The song was originally at 161bpm and it looked like it could be a potentially great drum n bass remix. After a few tries where I wasn't happy with the outcome I gave it a ago down at 140bpm and a house/trance setting. It sounded great so I stuck with that. I used some nice Swedish house like synth chords covering the whole song with melodies powered by my favorite moog lead.

Originally the song has a jazzy structure with the verses being 2+1 sections long. That was quite unacceptable for what I was doing - trust me it sounded bad - so I took those +1 parts and I've put them together during the build-up, before the verse bridge. My favorite part is the actual bridge - which I repeat 2 times. The girls' rap fits very well with my settings.

I was very concerned whether I should have the lead melody playing or just leave the synths alone. Personally I love the video game like lead melodies so as soon as I came up with them it was hard to just throw them away for the sake of popularity since leaving just the Swedish house synths would probably please the most. But you know what? I was not happy with those simple chords playing all over the song like yet another boring EDM track. After all I'm here to deliver music and powerful ideas.

Donations are always welcome and in fact it's the only way that I would work on a remix anymore as I'm starting to get some paid production and remix jobs and the time is limited. Exciting opportunities are in sight, from official kpop productions and remixes to DJ sets at great events all over the world. Stay tuned.
