Ok i've been thinking of writing this thread for a while and to be honest, it's the recent Bieber debacle that has prompted the action on my part, although like i say it's been on the cards for a while. You know when you hear a new track for the first time and think "wow this is a really good vocal" and think it must be taken from somewhere else because it's too good. Or even when its flat out blatant like ravers choice 6 "Hey Jude" I mean in nineties it was done with everything but that was part of happy hardcore, i loved the hey jude remix because i thought the beetles original was boring pile of shite and i liked how disrespectful the remix was. It's not something that has changed too much today to be honest and they tend to be a little less cheesy but they still happen.
I will say i'm a total hypocrite when it comes to this subject because i'm one of the first to go off the deep end at a poor blatant chart remix and i think in all cases, knowing a lyric is from another track does cheapen the remix for me, even if it's awesome. I do however love a good remix that is well done and makes sense musically. Let me give you some examples;
Hardcore underground 3 disk 1: Ham - Scream your heart out. Was absolutely disgusted by this one.
Clubland hardcore 7 - Barbara streisand Mob remix
There's even a track that has the lyrics from chilli peppers by the way and it's pretty much a breakdown and then a drop of twisted noise that has nothing to do with the tune of the original but hell there must be loads of them on the pc i just can't sift through (didn't realise how hard that would be).
Some chart remixes are just so cheap and like i say have a tune so detached from the track it's ripping off that they are terrible. Others are really good until you discover the original lyric and like i say it ruins the remix for you (concrete angel for example). my Hypocrisy comes in when i find tracks that display all of the above and i like them like;
Kyle Wycthwood - Frozen. Pitch that one up to 180 bpm and it's bloody awesome (maybe not if you hate Frozen though)
Some covers are incredible though and do a great job of turning a boring song around like Joey Riots Skinny love. He took a depressing and pretentious piece of crap and turned it into a belter. God there are too many to list but i bet you get my point, what do you think of remixing chart stuff? I think if it's good it's good but shite will always be shite.

I've often wondered this. Being that I usually don't like chart based remixes for the reasons you said about them sounding cheap, but some are quite epic when done right!
One for me is Beatfreakz - Somebodys watching me (dougal & gammer remix)
And does this count? ;) https://m.soundcloud.com/dj-gaz-mace-e/we-had-it-all A remix I was working on but never finished of Breach - we had it all. But it was kinda just slapped together and never really progressed with it as i lost interest in it.

As far as the Bieber remix that Gammer did, I loathe the idea that he felt the need to remix a song sung by an insufferable cunt, but I can be completely unbiased and say that it's a well-made remix. And while I know who Justin Bieber is, I'm not that familiar with his music unless someone brings it to my attention. So I could have enjoyed that track so much never knowing that was him singing, now I hate myself for liking the track lol

Well I got just that one Ham cover and it ain't going anywhere. Not Ham's fault the lead singer's got a thing for prepubescent disgusting but innocent children.
