I am crazy in love with the new Body Talk album, it's pure genious! Right now it's Pride weekend in Toronto and I heard her new single "None Of Dem"
last night at a couple clubs there.
I NEARLY DIED WHEN THE DJ's PLAYED IT!! ...lol
Anyways can't wait for the remixes to start rolling in on this one!

Hmm ... sound like someone ripped off Pitbull's drumloop ... I for one am getting sick of guys doing unofficial mixes (hence I finally decided to sign
up and speak my mind), leaking them, and then advertise that they have remixed 'Robyn' etc ... Cajjmere is infamous for doing this ... have you ever
looked at his/her discography? How many of those are really official? Anybody can say .. 'hey, I remixed Madonna, Rihanna etc ..' ... the real
question is ... did you get paid?
Whateva... Shadypines didn't mention ANYTHING about the "Cajjmere Wray" remix. I did. (And trust me, I'm not CW)
And as far as you being sick of "unofficial mixes"... That's kinda lame. Sometimes, the unofficial remixes are better than the officials. And how do
you think most "official" remix producers get their start? By working for free on their own projects and making a name for themselves.
And why wouldn't a remixer advertise that they remixed any artist if they actually did? Saying "I remixed ____" isn't the same as saying "the label
commissioned me to remix ____." The question is, why do you take it that way???

Why is it a problem to say you 'remixed' someone when you officially haven't? Well, it is false advertising ... I have a problem with that. Just
because I put a bandaid on a cut doesn't make me a doctor. I can't go around and tell people I am a doctor, because then they will want me to do
doctor things.
Telling people you 'remixed' someone implies you got paid and that the label commissioned you. Guys like Cajjmere (again check out his discography)
claim to have 'officially' remixed tracks that they haven't. Lets say I am a label, and I hire Cajjmere based on his discography. I am to think he
is half decent because so and so at label EX hired him etc ... which in fact isn't true ...
Anyways ... this happens all the time. I just pisses me off for the legit guys out there that make a living doing 'official' mixes, and people blab
that they just finished a madonna remix that isn't real. Face it .. the average person will believe anything they read these days ... You probably think he does all his mixes on his own too!!!
How do you get to be good enough to get paid? You do bootleg remixes. You get your name out there. You get your style recognized. People play you,
others ask about your mix, you get attention. whateva, downing the "unofficial" remixes simply because the remixer wasn't paid is really a terrible
thing.
Claiming you've done one thing when you haven't isn't good, you're right. However, saying you remixed something isn't claiming it is official. If
you remixed it, you remixed it, regardless of whether you got paid or not. Being paid only determines if it is official or not.
And then you're insulting the members of this board too. Wow, you should have just refused to sign up.

Ok, on that front, claiming something is official if it is not, THAT is misrepresentation and that isn't cool.
But that wiki is public information. The labels don't seem to be having a problem with it...
Exactly He says the same thing on his website ... I guess that is what bothers
me ... people out there in the 'biz' making up shit in order to get gigs ... sad for those of us around here having to work a mix at a time ...
anyways ... enough of the rant, back to officially remixing

He has done all those remixes officially? news to me ... Lady Gaga? Rihanna? 50 cent? I must have mixes those mixes on the cd's I bought ...
===========
@trancepants -- very well said!! if I was a remixer I would be PISSED at those comments.
===========
@whateva -- oh god no i'm not Cajjmere (as Taj pointed out, he brought up that remix, not me). but I do like your screename, that's a wicked house
song!
As for Cajjmere, I emailed through his website once about his discography list asking where I could hear the Mary J and others that I haven't heard or
seen anywhere yet, and his assistant wrote back. She said that in order for them to place those titles on his site was because he WAS in fact hired
and commissioned to remix them, but in the end they just didn't receive final artist approval to be released. Where did you read he remixed Madonna
officially?? I only saw her name on his Unofficial list on Wikipedia. I'm sure if he was going around telling people he officially remixed Madonna
that Warner Brothers would have shut him down long time ago right? LOLLL
As for whether he does all his own work on his remixes himself or not doesn't bother me. Not too many of those so called "legit guys" that you are
talking about do all their own stuff. I have talked to a bunch on MySpace over the years and TRUST me many don't, but I still love what they do
regardless! lol

@taj thanks for sharing that remix, I like it! Does sound a bit like the beat Pitbull and others used last summer, but it fits the 'attitude' of the
original song IMO.

see ... my point exactly ... if you don't get final approval it means the mix wasn't approved ... sounds like a spec mix to me ;) Commissioned means
you got paid!!!

Yeah she said he was commissioned. From what Chus & Ceballos told me the way the labels do it now is break it into a 2 sided payment system.
You get paid half of the total agreed amount to do the work upfront, then you get the rest only IF it's approved and released. Spec is all free
until money get's drummed up later to be distributed to all of the involved parties.
Not sure what they are saying but I see that in the tracklisting for the parts of the song on the Beatport remix contest, they list them as "Eskimo
Vocals".
