Tiesto's mix of Southern Sun is good no matter where it is on the top 40. Just remember where you heard it first...

The Tiesto mix was quite good for a while but its getting overplayed,
i have started to like the Gabriel & Dresden remix better, the bassline
is huge.

There's no question that it's going to be looked on as being shite by a certain elitist group of people in the scene, but I'd like to think that most people here will be able to continue liking or disliking the track on it's own merits, not merely because it is or isn't getting mainstream airplay.

I think Southern Sun was one of the better tracks of the year, I liked Rapture, and I also liked the Sound of Goodbye...so what if a some lucky mainstream radio/club-goers are finally getting a chance to hear the tunes? To my way of thinking that mainstream acceptance shouldn't change my opinion on it at all...

I'm not sure SS will become too mainstream, I don't think it's upbeat enough. Rapture - Iio possessed that catchy "la, la, la, la, la di da..." even though its still melancholy.

Has anyone ever heard Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Solar Stone Chillout remix)? That's like the best one there is out there.

I believe that the Tiesto remix of Southern Sun is actually pretty good... I like the original as well! Call me an odd ball, but I think that it was a great song! It might be a bit heavy on the lyrics, but I think that is the heart and soul of the song. The synth and beat is pretty simple, but the overlay behind the words is what makes it such a nice song. It might not be the most unique or individual, but it sounds nice!

The Solar Stone mix *is* really top notch as well.

If you like that I recommend the "F2F Chill Mix" of Dust.wav as well...good stuff....

That's what I was thinking. In the time since Tiesto spun this track at DD i've played and so has he. I've heard it way too many times and I dont really care for it that much now. There sure was a lot of hype though when it first came out.

it would be cool if songs got mainstream play before they got trite, (yes i knoe it would get old faster) but like i would have loved to hear southern sun played way back when at clubs before the thousandth time i heard it
