The only track I enjoy there is Takin' Me Back. Love the vocals there.

If Raise Ur Fucking Hands came out 3 years ago I probably would have enjoyed it, but I'm sick to death of the formula of starting out with a great lead only to end with a shit drop. That trend got old really fast, like the triple beat mess that came out like 6 years ago.

Killa Sound is a perfect example why Chris Unknown shouldn't do anything by himself.

A Different Stylee isn't too bad, but I don't envision myself warming up to it all that much either.

Breathe remix is an ok, but I think the Scott Brown sound is getting a bit boring for me lately.

Really love Shimamura's remix of Breakin Thru, so much diversity in that one, piano riffs and electric guitars!

Stars Collide remix is really fun!

Dirtbox remix is one badass remix, been a fan of it ever since I first heard it on the HU live album.

Aside from the Bad Boys sample, 2 Bad 2 Rude is Al Storm quirkiness at its best!

Haunted actually makes for a great powerstomp remix. M-Project does not disappoint with this one!

Other than that high-pitched mess that came on around 0:35, I absolutely love the energy from the Talk To Me remix! Real stomper of a tune!

A Place For Us remix has this happy hardcore vibe combined with modern hardstyle that I am loving! Should be a big hit on the dancefloor.

I haven't been the biggest fan of Fat Steve & Dave Castellano projects in the past, but they did Won't Forget You justice.

Is Jumpin' even considered a remix??? Almost completely unrecognizable from the original, and a track that I could never have imagined anybody able to do anything different with it. But taking it the freeform route, just wow!

Taste the Silence remix I find to be much better than the original. I couldn't even remember the original until I looked for it on YouTube. But yes, the remix improves on the original!

Original Muffin sounds good, but it might not be a track that gets a lot of play on my end since I'm not a huge fan of rave breaks.

All in all amazing album! HU certainly does 24/7's 100th release justice here! I kind of wish HU was around at the level it is now when Evolution had their 100th release. It probably would have been a higher quality project had it been a CD release than a digital album.

We originally wanted to remix a vocal anthem but either someone else was already doing one or we picked a track that had been done a few to many times.

There was a point when the remix pack arrived that we thought we wouldnt be able to do it due to the way the original was set out, I am sure I saw a worried look on Transcend's face as this was slightly out of the comfort zone.

Glad we did though as feedback has been positive so far.

silly bugger, either you need to re listen to the original, or you need to re-read the definition of remix!

Brilliant remix! I love how it took the main melody and stuffed it right down the freeform pipe, what came out the other end was brilliant! :)

One of my favourite things in music is when producers take songs and *actually* remix them right down to changing the style of the track. It echo's back to the mid 90s when you'd buy a CD single and you'd get 5 tracks on them and they'd all be totally different styles: Dune's Who Want's To Live Forever is a good example there...original ballad thing then a drum n bass remix, a eurodance styled remix and then a hardcore remix. Last time I checked mainstream the official remixes all seemed to be on exactly the same sound. I can't remember what it was....Lana Dull Ray - Young And Beautiful, I think.

Anyway. Internet running low here, so have only had the chance to listen to that remix, looking forward to hearing the other clips whence the internet has charged back up.

I know what a remix is you cumdumpster!

I'm just saying so much work has been involved in this remix it goes above and beyond what you normally expect from a remix. To take it from bouncy hardcore and convert Jumpin' to a freeform track is a huge surprise, but it certainly pays off!

It's definitely one of my favorites from the album!

Yeah, great effort there - completely different angle!

I agree with what others said: excellent remix! As soon as I heard it I knew it was my favorite one on the album. Of course I'm a huge fan of everything you make.

Freeform for everyone.
