Hey!

If you're doing a remix of CLO let's share your efforts in this here thread. Maybe for some constructive feedback or just as a showcase. In either way post the link to your submissions, I for one would like to hear them.

Hi Magnus, hi all,

Here is my take. Warren said "go crazy", so this is it. Sort of %)

I tried to rebuild everything around the vocal line, embedded grooves and emotions. And added a happy end 😛

Hello Derren & Sergey.

Sergey, nice rock vibes here, feels like a fusion between modern pop & indie rock.

Derren, love the distorted soundscape you evolve to (a proper huge low end kick would have made it into a proper masterpiece of a remix). Very creative and nice work!

 

I made two remixes, the first one finished lacked something, hard to say what exactly but it lacked some "magic". This is that one: https://soundcloud.com/emilsson/blackout-emilsson-uptempo-remix

The second one turned into something completely different, but here I felt something. This one had something, so this is the one I submitted to the competition. https://soundcloud.com/emilsson/clo-blackout-emilsson-deep-remix

Magnus, your second one is super tasty and much more lively and entertaining than the first one. I'm not quite into this kind of music, so not sure if it would be stylistically correct, but I think I would try to make vocals less prominent. There's just some redundant boldness embedded in the performance here and there for such an atmospheric track.

[Magnus EmilssonParticipant]

Sergey, thank you and you might very well be right about the vocal.

Hi everyone, I was going for a kinda ABBA vibe, any feedback more than welcome 🙂 I’m very much enjoying listening to all the variety out there, will be very interesting to see what grabs the ears of the panel!

Hi everyone - I went full on Hip Hop with my remix and got an old collaborator to add a rap for me to make it a full on LA/London mash up.

The rap was recorded without my input (due to COVID!) and was distorted when I got it so had to clean it up as best I could.

I look forward to hearing your comments!

I wasn't expecting that! I think your part is really good, and I especially liked the bassline building up at the end

It startet with a joke ... progressive rock remix featuring Fabio Minuzzis guitar solo 😀

Here is my submission. I could write a couple of paragraphs about everything that sounds wrong to me about it, but overall it sounds good and I'm really happy with the composition. It's vaguely inspired by Joy Division and ATDI. I hope you enjoy it!
