check out the sample of this remix i did of that 80's song take on me by a-ha, its still in production stages and the levels are kinda off... but its the general idea
not to shabby man! good start. I'd dance to it! his voice is pretty clean and that pulseing sound is really gritty. maybe if you cleaned it up, or made his voice more distorted/echo then it would mesh better. sweet beat man, keep it up!
Here's some constructive criticism (don't take it to heart, what do I know...). The drum beat goes well with the song, but the low rumbling sound (typical of DnB) throws the song off a little. Beat matching wise I think you did a good job. Also, I can hear too much of the original A-ha song, I know you're probably just messing around, but if you could find the vocal track alone, it would make for such a cleaner mix. It sounds like a good concept and has the potential to be a cool mix, but it still needs some work.
Are you using PC? If so, are you using Sonic Foundry Acid Pro and/or Sound Forge? If you're into mixing you should look into these programs. I've used Cubase VST, Audio Logic Platinum, and Cakewalk Studio and Acid seems to be the simplest, yet most powerful of all.
oh, im a musician so this was just a concept i had in my head when i went to go see goldie last month, the original track runs at 168 bpm, and thats drum n bass standard
thanks for the criticism both of ya, good stuff, i need to seriously clean it up
hehe... im running cakewalk pro audio, acid pro, cubase, cooledit pro, fruityloops, propellerheads reason (awesome program), and ive got protools on cd that i havent installed yet...
by the way this took me about 5 minutes, and the gritty low end rumble is what i like in my drum n bass, and if i threw this on vinyl at a show without the low end rumble, the drum n bass heads would boo.. lol

thank you.
If you were spinning this on vinyl I could totally see it. If it were live anyways, people would obviously be less forgiving of the mix itself. Cool.
Reason is a cool program. I'm gonna buy an Midiman Oxygen 8 within the next couple of days and run it with this (Just experimenting, guitar and bass are my thing...). Fruityloops and Cool Edit are alright, but I still think Acid and Sound Forge are way better, but whatever works for you. Actually, when my (now defunct) band were recording last summer we were using Cakewalk Pro Audio, not Studio. Sorry, it's been a while... I was running Pro Audio with an M-Audio Delta 44 sound card patched through to a Beringer 16 Channel mixer. It's a pretty sweet setup. I just need to get some new monitors, my Sony's are too biased. I need to get some true reference monitors.

it was live.... numark pcdj mp3 mixer.... its what i use to test out potential mixes, but i did do a real live version last saturday on my radio show... i have a little notebook with bpm's split into genre's, and i was crosschecking it between genre's... so many damn songs that are the same bpm out there..
heres another live one that i need to rerecord to bring up the vocals, remix of the growing pains theme song with a dj premier beat growing sense

i respect the fact that you recognized it, but man, it was just a test, first 168 track i found without too many drums... and its a classic... it was between that and the nine by bad company, the first two songs i saw there... but you can imagine how bad the nine sounded... whatever i do for the final version will use original beats, and its all for fun anyways, no need to flame... wanna laugh? imagine if i would have used original nuttah by shy fx or ska by dj zinc would you have been happier if i would have used some bad drum n bass?
