Yesterday (Saturday, April 7) on the national radio show called Open House Party they played a "remix" of Over It and earlier tonight trippy11 posted this at IDF: Supposedly a bunch of official remixes were just sent to Djs. Keep a lookout for the following remixes to pop up( New links all HQ files) Over It (Mr. Mig Radio Mix) - From McPheever 20 @ IDF Over It (Funk Generation Radio Mix) - Played on Open House Party Over It (Funk Generation Mixshow) Over It (Funk Generation Club Mix) - From trippy11 @ IDF * Over It (Funk Generation Club Mix) - From McPheever 20 @ IDF * Over It (Mr. Mig Instrumental) * Same song but different file from different sources The one they played on OHP was the Funk Generation Radio mix. It's mixed by DJ Mike Rizzo.

What is a remix? Is it a good thing? I'm clueless about this topic...help

Posted By a3boymom on 04/08/2007 10:25 PM What is a remix? Is it a good thing? I'm clueless about this topic...help Well, I'm not going to pretend that I have any great knowledge on the subject, here is what Wikipedia has to say on remixes: Remix 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. So what do we make of these remixes of Over It being offered up by the label? RCA hopes to extend the radio play of this single to more "beat oriented" types of music format (rhythmic, urban, dance). Also, considering the length of some of these tracks (the one above is over six minutes long) the label clearly wants Over It to be played in dance clubs as well. Is it a good thing? Any time a label supports an artist and tries to extend the range and market penetration of their music I think it has to be considered a good thing. The IDF crowd, generally, seems to really like that remix. Listen to it and see what you think. I actually considered setting this up as a poll thread so feel free to weigh in, thumbs up or down on the remix.

Thx for the remix and OHP plays info. Always a good ting when a remixes are issued. No point in spending the time or energy unless the song is relatively popular. RCA is definitely looking for extra mileage for the song. OHP has always kind of had a more urban bend so it is not surprising that they played one of the remixed versions. Other format stations may follow suit. Though I don't expect a big pick-up by those who have not yet already played OI. Dance clubs are an obvious market as well (possibly paving the way a bit for OT as a second single which be sure to make the dance club circuit). I think the one remix version we heard is okay. I don't think OI is really a song that lends itself to decent remixes all that much though. The slow dragged out vocals don't really work all that well for me but I do like the underlying beat. I would have liked to see them do a little more with the vocals through repetition on not play them back word-for-word. Mix them up more. Maybe some of the other mixes do that as this is only one of many. But in sum, it is great to see alternate versions and a sure sign that RCA is continuing to back Kat and do what they can to help get her established.

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

Thanx for the remixes! I like them, but I think I still like the original better...Over It (Funk Generation Club Mix) is okay, but I don't really care for the super long intro...it's like, "okay...is the vocal going to start anytime soon..." It sounded kinda cool though, what they did with Kat's voice and the timing. I like the Mig Radio Mix better though, because they didn't change it as much. They're both cool though, and if it helps it get more play, then that's great!

Kat Pack #1422 Kat's Comment to me: "Lauren, don't worry about your gift and not getting on time. That is sooo sweet but you didn't have to do that. I really appreciate it. I read your comment and it really touched me. I'm happy you enjoyed your first season of Idol. I mostly thank you for all your support. It means more than anything. I just love that people are enjoying the music. Keep in touch and thanks again. Cute page too! kat" Spark Plug #548

Well we were dancing around the office to da beat of da remix...I'm not sure what this will do on radio, but it sure makes me want to dance! I assume this is just a long version of the one played on OHP, but it sure sounded better to me played on my computer than the one played over the radio (also on my computer). Anyway, I like it!
