I just meant the particular stems he used were, basically, the hardest ones to choose -- the ones that weren't the dance floor banger ones. Any remix ought to be a good challenge, anyway...

This track is a dance floor banger! I get what you're all trying to say, but slow down the techno-babble for a moment. To me, it doesn't matter what programs you use or how "artistic" "different" or "unique" your approach is, but whether it sounds good. Dirtybird has shown us that you can be creative and silly while still making people want to dance. Let's hear some remixes that embrace that idea! Kirn, are you serious?

Will be putting my mix up, but need some time to get it all together. Will be interested in hearing other remixes from CDMers !

I too used Reason, and ReCycle as well. Reason's a great sketchpad (and much more) and an invaluable instrument. I recently remixed a song by Norman Fairbanks, it was a great experience.

There actually doesn't seem to be much in the tune itself that would lend itself, frankly, to a remix. That's why I found this approach amusing: he basically focused on the two oddest elements and remade the song out of nothing but those, and changed the scale of the main synth hook. Okay, now I sound like an incurable geek. But you knew that.
