Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
Taking a break from hyping the Dirty mixes (although there's a link in my sig if you haven't voted us all up yet). Some of the non-dirty mixes are really good, and well worth a listen. It's something of a mantra over on beatport's discussion thread, but there are quite a few that widdle all over the commerical promo mixes from a great height, but a lot are getting lost under a stream of ballot-stuffing votes by some entrants.
So, this thread is for links that will help dirts find the gems among the dross. I'll get the ball rolling with "Bird 1 (The Gripp Remix)". A highly skilled total rework of the song that sounds a bit like Duran Duran around their 80s peak, with masses of funky bass guitar and cowbell, but still fits perfectly with the vocals and gives the chorus a real punch. Maybe if Underworld Mk1 had carried on and hit the bigtime they might have souded like this. http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...e-gripp-remix/

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
The Gripp mix is fantastic except for the production on the chorus. It's too loud and really ruins the vibe. The rest of the track is great though. I'd love to have an mp3 of it with some of the effects and double tracking reduced on that chorus.

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
This is great idea to rework it in this way... Reminds me of an old days of Underworld MK I...
Spin.

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
I've listened to a bunch of these mixes. Theyre all awful in some way. I wish they werent. If you havent registered for Beatport yet, and clicked "SPIN IT!" to the Marshall Watson mix then you should do it NOW.

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
Can't agree more. It's close but the chorus is a mess.

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
Thanks, Starfox... mine and Marshall's are being hyped along with all the other Dirty mixes in another thread too :-)
Here's another few of my picks from the non-dirts, for people who don't want to wade through all 318 mixes to find ones they like. The John Player Mix. This one suffers from the bane of remixes, 'throw the song away, just shove a vocal sample or two over cheesy generic techno-itis', but on the other hand it's damn fine cheesy generic techno! Just so 'hands in the air' that I can't resist it: http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...-player-remix/ Chitoon Remix Dark, spooky, sounds a bit like recent Depeche Mode, keeps the song intact and goes somewhere else with it. Stick with it past the intro, it gets better as it goes along. http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...chitoon-remix/ Ydex Remix Proof that there are some great mixes buried way down the list, this one only has 2 spins at the moment. Fun, fast and funky, and very well put together too, I'd definitely say this one was worth a listen. http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...-1-ydex-remix/

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
...and another. I've just failed to review this spectacular bit of audio in any coherent manner over on Beatport. Think Miles Davis and Venetian Snares rape Underworld in a dark alley.... or perhaps I'll be describing it if I said BeBopHeadfuck?
Make your own mind up which side of the dividing line betwwen genius and insanity it falls here: http://www.beatportal.com/remix/deta...-bakraka-remix

Re: Best of the Non-Dirty Beatport mixes
I can slightly see this, but I'm totally hearing Do You Think I'm Sexy in there - I was waiting for the synths to kick in!!!
