Ok, now, this is something that`s bugging me a bit. I had a lot of people asking to do remixes for DB records. Now the problem I have is that these days, records are full of remixes, and these remixes never bear even a slight resemblance to the original track they are taken from. For the most part they are just original tracks, with some tiny and obscure hint of the original.
My opinion is, if you are gonna do an original track, then do and original track, don`t try and hide it under the guise of a remix.
And if a remix is done, then how about actually remixing, you know, using some of the parts of the original in a recognisable, but intelligent way.
Any other opinions?
A good example of a prefectly executed remix for me would be, the Jark Prongo, and Laidback Luke remixes of salt and peppers "Push It", and the Hardfloor Remix of New Orders Blue Monday.
