For the people asking about my remix of Phuture Noize - Robots to the System, you deserve an explanation as to why I’ve done nothing with it. But straight up I’m sorry to say that I’ve decided to forget about this track and rather not release it as a free release. Sorry to keep you all waiting but here are my reasons:
Firstly, it should have been an official release. Phuture Noize asked me to do it to release with another remix by another artist but apparently that other artist never followed through and it was only my remix that was finished. I’m guessing it wasn’t strong enough for a single release so it just sat in limbo. At first I thought maybe it would be nice to just give it away seeing as though nothing official was going to happen with it but now I’ve thought about it, and it’s just not a desirable option.
I’m not happy with some things in the track. The kicks especially. I would need to update it before I was to release it, after all it's still at v1 (I usually do several update versions of every track I do). I tried about 3 times and just gave up because I have absolutely zero passion for this track and prefer to not put more of my precious time into this when I could rather focus on my own original ideas that aren’t bound to someone else's approval.
This is actually not the only time this has happened, I did another remix for another artist but that one never saw the light of day.
And yeah premiering it at Hard Bass out of all events. Really shitty that I had focus so much of my Hard Bass preparation working on that remix. And keep in my mind, Phuture Noize remixed my track Level, which was released. To then have to just give away my return remix. It’s kind of embarrassing...
Because of this, I have decided to forget about it and just pretend it doesn’t exist. To give it away would not be right in my eyes and in my opinion it’s not up to my standards. For me, a free release is equal to an official release in terms of expected quality. If it’s not good enough for an official release then for me it’s also not good enough for a free release, because I don’t see any difference other than how the track is downloaded.
In hindsight I’m glad it wasn’t released for this reason. Hopefully you can forgive me for my decision to not share it. There is always the Hard Bass recording :p
If you really want a free release, then let's make it one of my own VIPs. I think it's about time I gave one away
