hey, we're all entitled to our own opinions, and remixing dido is one of those things that will probably get you "flamed" by people on this board without them even hearing it.

this track was actually very hard to remix. the original tune clocks in 172 bpm and he had to time-stretch the vocals down to 140 bpm. we tried 135 but the vocals sounded like shit. so we had to go with the 140 bpm, which is the only thing in hindsight i wish i coulde change about this track is the tempo.

as for the "happy happy joy joy" that's just the song and the chords surrounding the chorus...any song that sings "and i will beeee your safety...ooh oh oh doon't leave home." with major chords around it is going to sound happy happy joy joy abba/erasure jumping bean music.

is it our best work? no. but am i still happy with the outcome? fuck yeah!

I thought that really uplifting buildup was the best part of the track, its nice to hear something really uplifting and 'happy happy joy joy' as dave puts it in a G&D production

dont listen to the elitists on this board

Not bad after listening to it for the first time. Very retro-disco sounding imo.

I dunno what you people are smoking but I love this track

I have weird taste sometimes though but I heard a vinyl rip yesterday and thought it kicked ass.

I think people just want G&D to top some of their best stuff, and why not.

It's better in here than out there.

I don't like this remix. Jurgen Vries has done better on his remake of: "Take my hand", which appeared on her first album as a bonus track.

Did you get to meet Dido? If you do, shag her....she's stupidly hot!

This remix is absolutely GASH!

Ive VERY rarely deleted mp3's due to the poorness of them but this was one!

I usually quite like g&d but this can just forget it.


I can say no more.

MPFSW005 Quiescent - Si Fu (OUT NOW)

after reading a good bit of negative comments, it took me a while to bother checking this out. to my pleasant surprise, i liked what i heard. i guess this is the opposite of overhyping that has taken place.... too much trash-talk against a decent remixing job. i think the overall sound is interesting and catchy and makes for a good tune. i agree stoned was better, but that wasn't g&d so who cares?

I absolutely love this tune. Not the typical G&D style but still very good.
8.5/10
