Funny you mention that, because originally the thought of it having a bit of Latin flavor hadn't even occurred to me. Though on relistening I totally hear it too. Haha, unintentional fusion of styles there (bonus points, haha). Am glad you enjoyed this mate. As previously mentioned, this mix wouldn't have been possible without the loops all of you provided for this. So thanks again for that. Funny fun-fact about those loops of yours- they sorta reminded me of the collab tune I did with Splish, Snooze Button (vibe wise, at least). Thanks for stopping by. Lates!

Thanks mate. As I just said to Edge7, this mix would not have possible without the great loops you all provided here. Thanks again for sharing and I am glad you enjoyed this. Later on!

Thanks vis. I've currently got something like 30 acapellas in my bin and her's just seemed to have the best groove for this. This also marks the first time I've done a "versus" type of mixing style. Will definitely have to mess around with it more often. Glad you enjoyed this mate. Lates!

Thanks mate. Good to see you on the site again. Been doing any mixing recently? Am glad you enjoyed this. Later on!

Prech that mate. The motivation came from the last mix I did with your stuff (as previously mentioned). I feel that without the loops you've shared these mixes might not have even come about. Glad ya dug it too. Lates!

PS. perhaps for my next mix
I'll do a Edge7 vs DonnieVyros
mix =}

Muchos gracias Ed. That's my main drive with music- the ideas (and experimentation). I love playing around with new concepts (or with older, established ones that I have yet to try my hand at or haven't heard anyone do in a while). If I can inspire/motivate others than I feel that I've succeeded at my mix-craft. As for genres, we all come from our own particular schools, but the beauty of audio is that we can freely move from one to another. I'm glad ya enjoyed this. Lates!

Prech that mate. I took your advice and kept it minimal (without smothering it with multi-effects). Prech that! Glad ya dug it too. Lates!

Haha, nice one mate. I had the same problem with 9 volt batteries a while back (switched to markers, much less painful, jk). Anyways, glad ya dug this mate. Lates!

Prech that mate. The instrumental version of this ain't half-bad, but the version with the lyrics is so much better IMO. Still waiting to hear back from Laura (though last we spoke she was about to start a new job, so I don't wanna rush her with this- in comparison to that). Glad ya dug it mate. Lates!

I hear ya mate. This was an experiment with offsetting stuff (sorta like a way to point to signaled chaos, in-step with the game's progressive speed change). More for the psychological effect of conscious interference rather than traditional escapist immersion approach. Thanks for stopping by. Lates!

Thanks mate. I like coming up with beautifully odd results with my experimentations (namely the Blues vocal pairing well with the D&B/Dance tune). You're drums sound perfect BTW (classic & pure IMO). & another oddity is that they paired well with my bass loops (who knew, haha).

I hear what you're saying about the intro/loops. For the intro/outro, that was my way of faking like this was a part of a larger mix session (going into other songs as if this song were hastily cut/recorded from it). For the loop part, that mostly falls back on intent- since this was my first site *Showcase, I wanted to present the stuff as naked as possible (as a selling point to potential new members). Cuts & effects would've masked the pure beauty of the original sample me thinks. I've changed this stance with my subsequent "site mixes". Though, truth be told, this is still my current favorite out of the 5 I've done so far (the one with Steklo comes in right behind it), Anywho, nuff gabbin outta me. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks mate. As I said in the "How Do You Produce" thread, I don't really follow music theory (or any similar school of thought there). I just play it by ear and try to come up with stuff that pleases the headphones. Panning is a fun lil advanced tool/trick I use on about half of my mixes now (love the feeling it gives). Glad ya dug this. Later on!

Yeah, that's usually what I do too (play it by ear, if it sounds right or interesting I go with it). As for the mix, I'm still getting use to applying vocals (of another person). Don't do it that often. Glad ya dug the mix. Later on!

Prech that mate. I was returning to an older mixing style with this. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Glad ya dug it mate. Those loops of yours are awesome (and these in particular were familiar because I heard someone else's mix on here that used 'em). Thanks again for sharing 'em with us (they add a nice dreamy quality to the track IMO). Later on!

Thanks mate. Everything came together with those voc-synth FX2 loops I rolled. So off-the-wall that they made me think of the rave scene from a few years back. And I'm glad that this could inspire you to try something similar. The original goal of these showcases was for hypin the site (kinda was thinkin that some publicity would be good for it since the time it was down last year). Then the other side of it was to encourage others to follow suit with similar mixes (am thinkin it'd be cool if there were more of those, ya know?). Am glad ya dug this. Later on!

Haha, am flattered mate, but there are other folks who are my schooled on d-n-b than I (weazelbeats, rougeai, alen9r to name a few). I'm still what you'd class as a student here (am that in many ways and most of the times, really). As for the mix, try to do that with most of the stuff I do (give it a worldly flair). Am glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, that's cool. 2 different versions and all that. Kinda wanted to present it to folks to show what it was like with and w/o vox (and also good b/c I've opened up this tune for remix). The bass loops are available on here if ya wanna play with 'em. Anyways, glad ya dug this vers too. Later on!
