You realize Daft Punk and Justice make their own stuff, right? So they get all your loving, but you think they're junk at the same time. Also, do you realize how many music producers frequently sample other pieces of music? Taking something and making it your own isn't bad. I agree weak remixes are pretty boring and aren't likely to surpass the original, but when you take something, transform it, and make something entirely new out of it, I think that's very respectable. This next one's going to mind fuck you, considering your outlook on creating vs. transforming music (I don't see the two as so different, personally). This is Justce's remix of Justice's OWN SONG (which is an homage to Michael Jackson):
Original:
To me it sounds like your issue has more to do with your inability to accept change to something you like than any real quality issue with remixes. |
Music producers are to DJs what employed actresses are to Waitresses/Actresses. Most of the work produced by DJs are roughly the equivalent of a sledgehammer to a nail, they completely overdo it and lack subtlety. Aside from the odd person who likes their independance, most good DJs are likely poached by the record labels to create their music. Effectively a DJ is an aspiring music producer who hasn't had their big break yet, hence the reason why they pail in comparison to music producers.
Tease.
