Rose of Jericho Hits Beatport!
Posted by Rageous

Piping hot in MP3, AAC and WAV:
Home > Labels > Nettwerk > Rose Of Jericho Part 1
$7.47 for the release of three tracks @ $2.49, plus $1.00 each if you want them in WAV.
Update:
Called it. Let’s review briefly, shall we?
Original Mix: 7 minutes and 43 seconds of badassness instead of 4 minutes and 53 seconds. This will steamroll the Beatport daily chart trash fodder, spin it like a top, twist it like a pretzel, eat it’s lunch AND steal the girl… all at the same time. This will chart #1. Guaranteed. The only over/under is how long before it leaps to the head of the pack.
Sultan & Ned Shephard Remix - I said:
there’s a reasonable chance we’ll get something decent. I just doubt it’ll crack Diggers’ monthly chart unless he’s desperate for material.
What you’re getting: A progressive house stomper
And that’s exactly what you’re getting. Decent material that doesn’t insult the original, nor does it crack up to it. I reviewed this kind of stuff for Progressive Sounds for two years… I’ve chewed on so much of this plunging, generic house, I had enough of it then to last a lifetime. I have no more patience for it. For Christ’s sake, someone buy these guys a bassline.
Robbie Rivera Remix - I said:
Here’s your pretentious tech house trainwreck, complete with monotonous thuds, non-sensical synth blips, rogue arps and virtually no point considering the original source material (which is really as far as it needed to go). [...] I have nothing against Robbie Rivera personally, I just think his music is bland and uninspired like the vast majority of the genre he dwells in. [...]
What you’re getting: More blippy bleep bloops in an already bleepy song.
NAILED HIM. Back to the drawing board, Robbie. Hope your afterhours mix saves you in two weeks.
Big whooping meh. As per usual, topping Brian is a nearly futile exercise, since he goes out of his way to make his tracks as tough as possible to remix. Zero dead space in the stems. Thank you for playing, gentlemen… shall we take our next caller?

I would have to disown tech house altogether if that Robbie Rivera goofride was considered as such. The blips put it firmly in the land of frolicsome electrohaus. :p
Your anal biter signing off…!

I removed it myself. You can read up all about it in the comments there now.

As far as I’m concerned there’s only one remixed that nearly topped (equaled is a better term) a BT original and that’s the Hybrid remix of Godspeed. I prolly have others but I’d have to think about it.

Not even…“Shame” had a barrage of good remixes.
