Hot Chip – Ready For The Floor (JD’s Remix)

Hello all

My straightforward "Re-Work" of Hot Chip’s latest can be found now on YouTube

Unfortunately there’s no acapella out there but the original is sparse enough to work with

Ive been reading these boards for ages but this is the first thing Im asking for an opinion on

All feedback welcome

Thank you all

If anyone requires an Mp3 version PM your email addy

Hopefully this link is ok with the powers that be

There are several sounds added to the original, some more subtle than others and the vocal in inserted here and there. The best way of hearing this remix is to play the original first and then listen to this 😉

Thanks all for the feedback

Another one coming soon (this time an RnB track will be given the House treatment )

The MP3 is 130 bpm, the video is 128 to match up with the original footage

It goes slightly outta sync towards the end of the video as I made some changes

Some excellent constructive feedback on this forum

Cheers again

Curious as to where and if you got the acapella, or if you sidechained out some frequencies. Let me know )

There was no acapella to be found but I looped and utilised the first bar of the original which is accapella

5,459 views on YouTube and 258 MP3 downloads …. Cheers all ….. last few tweaks on the next one this week

you didnt really do much to it!

When I remix a track I keep my dancefloors in mind – every other remix I heard of the tune was too "out there" for the commercial clubs I play in so I kept it simple

As said before there was no accapella to get stuck into in properly.

what was added:

2 different kickdrums, a shaker, a bassline, a "swoosh" (lol), handclaps, the intro vocal was inserted in different places here and there, some FX and more besides.

if you listen to the original and the remix you’ll here the big difference – the new bassline alone is a new riff in itself

As a mainstream DJ the best remixes for me are always the ones that stay faithful to the original song. All the "alternative" remixes clear the commercial floors everytime.

Hope this helps clarify things
