kylie minogue - come into my world (ashtrax mix)

from what i've heard of and read the fischerspooner remix of "come into my world" was what kylie herself favoured the most. when performing the song on top of the pops she used their remix as the backing track and it is fairly nice, but i rate the ashtrax remix far over it.

i like the original a lot and love the michel gondry directed video and what ashtrax did was to use the melodies and sounds and refitted them. it is rather funky and dips more into a robotic side as they worked a breakbeat groove. somewhat of an indictation of what ashtrax would make further onto their musical career.

the only problems i've had with this track is how to fit in my sets as it's too rigid with all of it's funkyness. i find it weird playing it in the beginning and if i play it in midset it dips in energy as there isn't a driving bass or a clear offbeat hat groove. both of those elements are more inline to the drums and the remix in general is more up top than in the bottom end.

which means i've mostly enjoyed this as it's own entity and i think it's killer in that form.
