He's probably loking for something along the lines of what you've done musically, have you done remix's before or released any tracks...things like that. I would imagine he's just trying to get an idea of who you are and what your about before commissioning a remix to someone he knows nothing about.

You actually thought they'd let anyone who wants to remix a track actually remix it?
Come on, where is the common sense these days?

Yes but now Kevin Energy knows, you can't release a bootleg cause if he sees it, he knows your email and can trace you (worst case scenario of course).

That had nothing to do with what i said.
We're not talking about bootlegs, we're talking about asking to do an official remix.
If it was that easy to get vocals from every track, then every decent track would have a bootleg. Yet they dont. Why? Because it isnt always possible/will yield adequate results.
My comment was directed at the fact that he was surprised that Kev Energy wouldn't just let him remix whatever he wanted, without knowing who he was.

i wanted to also add that if kev owns the rights to the track, allowed you a commission for an official remix, wouldn't you owe kev royalties? also rather than have to pay him royalties, wouldn't it just be easier to just relinquish the official remix into kevs care for him to make onto a b side or if it's good enough an a side pressing?
with that being said, the reason ultimately for kev asking you for a bio of past works and what not prior to giving you something would allow kev to believe that he would be receiving quality product. being that all of the labels that kev operates, there has yet to be a sub-par production quality track released, your chances of earning a commission as a new "producer" is slim to none.
you get more bees with honey, if you have the goods kev will deliver. if you do not have the goods, kev will not give you jack shit. he's a smart business man and that he chose not to give you the opportunity to take his proverbial money and do whatever you please with it. if he gave you the vocal track, i'm sure that a lot more would be included with it, and if you are not a trustworthy source, you could then take all of the resources and do as you please afterwards.
that's why it didn't work for you, i'm willing to bet.

was gonna say that.. think i already did when the first time someone discussed the 'pretty ravegirl' track. guess mitchy should contact daddy dj then =p
anyway im not supriced mitch.. i been asking some producers to remix their tracks (system 3 - like a shot) he's still thinking bout it but like what i've done to 'divided but united' so i might get the permission. thing is.. you should not want to get famous for remixes but for original tunes so make those first then talk bout remixing =]

that's a problem tho.
Even tho from the beginning, it's a remix of daddy dj, but it's a remix of Basshunter's DotA track, which in it's turn, is a ripoff of daddy dj

Basshunter did get permission from Daddy DJ to use the beat of the song, S3RL did not but from what i read somewhere Daddy DJ was ok with it. I don't think you have to be concerned with Daddy DJ or Basshunter if all he wants is the vocals, especially since the vocals aren't a translation of Dota or similar to any of the previous songs

my point was that some hardcore producers get on their high horse about using their material when they do exactly the same thing themselves, and on an even bigger scale
imo, do a remix, call yourself anon 2 and put it up for free download :) how many hardcore producers can afford a legal battle over a tune?
