Ke$ha meets Eurobeat Style

Hi again, guys!

I just finished a eurobeat remix for Ke$ha's "Die Young". I know I still have to improve a lot but it feels like my work is getting better :) This remix is a little bit "experimental" for me since I'm trying loads of new synths and effects. I like the final result, though.

Check it out and please, tell me what you think about it! :)

PS. The artwork was made by Sergio García Córdoba. He's amazing!

Personally I don't think Ke$ha is the best match for Eurobeat, and this song doesn't sound right in this guise somehow. However, I can't fault your production work - the main synth in particular is awesome ;)

And I agree with Shin - get yourself on Eurobeat Forever right now! :D

Music is good. Vocals are atrociously horrible.
End of review.

@Shinraikan I want an update on EBF Vol.2 >_< You wanted this out for January and we're kinda heading into June :\

I think the song leans more towards the speed genre but still works very well. Great production considering the unusual vocal pattern. I know Akira could do amazingly with some original vocals. I have 3 or 4 singers you know... if you ever need some help building an original track *hint hint*

@Lebon - Yeah, we've had hiccups and issues throughout the ride. It pains me deeply to have put off the compilation so long but I can assure you that I will not let EBF die. We're currently in the process of finishing up some tracks and mastering what we have. I'm working on the booklet myself now, so that should let you know how close we are.

After the release of EBF Vol. 2 I'm going to really push at getting back on track and releasing more frequently. We have many more producers since we first started, a few more known producers in fact but we won't unveil them until after the second release. You can expect an update on the FB page very soon. The next time I make a projected release date on there will be a final one, I can assure you!

tl;dr - The long wait will be worth it with more frequent releases since now we have more of a pool of producers to work with and our quota won't be as difficult to reach.

Thank you a lot for the feedback, guys!

I knew Ke$ha + Eurobeat was risky. I actually wanted to try some more Nicky Minaj + Eurobeat but then I thought Nicky would be a better match for a hyper techno track (since she usually raps a lot). But the idea of this remix was actually to do something "risky" hahah I'm happy to see that what ruins the song is Ke$ha and not me!!

Also I had like A LOT of troubles with the bass. I always have to struggle a lot to get a bass that I like (I even put more effort on the bass than on the hook). Could you give me some advice?

By the way, Shinraikan, you know I would be happy to take part on Eurobeat Prime, either as a producer or as a DJ/mixer (gotta show some of my mixes someday~). I'm working on some original tracks right now, so I'll keep you up-to-date :)

Sounds good! If you need any vocal help, let me know. I can probably get one of my singers to help you out. :)
