Hi folks it's been a long time since I posted on here (bar the odd quick mix thread).
I totally lost the passion for hardcore. I gave up production too. Having flirted with Hard House & D&B for a few months I finally found that Rave Breaks is turning into everything I liked about 90's hardcore. I made what turned out to be quite a sucsessfull Rave Breaks mix and found a great new website dedicated to all things "Nu Rave".
So all this taken into account I finally re-installed the music software and came up with this remix over two or three days. It's still a bit rough around the edges as far as mixdowns go and I'm still not set on the sound of the bass but all the same I thought I would see what people think.
Although the track has been remixed to death I'd like to think I bring something original to it and also retain some of the feel of the original track at the same time.

All feedback is welcome.

wow its really hard to review this one, I cant stop comparing it with the original, its very similar but I guess thats the feel you wanted to achive
i like the change at 3:10 its nice
and a little thing about the intro, I think the first minute needs something more going on, its a little boring imo
other than that is a good job mate.

To be honest the intro was just thrown together with no thought at all, it's basic to say the least. I'll see if I can come up with something a bit more inventive.

Aha, a team effort! That can't be bad and it's good to see you're producing again Stu.
Yeh, it keeps the vibe but I agree with what's already been said altough it shouldn't be too hard to sort those things out.
btw, I d/l'd the last mix but as yet haven't had a chance to listen to it....

Fatter bassline? Define fatter, because as it is it's on the verge of being TOO fat. Anyway good stuff, really liking it. Keep it coming. I like the bassline particulaly. I have no complaints about the track at all, just sounds like good music to me.

I'd agree with all this, especially about the bass. It is "fat" - and could do with turning down a bit, it drowns the kick out somewhat but as you said this is a rough mixdown - but as it stands it's basically just a sub. I would add another grimier, mid bass layer to that sub ;). I like the bassline, kind of reminicent of a old school chilled Garage, which i like and think it works but i'd think about at least maybe having a mid section incorporating a nastier bass.
As for the track itself; you'd struggle to do anything with this tarck that hasn't alredy been done before as it has been remixed to death, including a Rave Breaks/Nu Rave mix (i've a really good Rave Breaks mix, it's listed as being made by Re-Arranged if you're interested).
The vocals sound a bit weird where they are placed. I'm used to them (that is the first line, ie "when i hold you baby") coming in a bit later.
From about 2:30 i quite enjoyed it. I like the new piano riff you brought in, i would have liked to hear it without the vocals over that part, maybe a nice, ravey, instrumental section. I like the vocal chops you've used, but the track, i feel, could do with a section without vocals to prevent it becoming too repetative.
Good effort mate :) . Oh and can you link us up to this mix you did please?
