Hide and Seek - Gentle Remix

[ianbailon]

I remember hearing this remix a while back and I kept looking for it. It sucks that I had to go through so many shitty dance remixes to finally find this one. Too bad it's not on Youtube anymore though :(

Thanks for redirecting us! Maybe you can tag this as "Light Remix" or something, cause that was what I kept looking up, only to be berated with a buch of the shitty techno remixes.

[doctorcastille]

@ianbailon Sorry that you had to suffer all that techno-dance stuff. I will tag this one for you as light remix. Thanks.

Mike

[onwheels]

Is there anyway you can send me this song? I would really love to listen to this remix!!! PM ME PLZZ

[doctorcastille]

@onwheels Go to soundcloud(dot)com and look me up there. I posted it there a while back.

[Bearnator55]

whats the name of this song?

[doctorcastille]

@Bearnator55 It's called "Begin the Beguine"

[Aerosmith589]

This song's pretty catchy, sounds old too, maybe late 30s, early 40s.

[doctorcastille]

@Aerosmith589 Certainly had to be inspired by the style of that era. I think Glenn Miller did a similar arrangement. (the song is called "Begin the Beguine")

[HolyMotherofGrid]

Just listened to your "new and improved" version of Hide and Seek (not really a "remix")..... AWESOME!!!!! Your subtle and sensitive instrumentation REALLY adds a lot to the song: i am impressed and will sleep better tonite for having heard it. Thank you.

[doctorcastille]

@HolyMotherofGrid I appreciate you taking the time to listen and leave this great comment. You made my day - thanks !

[rowanrockhopper2]

haha, i actually prefer the music you replaced it with :D

[JudyxMarie123]

Hahah. I'm kinda enjoying the music it's been replaced withh :)

[drumpat01]

just listened to this on your web site. Very nice my friend. Subtle yet still noticeable changes. Very tastefully done. I wish YouTube would have let it on here, but oh well. Still a big thumbs up for you.

[doctorcastille]

@drumpat01 Pat-Thanks very much for taking the trouble to listen AND for coming back here with the nice comments. I appreciate it a lot.

Mike

[bubblyTWIhardxx]

is there somewhere we can find it??? try re posting it on youtube except make sure you say in the info box 'no rights reserved or something and say that you acknowledge that imogen heap performs it etc.'

[doctorcastille]

@bubblyTWIhardxx you can find it on soundcloud. I'll send you the link

[nosugrefnoraa]

This dude is boss!

[earthwind12]

wtf is this shit....my ears bleed from this heinous bullshit

[sophminx]

the song is not working, so where can i listen to i?t? i really wanna hear it, im sick of all the heavy ones, a gentle mix sounds nice

[Brulluhman]

Would like to buy some of this one.

[molyapolloangelo]

I actually like the way this sounds - and this is coming from a youngun'. But I can't even relate it to Imogen Heap. I know you said it's a gentle remix, but I think it's a totally different take.

[joachimjoshua]

fucking crap

[Brulluhman]

Ok.. you catched me on that one. I like both! Good enough?

[IsaAlorah]

I was looking to listen to this on your blog, but haven't caught sight of it. Am I not searching hard enough? O:

[doctorcastille]

@IsaAlorah sorry - I'm not sure why it's gone. msg me with email add and I can send it to you if you want

[yourstrulyloved]

eh? , well nice percusion ;P

[DYYLLAAANNNCORRRAAAO]

this isn't hide and seek....

[doctorcastille]

Funniest comment ever.

[MattJeevasHasMail]

Definitely.

[XoKKgirlXo]

duuur it sez please turn on annotations and read them durrr

[JoObse]

lool ...okaay LOOL

[ministryofmoutz]

Just listened on Soundcloud. Amazing.

I discovered this because after hearing the original I wanted to do something similar to what you did here.

Props on using soundcloud by the way.. my username is ourvais. I make french house, check me out if you get a chance.

[doctorcastille]

Hey thanks a lot. I went to your Soundcloud page but wasn't able to play any of your tracks. Some error message about a FlashBlock which I didn't quite understand. Is your music anywhere else I can listen?

[MoMoMel908]

I thought the remix was amzing. Almost made me cry. just wonderful. i hate it when people remix it too much. i thought the music in the background was just beautiful. especially when she says, or sings rather "where pleasured moments hung before the takeover" Gave me goosebumps. i also like the end. Wonderful, just wonderful.

[doctorcastille]

Thank you for those wonderful words. I'm continuously amazed at the reactions to this. It's love or hate. No in-between. Thanks again - you made my day.

Mike

[MoMoMel908]

your welcome, i also love it when people say nice things about anything i do. which happens rarely. haha. but i just had to at least try to describe the wonderfulness of this. you didn't do much to it, but what you did do made it 10,000,000x better =D

[doctorcastille]

I didn't trample it to death if that's what you mean. Sorry you didn't care for it. Have a great day.

[baby5o4boy]

you barely remixed the song,

nonetheless, it is a remixed song,

a shitty remixed song you did

[steverox87]

why does warm pad make everything sound better? i love it! good work!

[doctorcastille]

I KNOW !!! It's true, isn't it? I love warm pad. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

[Imagineer183]

You're link doesn't work! I really wanted to hear your remix too this is one of my favorite songs since I first herd it years ago! Would like to listen.

[doctorcastille]

So sorry about that. I just now changed the link in the description on the right so you can find it now.

[NeatNit]

It says in the link in the description that it can't find the page :/

[doctorcastille]

So sorry about that. I just now changed the link in the description on the right so you can find it now.

[NeatNit]

I checked it out. Overall it's very nice, except that "pleasure moments hung" you added in the end doesn't fit very well, and it's also too slow.

Anyway, it's pretty good, and even though I haven't heard others I'm sure that this one is MUCH better than them.

[funkyspunky871]

I like it a lot. :) (And, yes, I did go to your blogspot website) I like the subtle changes; they added a bit more to the overall greatness of the sound and definitely made the song a little less... dull.

[doctorcastille]

Very kind of you. Thanks !

[TehConnow]

Erm... "Oops, looks like we can't find that page!"

[doctorcastille]

So sorry about that. I just now changed the link in the description on the right so you can find it now.

[TehConnow]

Im lovin' this audioswap. Man this is awesome.

[nintendogs4everluv91]

y keep the vid if this is crap that well have to read, wasting minutes of our lives well never get back. this and u r both bullshit.

[doctorcastille]

thanks for the brilliant and insightful feedback. have a great day

[nintendogs4everluv91]

oh, i am. y dont u shoved ur head up ur ass and c where that takes u. cuz making us read isnt entertaining u douche.

[doctorcastille]

No one's making you do anything. You alone are the master of your own destiny.

[NicoleBrooke8]

whats up your butt? If you don't like it then get the heck over it and go listen to something else rather then trying your hardest and failing to bother whoever made this video. mmk? thx.

[doctorcastille]

@nintendogs4everluv91  I see you were deleted. Wonder why? It's because you are a worthless speck of humanity.

[Th3Mu5T4ShM4n]

HAHA that audio thing made me LOL thanks for the laf :P ;-)

[808sniperpizza]

HOLY BALLRAPE

[IcexGoddess]

Are people really that stupid on here? Holy ballrape.

Go to the link on the side doctorcastille has provided.

The song is awesome by the way! I had to download it. <3333333

[doctorcastille]

Yes Kristen, it appears that they are.

Thanks btw.....I'm glad you took the time to listen and liked it well enough to add to your collection.

Mike

[IcexGoddess]

Yeah, No problem. It's really nice. <3 :}

[xmikywayx]

I can't believe this was a FEATURED VIDEO and it had to be removed. -_-

[vicious85fuk]

stop being so mad at the world and get a LIFE = )

[doctorcastille]

I'm not mad at the world.

[vicious85fuk]

so I went to soundclowd and the vid that you are playing is the original. you done nothing different to the song

[doctorcastille]

You didn't listen. The changes are subtle.

[Drakatha1337]

NO.

[NHComputerGeek]

lol, i saw the vid details and then heard the music and was like, what the... lol

[Sebizzar]

I kept laughing when the audio swap music started!

LOL idk i laugh at odd stuff xD

[doctorcastille]

I love that audio swap...pretty random

[Sebizzar]

LoL yeah random stuff makes me laugh =P

Anyway nicely done remix! In fact it should've been that way in the first place haha

[NegumiAndHalloween]

there is no imogen heap -.-

[doctorcastille]

Yes there is !!! Next thing you'll be telling me there's no Santa Claus :-(

[saborguerito]

i think it's the key changes that allow the remixes to stay.

[pigchen]

Can't help you there, I'm not sure one exists. Because it's an *a capella* (esque) song, it doesn't *need* the addition of music.

[doctorcastille]

Of course it doesn't. I never said or implied that it did. This is something I did several years ago just for fun with a song that I love. many people seemed to enjoy what I added - as opposed to the many dance mixes that are totally inappropriate. btw-I listened to your one video and it was very nice. I also couldn't help noticing you asked ppl to "be nice". Perhaps you could heed your own words? Wouldn't it have been easier just to stop listening and move on?

[pigchen]

You went through a lot of trouble to make sure that people went to listen to your actual "song," so it seemed like you would want feedback. Get used to people not loving your shit; welcome to life in a creative endeavor.

[doctorcastille]

If you mean all the annotations and such. Wasn't all that much trouble and was done primarily for people coming back wanting to hear it again. Youtube took the music off after about 60,000 views (90% positive incidentally). My biggest regret here at the moment is wasting a fair amount of time attempting to teach a little manners to such a little twat as yourself. But I'm done with you now.

[lf2davis]

hehe u said twat lolz

[ApemanSquared]

Of all the Hide and Seek remixes I've heard, this is the ONLY thing I've heard that gets the chords right. Perhaps the others are just lazy? Perhaps they think people won't notice or care, or maybe they don't notice or care themselves. Either way, as subtle as this is (and that is excellent), I'm not quite sure I would classify it as a remix. However, the fact that you've managed to match all of the "implied" chords in the song makes this the best one I've seen yet.

[pigchen]

Ehh. Not great at all. The music in the background didn't quite match up with the vocals, in tone, in tempo, or in the flow of emotion and tension of the song. Just seemed quite arbitrarily plunked in there.

[doctorcastille]

ummm....what on earth are you talking about? Did you not read one word of the description or the annotations??

[pigchen]

Um, yes, I read all of the words in fact, and then went to your website and listened to your "remix." Don't treat me like a dumbfuck, mmkay? I thought your "remix" sucked, is what I was trying to say. Why else would I compare the music in the background to Imogen's own vocals if I weren't listening to your actual remix? Now, armed with that knowledge, read my comment again and see if you can make sense of it.

[doctorcastille]

No not yet. Maybe if you point me to a remix that doesn't suck it will all finally make sense.

[Fallen4gain]

Hey Castille, you aren't the only one that got attacked for their hide and seek remix videos.. they came after me too, but *only* because my voice was overlayed so heavily into the song was I able to actually fight it and win, claiming it as an "individual noncommerical reinterpretation". I think youtube in general is just trying to crack down on "unauthorized" unaltered reproductions of copyright media.

[98FZR600]

I actually like this instrumental version! I went to the link and listened to the actual remix, and I think both are great, but this instrumental is better...

[sassycerulean]

You're absolutely right - such a stunning song! I love it ;)

[Sushiraga]

lol youtube

[jmwowchick]

that is Imogen Heap and she IS a girl.

[dreadpirateroberts]

Does the audio-swapped music have a title?

[LorisFTW]

=O WHAT NO SINGING?!?!? whoa. wait...im dumb....I DUNNO!

[LorisFTW]

who sings this.....boy or girl?? this remix sounds scaryyyyyyyyy

[1august3]

boy he'z a trani

[Lingo009]

august...uh, what?... seriously? She's a girl..

[bad76kraft]

I'm seekin'......, but I can't find "Hide and seek".

But it's very spheric!

[doctorcastille]

It's all explained in the annotations - maybe you have them turned off?

[bad76kraft]

Excuse me....I really like it. It's great. but I#m not sure if it's a GENTLE REMIX from Hide and Seek....

[doctorcastille]

Are you talking about the actual remix (which you can hear elsewhere) or the music on THIS video??

[0Psithiros]

well i would like to hear an extended version of the music in THIS video cause i loved it(it is yours isn't it?) ^^

[NyletakNecrophilac]

This is absolutely beautiful. I love it!

[doctorcastille]

It is beautiful. Unfortunately it's not the song I posted. Youtube removed "Hide and Seek" and replaced it with the generic (but still beautiful) music that you hear.

[NyletakNecrophilac]

That sucks. :/

I still love it though. :D

[DullBull]

Just checked out the link. Great edit/remix. Nice build-up. I like it. Could have been cool maybe to have the build-up continue all the way to the end, and stop abruptly with some reverb (i'm a sucker for reverb) . :D

[TheLemonandLime]

Ok

So it isnt a remix

SO WHY DID YOU CALL IT ONE THEN?!

[doctorcastille]

The annotations (did you read them?) explain it all. Originally, 2 years ago, I posted my REMIX. But then Youtube removed the audio and I just substituted one of their generic audio tracks (which is what you hear on this video now). If you want to hear MY REMIX, you'll have to go to soundcloud and look me up there. OK?

[doctorcastille]

This music is from Youtube's Audioswap - it is NOT my remix. There is a link in the description if you'd like to hear my remix and download for free.

[SheJanel]

Wow, that remix was pretty good. It dosen't overpower the original yet it adds in something that makes the song more complete.

It is possible for me to have an MP3?

[doctorcastille]

You realize that the music you heard is not my remix and has NOTHING to do with Hide and Seek or Imogen Heap? Unless by some magic you can hear the music that was blocked by YouTube. Did you actually listen to it...or have you actually never heard the original? I am confused by your comment.

[SheJanel]

Gah, I meant the remix BEFORE you audio-swapped this video.

I should have been more specific.

DX

[doctorcastille]

i am so sorry - i didn't mean to yell at you.

[SheJanel]

That's okay.

Things Happen.

The audio-swapped music is nice to listen to as well.

:)

[Sebizzar]

Hahaha tha would be funny if you WERE talking about the audio swap LOL

[DJxSGGxNeo]

Be hones​t

If u reall​y like someo​ne right now,

or miss them right at this momen​t,

or can'​t get them out of your head,

Then copy and paste this on 10 vids withi​n 5 minut​es,

And whoev​er you are missi​ng,

Will surpr​ise you tomor​ow

and the DJ Ttiesto remix is great!!!!

[XshattereddreeamsX]

Hmmm, I was gonna say, how come I don't hear any of the lyrics. But I just read through the comments lol... but like someone else said, if you send your video to imogen heap she'll give you permission to reupload the video. :)

[shezcrafti]

Hi there, I was just listening to what you did w/ the Neverwas song and loved it. Do you have the real version of the Hide and Seek Gentle remix somewhere else where you can share it? I wold love to hear it!

[doctorcastille]

It's not posted anywhere else but I thought about putting it on Vimeo. In the meantime if you'd like it I can email it. Just msg me your address and I'll send it your way. Thanks btw for the comment about the Song That Never Was. Appreciate that.

[marcosEstrello]

doctorcastille, if you watch Imogen's most recent blog (assuming she didn't create a new one today) she talks about youtube taking off various videos w/her songs in it and such, she said it is not her fault, but that she actually likes seeing them. She says how to deal w/it, by emailing to some address...i forget, just go watch it. GL

[doctorcastille]

marcos-I just wanted to thank you for that. I never did see her talking about this issue. However, she did talk about an invitation for people who want to collaborate on a song she had the vocals for and available to download. She invited everyone to add their own music. It's like a contest and also a charity thing to raise money and awareness for people around the world without good drinking water. I started working on my own mix about 3 hours ago. What a fantastic experience. Thanks again !!!!

[FamousTonyC]

Gorgeous. Very well done. This is an actual tribute to Imogen's work, NOT a simplistic sample-based remix.  Exceptional.

[doctorcastille]

I wish i could take credit for this but actually my remix was blocked and i had to substitute some other music that i found on youtube's audio-swap.

[kowloon12]

not bad at all but pads are clipping

[slamer2000]

I s there anyway I can download the track? I'd really love to listen to this on my mp3 player....

[doctorcastille]

Seriously...how did you do the 1:40 trick?

[zxAMBULANCExz]

i love this song...its stuck in my head..i walk around singing it..its addicting..like a disease...doctorcastille,(make­r guy) you are the best...i like this for the "Gentle" beat, not this hardcore HouseMusic shit, But all together i love this song, the original is good to. Ive shown this to 86 people and now my school is addicted. 5/5 (if it was out of 100...i would do that but..yeah.)

[doctorcastille]

Thank you so much for that. I can't really take a whole lot of credit. This is just such a gorgeous song she did - it's hard to ruin it (but not impossible...I've heard a few)

[Jon122989]

the purpose of house remixes is not the purpose of this remix. house requires a certain bpm range in order to be mixable, and has general requirements for beats in order to aid in beat matching. its an entirely different motivation and purpose, and if house djs are able to spread music like this to an audience that might not otherwise hear it, how can you complain?

[AnnaBrant]

I love this! Wow great!

[kram1124]

lol this song is so stupid i love it

[SZ868]

you shud listen to the djstribe remix its better than this remix... but this remix is good

[microtech4]

U shud get yer eers kleend out bro. The one you think is better is pretty awful actually.

[ChorusNerrdd]

sorrryyy --

*glorifying

not glofifying lolll, my b :)

[ChorusNerrdd]

it's like...

glofifying an amazing songgg :)

it's rilllly good !!

[ziphorah12]

this remix is so beautiful!!!i keep listening to it over and over and over......

[AmbientMusic]

Nice Remix Mate ~ Ambient!

[AnGeL8136292]

i love this!!! i found this song from a dance by same girl it was really good!!! like my fav..!! paece

[alanbbent]

GENIUS. The other remixes are fun but they stray too far from the original feel of the song. Subtle remix = just right.

[CrisM1]

excellent i love it, why dont you upload it and let us download ? :)

[Lolrallelol]

This is just so beautiful. Love the song. I like it, because it's kind of special. The effects with her voice is very cool. Sounds awesome. This goes straight to my favourites!

[doctorcastille]

Thanks very much! Hey...how did you do the thing with the time? Where you typed "1:40" - it's like a rewind button for the video and takes it back to 1:34 everytime you click it.

[samusamu]

wow, this is a really beautiful remix. kind of subtle but still significant.

[doctorcastille]

Thanks a lot - I appreciate that!

[TheElectricGuru]

it's full of false notes !!

[doctorcastille]

I assure you - they are all genuine notes !!

[xxhayyahxx]

6/5

[tanderullum]

Excellent work.

[musicismylover123]

i kinda hear it

its good

[StewpidGenius]

Ah, I hear it.

[CalJennings]

Very nice and much more appropriate than the dance beat versions.

[doctorcastille]

I hated all the dance versions, that's why I had to make this one. Thank you!

[holugu]

Shake'n'bake Imogen with Tangerine Dreams. Marvelous. Best remix.

[samcc3]

I like it :D

[curtrocks17]

the background audio with a lil bit of synth and a big bass line could actually make an awesome trance mix

cause thats what good trance mix's need is that harmonious background noise and not alot of lead synth

[jerova]

a bit too subtle for my tastes i suppose, but still well done. thanks for sharing =)

[tiyenin]

this is not a remix

this is the same song

[HTIDforeva]

i think ul find its actualy different if u listend properly!!! am not one for correcting people but this is a slight remix of the original!!

[DragonicGod]

hes kidding, dude.

[Gaknug000]

shes...beautiful...

[doyoulikesprinkles]

Lovely!

[arothauser]

I think the last 30 seconds is the most remixed part of the song. I wish there was more of that because what I like from a remix is a different song from the one I know, not just the same thing with extra music beds underneath (or sped up as they seem to do too often in techno). Pretty good though!

[bored9988]

this is great! i love what you did with it, sounds so amazing! good job!

[headmase]

Your remix is the only remix I like.

Really, I can't stand the other remixes.

I'll make my version of a remix too, do you recon she's ok with that?

thanks.

peace

-headmase

[cheezewizzzz]

have you heard the enmass remix? it's really nice.

[headmase]

I'll have an ear, thanks!

[DragonicGod]

how do they taste? i might try.

[CalJennings]

It stinks.  All the disco remixes stink. It completely removes the spirit of the song when done that way.

[jenniwithani09]

i dont really think this qualifies as a disco remix. did you even listen to the song? haha

[CalJennings]

It's not supPOSED to be a disco re-mix. This isn't a song made for disco.

[jenniwithani09]

It was a reply to someone else's comment. They must have deleted it. I'm not retarded. I know when its supposed to be targeted for Disco you jackass.

[InsideBleedingOut]

sthu jenny....Cal was just stating that it wasn't...

[meg1470]

This song made me cry once, idk y i guess it was just a bad day?
