Now this is how a proper discussion should be! And I'm not against mainstream remixes myself, just so long as the producer finds a way to make it stand out on its own!

Just had another listen and I think it could work well without the vocal and a few more elements added. Well, it would be more to my taste is what I mean.

Just to clarify i wasn't commenting on the track itself, i would have said the same without listening to it. I was just reffering to the idea of remixing a pop tune.

I like the idea, unfortunately Kesha annoys me greatly for some reason!
As for some of the other points here i can agree with both schools of thought pretty equally.
It's a real pity that producers with obvious talent need to resort to 'Hardcoreing up' dodgy pop tunes to get people to listen to their work. True, it's not the only way to go about things but it tends to work.
It's more of a pity that real quality doesn't get the respect it deserves because it doesn't have a hook or vocal 'borrowed' from elsewhere to get people to listen.
Suppose it's a case of the remix style of tune getting you noticed but it's the original stuff that gets you recognised.
Personally, i'm all for originality (and longevity), but i have to admit to the odd guilty pleasure - and if that happens to be a Hardcore version of 'My old man's a dustman' then so be it!

Man, what a discussion ! Some guys seem to forget that Hoodzie has made some huge and inventive tracks so far, as well as some very good remixes, so don't mad him for going a little mainstream just to get regognized by a bigger audience :o) Maybe it's not his best track since he made some smashers that can hardly be topped, but I'm sure that it will be sold pretty well......
Keep it going mate, I'm constantly waiting for new releases....
