This is the culmination of a lot of work. Definitely the best song I've produced so far. The original is a house track, also produced by a guy in my city (Columbus, Ohio). Did the remix with my roommate. Hopefully you'll find it enjoyable, I think it's worth a listen!

The melody is by the original artist (Alan Hadgis), but I arranged it and composed the dubstep part along with my roommate.

Pretty sick, I personally think that for a song thats this long, instead of having a few drops in it, you should have maybe 1 or 2 minor drops and a major drop (as in like 20+ seconds of buildup). Thats just my opinion though.

Was pretty good

Man

My roommate (co-producer/DJ) and I COMPLETELY disagree about this. His intros are always like 16 bars, or 27 seconds, at dubstep tempo. And the "middle break" is too. I agree more with you, ambience is good. But when I said I wanted to remix this song he was like "dude I'm going it with you." And honestly his contribution was awesome. I did the "first" dubstep part and he did the "second." But I do like suspense and release etc.

Luckily one of the best things about electronic music is how easy it is to modify/remix songs, or play them slightly differently live (for example, with a longer buildup). One thing I don't like though is the fake build to more ambience.

But I definitely always think about what you're saying, DJing songs where there's only 20 seconds between every drop is kind of annoying to a listener I think. I think my roommate (Gimmah, of Gimmah & Khaze) doesn't go to many shows so he doesn't really get the importance of build-ups live.

Thanks for the comment though, and sorry for the rant haha.

Cool dude! I like the samples in the middle before it breakdown and right when you bring in the lead synth again.

I like how the chords sit with the melody too. Really nice work. How long have you been producing?

I'll follow you! I'm discosaur!

Thanks for the compliments guys. And yes I'd hope I've improved since the last one

. But I guess it's not for certain.

Thanks. I've been producing for 1 year and 2 months.

cool remix. Seems like Alan Hadgis accidentally muted the bass track in the original though :>

Thanks man, the melody is definitely addicting. Alan Hadgis wrote it, but I think I used it very sinisterly and majestically.

Hah, he is a very good musician, song writer, and DJ, but he doesn't spend quite as much time on production as I do. The original song was never completely mixed/mastered, because he has his songs mastered by a studio (maybe the better choice), and I do it myself. And thanks!
