Remix Ideas

[street]

Hey guys,

For my next song I'm planning on doing a remix of a semi-mainstream/commercial track to try and get me some more exposure because i've noticed remixing currently popular songs can do wonders for certain artists, like Slop Rock for example.

So, your job is to simply name drop some commerical/semi-commercial tracks which you would find on say the top 100 on beatport or similar sites, or even the more top 40 dance stuff, to give me some ideas of who I should remix.

Even better if you can find me stems or an acapella of the track.

Fire away.

Was actually considering doing a Call Me Maybe one but there are a billion of them already.

Was thinking more modern stuff mattus as the production quality of older stuff isn't like it is today.

bring back "heartbreaker - john legend"

[MelodyIlliterate]

ahhhh

i retract my previous suggestion

Also, no songs part of remix contest tracks coz everyone is already remixing them.

Street,

What about Matt Corby - Brother? Massive track always played on JJ/Nova. i have seen him play 3 times and defo rate him.

From a quick search there aren't too may remix's, here is one - http://soundcloud.com/lancelotofficial/ ... lancelot-1

I have wanted to do an electro remix of this track since the moment i heard it, but i fell you are in a better positiion to get something out of it than me.

[dflux4]

Also i rekon this song will be the next song to be pumped on NOVA- why not remix it before everyone else does - Ian Carey Amenesia

[street]

awesome suggestions aran. Will look into them.

That Matt Corby remix sounded like the original was hard to make massive and electro-y though.

Amnesia could definitely work.

Bro if anyone can make Matt Corby sounds electro-y YOU CAN!

I will keep adding ones that I think of.....

STREETCLEANER/DFLUX4 collab? YES PLEASE

Cheryl Cole feat. Calvin Harris - Call My Name

Put It Down-BRANDY (f/ Chris Brown) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nTg4obMwh0

[street]

Big ups to anyone who can find me a Cheryl - Call My Name acapella

[Lurk6r]

This is probably the scotch talking, BUT, you could get pretty massive exposure if you made a track that samples a popular video game, such as Starcraft 2. It has heaps of phrases that could be use pre drop such, "Your allies are under attack" "You require more minerals" or my personal favorite "Nuclear Launch detected"

[GREMM1S]

Would only do a remix for a track that is well produced. Calvin Harris, Solveig are good examples wouldnt touch anything with pitbul in it.

What about some indie but popular stuff, parachute youth etc?

[andyman]

Niggas in Paris

[MelodyIlliterate]

new foster the people track?

[GREMM1S]

new foster the people track?

Which one is that again?

Alot of those indie/electro type guys will send you stems and acapella or if not have them online anyway.

[street]

Foster the People might work.

Which song though is it called? Ruby?

[andyman]

Parachute Youth - Can't Get Better Than This

[street]

I thought about that one but the vocals are too reverby

[dflux4]

Jessie J - Domino

[mattus123]

what about chemical brothers - swoon

i recon you could do a sick remix of that

[street]

Decided to go with Rihanna.

Sounding big so far.
