Remixes That SHOULD'VE Been The Original Song?

[djspinnaspin]

We all have those songs that we don't really care for.....but there is that ONE remix that makes the original song sound like crap! Here is a GREAT example..... I Took "AZEALIA BANKS-212" AND Sandro Silva & Quintino-Epic (Original Mix)" & THIS WAS THE FREAKIN OUTCOME !

This is a mashup that I did for RatedH.Net


Every time I listen to it,I feel like THIS would've made the song a TOTAL hit,everything hits correctly and it bounces..... What songs can you think of where the remix TOTALLY smashes the original.

Here Are More Examples:
Kid Cudi-Day'N'Night(Crookers Remix)
M.I.A.-Bad Girls(DJ Smerk Strange Clouds Mash)
Does It Offend You Yeah - We are Rockstars (Cold Blank Remix)
Dj Antention-Rapid Fire(F.O.O.L remix) <<< Awhhh MAHH Jesus!! LOL

Definitely this over the original...


By the way, your mashup was great! Nice work!

I never cared for the original... Always liked this remix though. I guess the producers of Project X thought the same... lol

Respect for A-Track.

I was always a fan of Nine Inch Nails remixes, seems that Coil, Skinny Puppy and the like could make it so much better.

What a sad try to get people to listen to your mash-up. There is the "Mixes and Productions" subforum, you know.

Maybe he isn't trying to do that.. But he might be trying to.. But anyways this can be turned into a decent thread with some decent remixes

If he's not trying to get listens for his mash-up, I don't get at all what this thread is supposed to be about. What difference does it make, if a tune is an "Original Mix" or a "[insertartistofchoice] Remix"? It has no influence whatsoever on my opinion of any given track. I judge them individually and couldn't care less if it's the original that I like or a remix.

Maybe someone who understands could explain it to me. In the meantime a remix that I like better than the original mix.

I much prefer the original of 212.

Your mashup sounds like one of the most over-compressed things I've ever heard. Censoring on a song like that is just pointless. The original song IS a total hit.
