Also featuring...

the thrillseekers feat. sheryl deane - synaesthesia (fly away)

Just means an artiest (usually a vocalist) is being featured in a song... pretty self-explanatory.

I've heard that dub usually means no or fewer vocals as well.

Also there is the presents....

mr. x pres. mr. y - song (remix)

I think that is to "introduce" a new artist to the scene... sometimes it's the same artists introducing their new alias. Dance music has too many "quirks".


Also, is there actually a difference between remix and remake?

Yeah, remakes are usually done by the original artist to "update" the track. Sometimes other people will do the remakes and add various things to it.

Mix: YOu use the original track and change the arrangement of the track, maybe add new parts. Only happens when the mixer works with the original artist or is in the original 12"?

Remix: Same as mix, except you make your own sound and make it sound like a new track.

Remake: You take an old track and make it again, usually done by the original artist.

Dub: A mix of the song with no vocals or very little vocals in it.

I could be wrong about some, but that's what I think...

no vocals?

hmm

what about Tekara ft. Lucy Cotter - Breathe in You (Tekara's M&M Dub)?

I agree bro. So far this seems to all fit..but to answer the last part of my question...
If I wanted to (hypothetically, of course) launch a new choon and wanted attention could I call it "title of track here" (Dream Version) as opposed to original cut. Oh...cut..thats another isnt it? To have a "version" might mean that there is already another version available but couldn't it be a marketing ploy? I know when I see some unknown song with the words (Gabriel & Dresden Remix) I automatically download the remix. Like with Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One...have you heard the original??
But the Metro Mix is sweet! Thus...couldnt you just make a song and insert "the blah blah Remix hashed version"

As far as i recall.. Theres..

1: DJ Jam X Joins B.I.A.(Tom Wax)<----could be the same as & or "and"
2: DJ Neo Versus Blutonium Boy<-----Collaboration work or Synergy
3: Avalon Meets Mythos N' DJ Cosmo<----Meetings?
5: Smith & Pledger<----Everyone Should Know This
6: 56K Featuring Bejay<----could be the vocalist of the track or another producer..mostly featuring vocalist.

For Mixing and other types
1: Remix, Re-Vised, Reconstruction, Remake<--almost all the same
2: Dub Mix<---kinda similar to Instrumental Mix, commonly used on typical house tracks. Will not see it in hard-trax
3: Vox, Non-Vox <----something like vocals but its more too rap or carzy people talking trash on the microphone
4: Instrumental Mix<---some trax can be different..some can be the same as the original accept no vocals or sometimes the track has no vocal even has instrumental mix.
5: Club Mix<----its like just another mix from the producer himself. Could be different from the original..sometimes only a little effort is done.
6: Airplay Cut, Album Mix, Radio Edit,<----very very short version of the extended version or original version. Its for public radios actually not suitable for mixing
7: Bootleg Mix, Whitelable mix<---hahah i think you guys shld know this one Clue: not very original

I my experience, DUB has had various parts (vocals, bass, hats, etc.) removed and/or replaced, creating a less intense "overlay" Mix. Well with dub's, you find a good track to go with it, and it fills in the "missing" sounds of the dub mix, making it sound more like a remix than just two well-matched records. I sometimes use them as overlays/lead-ins over the active song before switching to the orig. mix and completeing the transition.

Just my personal experience, though, as many of you mentioned, there are many exceptions. The term is used loosely.

DUBs are found in hard tracks, though not as often as house tracks.

I didn't read through this thread, i only looked at the creators post.. so here it goes.

Remix - someones reinterpretation of the track, a producer taking someone else's track and modifying it to his own likes.

Dub - remix of a track that originally had vocals.. Dub has vocals too, but very little and it's usually the 'main' vocal or sometimes the chorus

Radio Edit - same as the original track, however this one is much shorter for the listening purposes and the rotation purposes on the radio

Version - refers to different versions of the same track.. sometimes a producer releases a track and then happens to do some modification after it has already been released.. then he calls is Version 2.. or some other stupid name

Vs. - when 2 or more producers get together and put their ideas together to remix a track, or maybe to even create a new track altogether

Hope this helps you.

Er... yea i know whatcha mean.. Those tracks like Dave 202 & Phil Green, Dumonde and Cosmic Gate. Ok i amit they has dub mixes, But in my opinion if ya try listening to hardstyle/Uk hardhouse or even gabber and hardcore which are really hard. I don't think they have any. But they do have some "dubbish" parts in their tracks

Remix - Someone elses version of the song, usualy containing the original melody and/or harmonies and chord structures, but often using different sounds/synths.

edit/re-edit/rework - taking a song and leaving certain aspects of it EXACTLY the same (usually the melody) while making minor changes to the bassline, percussion, and structure to more suit the artists person style (IE PvD)

vs. - when two producers who don't usually work together collaborate OR a bootleg mix of two songs mixed together to create one. It's pretty easy to tell, as the former can result in amazing things (IE PvD vs. Second Sun - Crush, and Scott Bond vs. Solar Stone - The 3rd Earth) and the latter almost always results in a shitty tune (IE Delerium vs. PvD - Silent Angel)
