether Sasha played it or not.
He played Tilt's stuff, and if this is supposedly a remix of Invisible, then it's very possible.
Invisible rocks, btw.
edit actually, this doesn't sound like something Sasha would play. But hey, you never really know for sure
