I have just found this song (better late than never, right?) on Morgan Page's May mix. It was the last track. I then promptly listened to the original and then went on youtube and found every remix I could find to the damn song. I never do this nor do I suggest anyone else putting up a blog entry like this (because they're annoying as hell) but here are all the remixes on youtube. Tell me which one you like the best. Or rate them. Or not. But if you say anything hit me up on the book or just here in the comments.

Original:
It's a cool video so watching it is probably a good use of your time. Especially if you're about to embark on the epic journey it will take to listen to all of these.


Here's the version I heard before the original on Morgan Page's mix. It's awesome enough to get me to do this whole damn post. It's all over the place, but incredible on all accounts. The builds are INSANE. Scope it yo.

Big trance sounds without the big track.

Pretty housey, but kinda leads to a "Night At The Roxbury" track that is less ridiculous
=> less fun. (scope the what is love video)

This is a huge track that would make me move. That being said, it sounds like a robot was short circuiting while he made it. I'm still going to download it though. The keys at 6:10 are incredible. Whoever Roboberget is is musically inclined.

Ugh. Everyone is doing the Russ Chimes thing but not as good. The melody they added at 3:20 is pretty sick but the rest of the song is bunk. It's just very calculated electro.

Dude changed the key and then decided that he would throw in sections that didn't fit the key he changed the vocals to. Why would you do that? It's really pretty great otherwise. I just dont like that clash.

How do you turn an emotionally charged jam into an innovative dancehall joint? Ask Sinden. Yes, he's that good live too. This is just professional.

Too long. But it is interesting. The psycho i've-got-a-knife noise at 5:04 is annoying but the gun cock that starts after that is sick. I'd never heard that used like that.

This one's a simple Classic proghouse joint that is simply done well. There are cool sounds throw in there. Nothing jumps out, but it's solid.

This is the only drum and bass remix I've heard of this track. So if that's your thing, get it. It's not my favorite but it is done right and kept simple. Which is a must for D&B i.m.o.

The tom is too loud. I'm sorry but that was enough to blow it for me. Even though 5:46 was SICK!

Like you would expect from the remix name, this is trying to be a Miami Bass jam. Hell, it may be a propper MB jam. But I wouldn't know since I got mucho hate for all the innovations coming out of miami. Sorry, I'm a hater until someone can pass along a good jam. I'll pass on this.

Wow the one commenter on this one really fucking hated it. It sounds like good I-made-this-in-my-basement Dubstep to me. I like it well enough. Worth a check if you like dub sounds.

Bananas. This isn't anything like the original. Personally, I really liked the original and this is a ruining of something good. But if you like things way way way remixed, this is your jam. It is very electro (and therefore kinda boring to me).

Another powerful electro jam that keeps the soul of the song but still gets pretty grimey. The beginning is weird and forced. It takes a little bit to get going. The ending is simple and nice. Me like.

This is my least favorite so far. The break has Nothing to do with the original. If you actually take time to listen you'll think the same.

Really gets to the hard house point on this one doesn't he? Doesn't really change it up that much though does he? But he probably knows the chop-up at 2:56 minutes is dope enough to get the rest of the track to pass doesn't he? Yeah he does.

Hell yes. Electronic music getting you to work fast at getting to work fast. Ending is weak but I would just cut out the last 50 seconds if I used the track.

Maybe someone could find it high def? Sound quality is shite but the track is awesome. I doubted that they made it until I heard the keys. Reminded me of Ready 2 Wear by FDHC. Why few of these tracks get better until after 3 minutes is beyond me.

The other Dubstep remix. Which is better than the first. And I actually will tell you I like it. Kinda rare, but like Hold On, it's a great use of dub bass while keeping the original vibe of the song.

Another Dubstep. More dubsteppy than the previous. It's actually pretty tight because it's such a fucking deep track. edit: This is the best dubstep remix.

This is actually much more felix da housecat than the fdhc remix I posted on here. Its a happy track. Not that the subject or overall vibe has changed...Its just bouncier.

This last one is a clever mix of 7 of the aforeposted tracks. He did a pretty good job.


That took a ridiculous amount of time. I hope at least one person listens to them all while they're at work or something. Ahem* Marc *Ahem. But unless you really like the original, you might lose interest half-way through.

I guess if I were to suggest the Gold, Silver, and Bronze , they'd be...


in that order. And the Franco is the best one. The others are just the best other jams that are the best at spanning the wide spectrum of remixes that have been made so far. The Midibyte is too similar to the Franco so it's not on this top 3, but it is easily my second favorite remix.



And for something completely different. This. As a Bonus. It's a hot jam. I want to meet a Katy B. Too much to ask? Yeah, maybe.
LATER!
