It's hard days for remixes. Channels close down and I had to protect my own by removing some videos that contained live performances (CL & Minzy and some dubs). Then the newly released 2NE1 song is for some reason fully copyrighted and any attempt to upload the video will give you a big fat copyright stamp.
Then suddenly a new SNSD song! A grown-up yet girly concept that brings back memories from Chocolate Love. The track is very well made and the girls perform very well. But as every SNSD song this had to be remixed too. Exactly the moment the video and the song were out, I've started working. The main problem as always was there is no instrumental available, risking producing a noisy remix with messy low-level vocals (just like Oh!). But things turned out very different this time.
Usually the producers of pop songs make their songs in ways that make our lives as remixers really hard. This time though, like a miracle there was a "bug" in the original song and using an audio engineering hack, I've managed to get rid of the rhythm instruments from the original track, allowing me to producing something much clearer than originally expected.
Now on to the song, I went with a dreamy electro style in this. I'm new into electro sounds engineering, yet I'm very excited and I'm learning more and more techniques in every remix. People also seem to like more louder vocals and electro sounds these days so I'm slowly transforming my remixes to fit to their likings. I also think that this style fits so much better to the song feel and context. Not to mention that this track is made in /T sequence, just like Heartbreaker and T-ara's crazy, which give an advantage to rhythmic rather than melodic music.
I'm also studying a lot of music theory and I'm using all that knowledge for creating much brighter and more interesting melodies. A good example of something that wouldn't be there without this are the background chords playing at 00:33 to 00:50. While it's not something that difficult they give the song a much deeper feel and emphasize what it would otherwise be just a noisy electro bass and lead and generally help the track have a more interesting rhythm.
I know this is the 4th teaser out there but I couldn't resist. kara is "in the fridge" till an instrumental is out, Dambi is slowly maturing like good Whisky and F.Cuz is currently in the middle stages of the remixing. This one came out with a greater speed so the chances are it could be released before all. Thank you for your patience and I'll try to get things released soon. Don't forget I have a final year project, lectures, assignments and tech-demos to create. And also Final Fantasy 13 is out and of course I'm playing it! Priorities you see...

@momosanpeach I'm sorry about this ㅠㅠ teaser need about a half day of work, while a full remix takes a lot of time and energy and I really feel guilty remixing while I have so much things I need to study. That's why I've been so slow lately :/
