The one they played on OHP was the Funk Generation Radio mix. It's mixed by DJ Mike Rizzo.
A remix is an alternative version of a song, different from the original version. A remixer uses audio mixing to compose an alternate master of a song, adding or subtracting elements, or simply changing the equalization, dynamics, pitch, tempo, playing time, or almost any other aspect of the various musical components. Usually, a remix will involve substantial changes to the arrangement of a recorded work; lyrics may be added or removed, such alterations are not a necessity. A song may be remixed to give a song that wasn't popular a second chance at radio and club play, or to alter a song to suit a specific music genre or radio format.
I thought it was just ok...I don't go to dance clubs probably because of the way this re-mix begins. The same rhythm over and over again...it annoyed me and I wondered how it sounded in the least like Over It! Then her voice sounded like they dragged out the timing and it was kind of surreal sounding. I know know guys, I'm 47 now and my club days are gone (not that everyone my age is a non-club person) but I just found it annoying. Now, the main point here is how the "kids" like it because they are really the target for this style, the 20 somethings. So if it rocks their world then....YAY!
I did consider how a song like Open Toes would do with a re-mix...that might be interesting
You can't look at this as anything but a positive thing. I was wondering if they might do something in the future like release some of the songs that didn't make the CD with some remixes of some of the uptempo songs. Maybe make it an ITunes special so it doesn't cost them very much to do.
But yeah I think it's obvious the reason to do this is to stretch out the life of the song on the radio. They probably want to get Over It through April going pretty strong before they follow it up with what we believe will be Open Toes.
Open Toes lends itself to remixes more than Over It. I listened to the Mig mix and it was pretty good but I still prefer the original.
Anyway...like I said, for RCA to take the time to do this is obviously a great sign. They wouldn't bother if they didn't think weren't supporting Katharine. Agree or disagree with some of the choices RCA has made with Katharine, you can't really accuse them of not supporting her. They've definitely done that.
Here are the three that I have
1. Mr. Mig Mix - 3:20
4. Funk Generation (Mike Rizzo) Club Show Mix - 6:52
6. Funk Generation (Mike Rizzo) Radio Mix - 3:46
The price for the Remix CD on eBay finally dropped down to a "reasonable" price (~$13 + shipping)...anyway I bought one and ripped 320 kb/s, constant bit rate, mp3 for all six Over It remixes and put them in a zip.

Dude this is awesome! Thanks!
Vocal-only (sort of) Mig mix! I subtracted Track 3 from Track 1 and did a little primping. The result was this mostly vocal-only track. Zip of 2 edits http://rapidshare.com/files/90572296/migVocalDifference_v1.zip.html http://www.sendspace.com/file/eq442m The one with "slow" in the name was slowed back down to about the same tempo as the CD version. Keep in mind, in addition to the original vocal manipulation, these also include the remix speed-up (plus the speed-down for the slow version) and all the other things they did to make the remix. Still, it's a nice listen! Thanks again CRB for the files!
