Well I'm sorry. I see music as an art form, something that touches you, that can change your life - not a way to get famous and make money. I wouldn't buy anything by any artist if I thought for one second that their track was released to "pay the bills". |

"Who's Jan Wayne?" :nervous:
"For that matter, why don't you ask him to do it?"
Seriously, though, I'd probably do it, just to try my hand at the style if nothing else. |

Yea, but what is going to allow you to pursue this art form if you don't have any money to survive on? I would argue that a person who truly loves the music will do everything they can to make it a lifelong career. This may involve sacrificing some of the finer artistic principles that he or she might value in order to create opportunities to express themselves in the future. |

True, money = synths/hardware :)
I would just make the remix in my own style. |

I would say that you should take the offer, make a remix under a different nickname, and hope for the best. This isn't something that happens every day !! |
That's what I'd do. Although I'd have a helluva time coming up with a name that suits me that isn't DC76 :haha: |

The fact that ferry corsten wrote mixed and produced Doop- 'Doop' back in the early 90s is testament to that.....

He didn't, that was Ferry Ridderhof ;)
But yeah, do it under another name. |

i'd also try introduce certain elements of my style into the cheesey mix just to really up those cheese loving bastards. :) |

Would you have even heard or Armand van helden if it wasnt for his mix of Tori Amos 'professional widow'? I doubt it. That was an awesome remix of an unknown commercially tune (to pick a random example) and look what happened after it blew up. |
totally agree on your post but these 2 things tho. i thought armand was already pretty known with Witchdoktor and Funk Phenonemon(sp?). |
