Hmm, I may take a crack at this with the Octatrack but that is some ugly wallpaper music. The first image it creates in my mind is wandering around a half-empty supermarket - they always seem to be playing lightweight pop music like this while I am trying to choose a new toothbrush or find the best deal of pasta sauce.

It’s pretty apparent why they want people to attempt remixing this song.
They should just post “Someone please help. We’ll give you all this stuff.” with a picture of an A&R guy on his knees in tears.

Whooo!
Not good.
It’s not good.

bummer the vocals are so stepped on to begin with and the rhythm section is compile set too.

That’s terrible. it sounds like it has been brickwall limited to death.

I would try but the beatport site itself seems dodgy.

dimi3 · 2014-06-06T04:43:23.000Z

They give you all their track predefined as full song tracks. they even give you a live layout. It is all in the horizontal format. you don’t fire sounds you play the tracks. Personally if you ask me to remix give me the melody and bassline as a MIDI track and vocals dry front man and back-up separate. Yeah I could work with what they can but I feel limited and directed…

my impression of the song:

some 15 yr old girls waving their skinny as fuck arms in the air beggin for attention in an overpriced night club to a half empty dancefloor filled with … aaah why would i bother ?

make this a marketing strategy for less than 2000 bucks and a lot of commotion … but a second AR would be okay …

what are the terms regarding production royalties in case Virgin takes a winning mix… ?

by the way, it has been a long time since i heard such a shitty, soul less and amateuristic piece of crap like this!

Sadly they happen to come one 10-20 a week you just have never been subjected to them! scary to think lots of people like it!

William_WiLD · 2014-06-06T07:34:33.000Z

Listening the original, no way for me. i see a kind of Chicken Lips, Metro Area or Kevin Yost direction remix should work, but i’m pretty sure something like that not won… hahaha… So no way X1000

DR_Strangeknob · 2014-06-06T07:51:30.000Z

That song blows. Polish that turd if ya wanna guys.

J_C_Selector · 2014-06-08T10:14:35.000Z

So can anyone please tell me, do the files? contain any vocal samples (wav or whatever) ?

mistakem · 2014-06-10T01:48:38.000Z

I might be able to sample some single cycle wave and create a whole new track, don’t think that will cut it though, can’t work with it, song is trash…

bonkks · 2014-06-10T06:00:22.000Z

Wow, I was really thinking it couldn’t be that bad of a song maybe I’ll give it a try. Nope, I was wrong.

Rael · 2014-06-10T10:27:06.000Z

It is really horrific!
I think id prefer to save for 6 months doin slave labour rather than have to listen to that for 6 hours doing a remix!
That said 6 hours of hard mental labour isnt that much,
Whos knows

guga · 2014-06-10T11:22:39.000Z

…that’s what the main stream gives us; these are the people who are successful in the music biz because that’s what sells and that’s what the market wants
luckily, there’s not only this stuff out there, but it makes it hard to get a living with music …

edit: the remixes i’ve listened to on the page sound almost all the same…
