Weird question, does anybody listen to the original before they remix it? I really try not to hear the original track to try and come up with something on my own. Anybody have any thoughts to my opinion.
I listened to the original when this was first announced, but i haven't listened to it since... i tried [and succeded] at not listening to the original till after I got my basic layout for my remix setup, and really i just checked the original to make sure i didn't just rebuild the original tune.. [that being said i made a completely new bass and drum kit, so i really wasn't too worried about it this time round] This is the 2nd time i've tried to do a remix this way, and i like it.

Yeah. In my opinion a remix should have some common element with the original (even if its just parts of the vocal) as otherwise it's just a new track using some of the same sounds/samples.
Twas a pleasure to try a remix for this tune, despite not making the cut for the 16 mentions. Thank you to @blumarten for giving unknown artists the chance to be heard.
