Signed up.. voted...

I downloaded the track last week using a firefox add-on but I'm not sure if they normalize the volume on the tracks.

Regardless I really like the mix...

If I still had access to DM's official forum I would promote it but really I never post there... like most music forums too many people act like little children...

Anyway good luck... at the very least I hope you can get some more exposure out this but I really want you to win.

Thanks! I think I'm being realistic when I say I probably won't win, but I'd a fool to not try, right? I appreciate your vote very much. If you want, when the contest is over, I'll still send you the MP3. I didn't get it mastered like I do for most of my music, though (money's a little tight), so who knows where the volume level really is, even on that one.

You got spun. Sounded good to me all around, mastered or not. I'd love a copy of the MP3.

Listening to a number of these "pro remixers" with the most spins left me very disappointed. With few exceptions, they're derivative and unmusical; like most crappy House remixes (or mainstream ones, for that matter). I would much rather hear your polish on an actual arrangement that integrates the original song than polish on a turd. However you put yours together, you end up putting together an actual song from beginning to end, rather than just tossing dubs onto an instrumental track. That makes all the difference.

Great job, Mark! Once I get this track, it'll be on permanent rotation.

Hey, thanks so much Eric. I really appreciate the spin and the encouragement. (And I agree about the front-runners in the contest. What a shame.) I look forward to being able to give you the MP3 for spinning. :-)
