motorcycle - as the rush comes (daxder dub)

this time around i try to make comments on things i own and bought legitimately, that is if you also want to call buying records and cd's for next to nothing at secondhand stores and bargain bins "legit". however this one is a bootleg remix of (what trancecrackers would call, and don't be scared of that word all of you trancecrackers, own it because that is what we are) the biggest track of 2003, "as the the rush comes".

everyone who was in the scene and remember this track know that part of it's infamy was because it just took ages for it to be released. when it was actually released there was a sense of "about time motherfuckers..." but everyone already had it on mp3 downloaded like weeks after the premier.

trancecrackers know this story already but they also know of the big backlash of this track because of it's hype. let's be honest about it the original is quite simple but as the cliché says, simplicity often works best. the lyrics are quite mundane and jes, despite her efforts as trying to be the next jan johnston, only worked on this track because the timbre of her voice matched perfectly to the slighty moody backdrop.

but is the original still good? i still say yes. i am still proud of owning the positiva cdsingle which i bought the week it came out which as the original sweeping strings version, armins supersaw mix and above & beyond's remix. just wished it had markus schulz remix but i think that along with perry o'neills version was exclusive to armada.

this remix however is quite unknown and i know i hadn't heard it at least a 6 years but it was the first thing that popped in my head when i heard dubstep versions of "as the rush comes" on youtube. daxders version is far from dubstep however it's just spacey and dubby kind of nuskool breaks.

but it shares the aesthetics of alot of the newstyle dubstep (sans wobble) and it's one of the remixes that really goes beyond the safety zone. it's quite over the place in ideas and the airy pads and vocals sampled from the original intro shares place with more atmosphere and bass. all gathered up under this light breakgroove.

it was however 'never finished' and it shows in the mixdown, the problem was if i remember correctly was that audition/cool edit crashed on him when he tried to change the first version he put up and he had to redo it and it was eventually finished, just not 'finished' properly.

as for finding this, yeah the best chance is to look on p2p or allofmp3 or whatnot because it's not that easy to find.
