First and foremost, apologies for the tardiness, but New Years eve took its tole, as the night blended into the dusk, and dusk into the day. As they say, work hard, party harder, right?
Well, if I had a pickle for every time I heard a band, loved the music, and despised the singer, I would have my own network of pickle farms. For example (no pun intended), Example released Watch The Sun Come Out last summer, and a few seconds into the song I was loving every bit … until the flaccid rap hit the tape. Gutted as I was at the time, I had a feeling sooner or later, other people would relate and sort some solid remixes out. Dicho y hecho. A month ago, my fellow party trooper Mei Ling sent me Moam’s remix of the aforementioned song, from the Global Underground 2010 compilation. I’m quite picky when it comes to House, but this song satisfied the amendments I believed the song needed from the start. Deeper drops, better paced rises and no half-assed raps to kill the mood.
A little research lead me to Devil’s Gun Zeitgeist’s Remix. Now this is my cup of tea, with a more interesting use of samples and a solid electro vibe, raunchy synths and all. DGZ seems to simply add more originality to the remix, and even though Moam’s version works in its own way, its too close to the original.
Most people nowadays rate a good night when they no longer know if its too late or too early, and this song fits in perfectly with that approach to night life.
Hey. Good morning. Watch the sun come up, it’s calling. I want another day with you.”
I suggest anybody interested in production keeps an eye out for each DJ’s distinct use of dynamics. The instrumentation and orchestration of each track even give them a drastically different tempo vibe, even though the BPM doesn’t differ to such a large extent.
Well, enough of technical mumbo jumbo. Let’s do what we do best, sit back and enjoy. And again, Creme de la Creme for 2010.

Great post. use your words. Oh and not all British rap is shitty. Just putting that out there…
@LEE Bah il falai poster les remixes on est d’accord?Je suis d’accord que le rap sur l’original est carrement hors context, mais bon, il faut avouer qu’il en existe d’autres Brit Rappers qu’assurent!
On vous souhaite le meilleur pour l’année 2010 a nos amis parisiens. Biz
.: This post by no means suggests Example is not a good rapper. It merely attempts to exemplify the miracles a remix can do to a certain song :.
Yes! I absolutely loved the piano intro for this song, and indeed probably every part of the song except for the rapping part.
Great post – I really got a U2-ish vibe from the Moan Remix.
Salut, just to say I agree with you on the tortured rap in this particular track but I feel the need to defend Example. The lyrics have been roughly copied and pasted from his unreleased early work ‘one night’ from when he was still doing real hiphop. Check it: http://www.youtube.com/watchv=KLisezxR74w
@GDOG , unfortunately the youtube link is dead, but I want to say that this is exactly the family ethic EMPT is seeking. Im currently working on starting the motor on our website’s forum, and this kind of insight and info would be the sine qua non of the whole shindig. I’m gonna try and find that early “one night” track to sort my ignorance out. But yeah, agreed, a musician should never be attacked. Music you don’t like is music you simply don’t understand. There is no such thing as bad music. Peyce

I think link this should work. The reason for it not being released is that he could never have gotten the permission to the JG guitar backing back then, or now. The track I feel works much better as an acoustic, allowing him to rhyme at a much slower tempo rather than cramming it all into this commercial beat. I’ve been listening to E.G for years now, his ‘What we made’ album is great- funny, insightful and toetapping. Try: “I don’t want to” or “birthday card”. Anyway, I’ve gone on now. Thanks for the reply. I’d have to say though, there is such a thing as bad music & not all criticism is bad. Keep blogging man.
this mix isn’t bad, it does hit all my house mix buttons, but I still think the Fred Falke remix is top notch
C’est une honte cette signature vocal au début de chaque morceaux. Dommage que personne ne gueule plus que ça. Les productions n’appartiennent pas à etmusiquepourtous, pourtant vous vous permettez de les modifier. Perso, je ne vous ferais pas une bonne pub même si vous vous en foutez
The Moam Remix is amazing. It definitely brings forward the best parts of the original. Only 128kbps though?!
