I think you begin to understand Ronan´s point about the importance of remixes lately when you contemplate all these remix collections and the breathless excitement they generate - remixes have always been the bread and butter of dance music but it seems like now more than ever the key players´ reputations are being forged through their remixes.

There's something about it that suggests a healthiness and frenetic side to the scene at the moment, like could artists really be prolific enough if they were releasing all individual singles and not popping up as remixers everywhere? It really allows for an individual sound to emerge, it's a weird phenomenon of the electro-house explosion, though perhaps there are parallels with other points in history or genres, dancehall even?

it's strange to think that darkdancer still fits in with the sort of music around now, even though it was released around 10 years ago. I'd never thought that it would be a CD that still gets really great reaction when I dj.
It wasn't that much of a success around the time of the release was it?

― Local Garda, Monday, 4 May 2009 14:12 (fourteen years ago) link
http://open.spotify.com/track/4bhV7lK7p24eAb7TFArcM9
actually there it is, mixed with what sounds like extrawelt on the way in and something else on the way out
― Local Garda, Monday, 4 May 2009 14:14 (fourteen years ago) link
helped by the fact the original is also better, actually kind of a blueprint for the royksopp one imo
― Local Garda, Monday, 4 May 2009 14:15 (fourteen years ago) link
Trentemoeller's Robyn mix is also pretty good. I hear he's got a mix of Seven Nation Army that makes motherfuckers' headz cave in and shit.
also to return to the subject at hand, JLC's mix of the Friendly Fires' "Cool in the Pool" is being hailed as some sort of return but I ain't buying it. the best thing he's produced since that Coldplay mix is easily Frankmusik's "3 Little Words".
― jamescobo, Monday, 4 May 2009 16:24 (fourteen years ago) link
love 'Jump In The Pool' but hoping he's slowed it down a bit while empthasising the euphoric chord patterns and the lush synth voices more. it's a v obvious choice of track for him to do his typical thing tho.
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Monday, 4 May 2009 16:30 (fourteen years ago) link
Haha it sounds almost exactly like that, lush and warm and euphoric and slowbuilding. He does something very nice with carnival drums at the end, looping them throughout. It's a really good track.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Monday, 4 May 2009 16:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Thanks to James for pointing out its existence, I didn't know about it.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Monday, 4 May 2009 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link
He keeps all the best bits of the song in and kind of puts them in different places, the enormous swell with the "keep breathing, keep searching, keep holding on" bit and the big drum smashes is all present and correct but just made bigger.
― Enormous Epic (Matt DC), Monday, 4 May 2009 16:43 (fourteen years ago) link
JLC produced Frankmusik? I had no idea.
― The Devil's Avocado (Gukbe), Monday, 4 May 2009 16:51 (fourteen years ago) link
friendly fires seems to inspire really great remixes.
my favourite jlc remix is of britney's "breathe on me"! so good. (was also gonna rep for his mix of new order's jetstream but then realized the one i was thinking of was by richard x. whoops.)
― Roz, Monday, 4 May 2009 16:53 (fourteen years ago) link
I think he produced Frankmusik's entire last EP, but I'm certain he at least produced "3 Little Words".
― jamescobo, Monday, 4 May 2009 16:59 (fourteen years ago) link
yes, "breathe on me" is awesome
― we know gay coop (roxymuzak), Friday, 8 May 2009 20:16 (fourteen years ago) link
bit disappointed with the FF remix in the end but maybe just because i really do like the original
― Hard House SugBanton (blueski), Friday, 8 May 2009 20:29 (fourteen years ago) link
Have to say that the Frankmusik album is just glorious (a couple of duds) and sounds almost entirely like a new LRD album.
― emsef, Friday, 14 August 2009 10:47 (fourteen years ago) link
His Sneaky Sound System remix is glorious.
― Matt DC, Friday, 14 August 2009 10:57 (fourteen years ago) link
paper faces remix of fdh isn't up to much
― NI, Friday, 14 August 2009 11:09 (fourteen years ago) link
the first two tracks off the FM album sound like LRD, the rest gets weaker as it goes on which is a shame. I wonder what happened between the EPs and the album?

They secretly wrote and recorded six songs that became the foundation for the forthcoming album, produced by Stuart Price.

I'm sure this will be up to the consistently high standard we've all come to expect from Stuart Price since Confessions on a Dancefloor.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 15 July 2010 16:28 (thirteen years ago) link
For many, Take That were the original template for boyband success.
This isn't the first place I've seen that claim, and maybe it's just a Britisher-centric observation, but New Edition and New Kids on the Block both came before them and were pretty successful the world over iirc.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 15 July 2010 16:34 (thirteen years ago) link
mm. well in fact original manager NM Smith based TT on NKOTB in the first place. the original advert for band members actually said 'dancers wanted for Britain's answer to New Kids..' or words to that effect.
― piscesx, Thursday, 15 July 2010 17:59 (thirteen years ago) link
op herestill love this tonight... only 4 bars of every song = perfection.and no one does the start-to-finish strings remixes (felix, even starsailor)
give me new jlc!or alternatively, what went wrong? besides becoming a proper producer
