I hear ya mate. TCM can be kinda wild with their chunes so I was thinkin that it'd be nice to hear a softer side of 'em. And prech the tech advice, I'll prolly go to do that when I go to remix the other song they offered the stems of. May also completely swap out my bass stuff too for something better. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

That's cool mate. This was my first 'loop showcase' and it came from one set of drum loops I made last spring. When I was uploading them I go back n play 'em for quality purposes and when I got to 5 & 6 it suddenly dawned on me that it reminded me of that one Chem Bros song. So afterwards I set out to make the mix you hear now. And I plan on reworking this sometime in the future. Anyways, glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that Steve. Yeah, I'm finding that the more I do remixes the better they get due to how I'm experimenting with different ideas now. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks mate, the start (bass) is what led me to focus on this version of the remix more. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I dunno what this is exactly (kind of it's own beast). As for the bass, they're all loops that I've got loaded on here in my loops section (feel free to check 'em out). Used 2 sets and I don't recall arpegin any of 'em. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, those notes were done to echo the stylings of Snooze Button (you'll see what I mean whenever ya check it out). Kinda like I'm trying to capture this 'sleeping style' with these (either making a new genre or just putting my spin on fusing existing genres like trance, ambient, and tech-house). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. As for the missing element could it be how this track lacks any form of pad? I'm thinkin it's either that or the drums could be a little stronger. Eh, I dunno, at any rate. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. I was thinkin that this had that vibe to it so that's where the idea for the remix name came from. This is a continuation of what I did with the Crystal Method remix I did (though more original sided here). Those familiar sounds at the end were from the original mix, unedited (save for the volume drop on the last ones to make the track fade out). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. I think the reason this track works so well is that mix of styles (along with the fact that none of this was planned, with the loops being used together like that). Glad ya liked it. Later on!

Thanks mate, yeah, of all my remixes I'm least satisfied with this one. I mean, the original is so great and all. At any rate, glad ya dug it. Later on!

That's cool mate. I had been wanting to use those (the main drums) for a hot minute and when I paired 'em with the primary bass on this (the Impulse Power loops) they just seemed to fit perfectly. The rest of the drums were added to give 'em some extra dimension. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Cool deal mate. Yeah, the name on this was something that I had decided upon back when I first started mixing it ages ago. And it's because of the way the synths on this reminded me of fire trucks, alarms, and such. As for now, I think this track is as done as it's gonna get. Sah sent me the first few loops and then the project kinda stalled. At any rate, I'm glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, that's what I was wanting to focus on in this track (the bassline). Kinda like my way of showing people how I break down a song when I hear it (the certain parts that just pop out). I was also thinkin that it'd be a cool spot for the dancers & glostikrs to break it down. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, that's what makes 'em so appealing and so much fun. When I first started doin 'em I would try to do 'em in the classic sense (as if remixed on a turntable). Didn't really add anything to the tracks beyond effects, but this time I wanted to try my hand at pairing my style/stuff with theirs. And I think I like that better than the other method. At any rate, glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. If you liked the vocals and such then go out and get the album (Divided By Night) and it'll have an insert that has a link to where you can get the stems to 2 of their songs. Later on!

Sorry about the delay (school stuff). Thanks mate. Yeah, I'm gonna haveta go back n iron this one out a little (mainly due to my dislike of the current bass I added). Vocally, I didn't touch them up at all (beyond volume tweeks for fades). Placement was done to give them a separate feel, though I'll keep my ear open for spots that are horribly outta place when I re-edit this. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sorry about the delay (school stuff). Yeah, wasn't there a remix competition for 'Come Back Clean' done by Beatport.com earlier this year? I didn't participate, because I think it's bogus that they charge for the samples used in the comp.
As for the album and their stem offer I made mention of that in the forums right after I got the album (dunno how many people went for it though). I also have it mentioned in my "Listening To Right Now" part of my profile.
As for the vocals, I thought the same thing (same person singin), but actually it's someone different (Stephanie King Warfield sings on here, while Emily Haines sang for Come Back Clean).
As for this mix, I wanted to try something new and do a remix that had synths and stuff not done on the original (took it even further on my remix of Eshar's Still Tribal). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. Yeah, I think that's what my problem was when I made that comment (hours & hours of mixing leaves one's ears kinda funky). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sorry for the delay (school stuff). Haha, thanks. I dunno if I would call this my best work, but it does mark a first for me (what with the Nap Time combination). So I'm def heading in the right direction. Thanks for the time & words. Lates!

Ya know what, I believe it was, because this is the only track that I've done specifically intended for collaborations with Guitarists. Though it might've also been for Mountain Wind (since the stylings of the pads kinda lend themselves to go good with rock stuff). Anyways, how'd that new equip turn out workin for ya and I'm glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sorry bout the delay (school stuff). Yeah, this was one of those where I was trying to capture the essence of EDM using classic elements (the bass & simple drum change up, literally equalling 1+2). Truth be told, I only aim for specific genres half of the time, the rest is just experimentation. Glad ya dug it. Lates!

Sorry about the delay (school stuff). Yeah, I think of live sets alot when I go to make loops and also when I'm mixin stuff. I don't just look at a track from a 'stand alone' perspective. I try to think of it in terms of what's coming after and what's coming after that or the stuff before it. I try to make my loops to where they could be used repeatedly throughout one major set (at the 15 second mark or 28 minutes in). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that man. Yeah, this track was in and of itself another experiment. Not necessarily a new one, but I thought mid-mixing 'why not go for 2 bass channels instead of having leads or pads?'. Haven't really messed with that approach since late 07 with And Then There Was. The second part came with the drums where I tried fusing the stylings of both house & breaks/d&b. The vocals were added at the end just to beef it up and to show the nay sayers that they could be used. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sorry for the delay (school stuff). Thanks mate and I hear ya. Like I was just tellin Trav, I also feel that this track could use a lil somethin more. And as I was also tellin him I've been thinkin about goin back n reworkin this one to give it more umph. Feel free to mess with this one if ya want. Later on!

Sorry for the delay (school stuff). Yeah, that's what I was thinkin too. The track needs somethin, ya know. I was recently thinkin about revampin this track to throw in some stuff (like vinyl stops and such). And if ya want down on either, lemme know. Y'know we're ace mate. Lates!
