Remix update 1/2011

ROBOTAKI REMIX OF HOOT IS OUT WOOOOOO
No embed because SM isn't as internet-savvy as YGE and stupidly blocks external playback.

( But wait, there's more! )

Visual Dreams remix is all Daft Punk.

Really enjoyed that Kara remix when it took a turn for the wonky dirty climaxes. It's such a crowd-pleasing song to begin with that it suits big theatrics.

Speaking of british bassy inspirations I'll just re-post this great Rainbow performance, because I wouldn't mind a bit more of that bass in k-pop and when the mix is done in-house, well... all the better!

Rainbow Aloud, eh?

I like it as a remix, but I can also see Rainbow's terribly half-assed mismanagement as a reflection of what Kara says about Mrs. Lee Hoyeon's mismanagement of DSP in general. Any company can do sexy, but at least SM and JYP try to add another layer of meaning to the concept.

Time to rip that remix.

This mix is...weird. I don't think they really pitch-shifted any of the samples, which meant they really had to stretch with the instrumental to make it work. It's kind of back-door compelling until the next bit of off-pitch dissonance hits. The second half definitely has its moments, but it's so patchwork I can't really call this a proper mashup so much as a medley.
That and I've been so spoiled by the dense arrangements of my Robotaki/Rexrowdee/Areia trinity.

Do you know how to download freakmix songs, anon? I like some of his/her stuff but the website is daunting to try and navigate.

Robotaki's remixes have been damn on point and he's been getting some good professional breaks too. Definitely nice to see him hitting his groove, as well as Areia, who's been growing super lots in his remixes. I've been digging his latest ones - definitely bringing in what's trending at clubs and combining it with his trance.

I agree that Masa's latest mashup was way too crowded. I love Amaya's mix of the Old Spice cm and I love people's reactions when they hear it from my car XD

I don't know if you've already found this remixer, but I came acrossEpitone recently and I'm digging his style.

Epitone: seems like he has a good grasp on what to put in his arrangements, although all he needs is a set of really nice synths to go to the next level.(approaching Aliks's) Right now I'd put him around karizma1128's level.
More layers would also be nice. *is dense arrangement whore, I blame orchestra*

Ooh, Nu ABO remix. There needs to be more of those!(in good quality, of course)
And another remix falls victim to the dullness of the Hoot melody. There are some metaphoric little bells and whistles making it slightly memorable, but I'm not feeling the groove like I did with Robotaki.
OMG Lucifer vs Mister!? GENIUS
And another remixer proves how much 2PM keeps promoting the same damn song again and again. Ba-dum-ch!

Not quite a contender to turn my remixer trinity into a quartet, but one I'll definitely check up on from time to time.

Aliks has some channels linked on his channel page, and besides Robotaki the only other mainly-kpop remixer was ParkDaemin. Got that one distinctive synth I can't name, but it brings a nice light flavor to his mixes.
