ok lads, time to set the record straight......there are some serious haters, trying pass of well articulated but totally unrequired criticism.

to those of you who are producer/djs, or indeed are highly fanatical about the possibilty of at some stage earning a crust of making and exhibiting music. You are in the minority.

Put as a simple analogy, you "haters" whilst knowledgable in the methodology of music production, are the equivelant to Skoda, talking to Ferrari about how to win next years constructors championship. Yeah, Skoda can talk when it comes to an occasional ralley but can fuck right off when it comes to Formula One.

If you are fortunate enough to possess the carefully guarded secret of how to make a dancefloor smasher that keeps both the unbeknown raver in the crowd happily bouncin for 8 hours and at the same time combine that with a rhythm only translatable by Miles Davis then crack on kid.

But you haters no, as well as i know, you're just hating because that chinstroke shite you make at home, that pile of poop you bleed your heart into because your girlfriend left you again and leaves you in such a state of emotional turmoil that you can only make complex records to match you bi-polarised personality.....yeah, well those records are for you, and a few of your mates......

Nero's tunes however are for the most important people of all.....the dancefloor public, who didn't get into dubstep for an education, wasn't to express there colonial root heritage or indeed meant to change the wold.....they were made, and would seem effectively used to rinse out a dance floor.

If you think a load of people on a dancefloor stroking there chin is what its all about, then use your energy and time to promote that apsect of it.Don't use it to inadevrtanly critique something that has musical and commercial dynamics your futile brain refuses to accept.

do you work for nero publicity? because if you do, this sort of bleeding heart commentary isn't helping nero one bit.

again, some halfwhit wanting to breakdown the reasons as to why NERO's of MJ Cole's Sincere is somehow unsatifactory.....

Nice to see how you can identify how the very records you hate are made, but haven't heard anything about how you would have remixed the record yourself....

Sat there, stroking your chin when using your keyboard to write your awful critique.....also sat there stroking your shaft when really, you wanted to "make it big" with your "different" compositions.

SHAFTSTROKING GENIUS!

The people hating on this are hating because they wouldn't and don't think this tune should have been remixed. Try reading the thread dude. We all wouldn't remix this tune!

and what's all the shit about winning and comparing music to racing? It's not about making money or being the most popular for some people.

Oh shut up you gimp! He's a mate of mine and Rob Sparx's, he takes an interest in what we are up to production wise and happens to disagree with some people's views on this thread.

Anyway, lets calm down, somepeople like it some don't. Its all good

[dirtythievingmongrels]

I suggest everyone go off and write a haiku,

Trying to Remix Sincere
Is like picking up a turd
From the clean end.

Quite a good analogy for a poor point of view......same could be said for any record....maybe we should exile remixers to another part of world. I know, Guantanamo Bay has got a lot going for it, we can even start up a school for you izan's who haven't cottoned on to the fact that your opinions are obsolete, factually in accurate...but none the less entertaining all the same.....

fucking hell lads, like there needs a Jason Bourne approach when it comes to dishing out reprisals for poorly critqued and unrequested reviews....

my name is Andy Leavy, no need for anyone to be shy.....i know for you guys its hard to except that someone made a successful piece of published music by giving a 90's classic a contemporary finish. but maybe if you stopped hating, took off your chinstroke fc scarf and wooly hat and took the time to fully appreciate why so many people love the tunes, as opposed to the few that don't.........then maybe, just maybe, you haters will make something of your own, or remix something as popular and indeed share the same success.

I ask you, to ask yourselves " was i really this much of a pompous cock before i got into dj'ing and music production, did i really ponitificate over the finer points music production whilst coming up on my 1st pills" i'll answer for you...no, you didn't.....you merely sat back, let the dj spin and you enjoyed yourself"

yet a few copies of Computer Music Magazine and few words of wisdom of your mom who used to sleep with trevor hornes gardener and all of a sudden your the Stephen Fucking Hawkins of the production world.

Accept the fact your a hater, realise why you fell in love with music in the first place, stop being a facist towards minority groups of bass noises, put down your words of abismall decay that only attempt to poison the pure and indeed, turn them to hatred.

Lets see some big smiles, not zieg heiles for music

Just remember you Music izan.....it was us brits that stopped u before, and we'll do it again....even if you have invaded leeds!

isn't all this squabbling and hatred the reason why drum and bass fell on its arse.....too ashamed to be a man and say...yeah, thats a commercial tune and i like it.....or not my cup of tea but can see why people like it! just outright non-sense talk.....they're all bitches.....sucking on poisonous udders of hate filled titty juice.....wincing as the sour taste of a decade of bad milk flows through the pouros vains of another musical izan!!!!

its like if the tunes doesn't prick up einsteins ears, then the producer should be lined up and shot!!!! man, its like a wobble holocaust!!! LOL

You're missing one very fundamental point.

'Sincere' WAS and STILL IS a DANCEFLOOR tune, loved by the ravers, jazz-heads, rudeboys and (as you like to refer to them) 'the dancefloor public' alike. It's musically sophisticated, without ever becoming noodley or chin stroking. Beautifully restrained in its use of sounds but still resolutely funky and tense and all without resorting to bleeding obvious, tired, lowest-common-denominator, tricks of the trade*.

...Which is exactly what this remix does.

*'the carefully guarded secret'

I likes it, I like to slay crowds with monstrous tunes, it's a lot of fun making people lose it to music and this is a good tool to achieve that.

I like more complex tunes to listen to in different enviroments as well, everything has it's place and this is aimed squarely at the dancefloor.


Jobs a good un imo.


Dan Nero - Loving 90% of your output bruv, the bassline on Night Thunder is fucking amazing (from a production stand point as well as on the floor).

More please!!!!!!!!

[dirtythievingmongrels]

do you work for nero publicity? because if you do, this sort of bleeding heart commentary isn't helping nero one bit.[/quote][/quote]

indeed.....but creating a vibe that somehow suggests that one form of music is somehow inferior to the other, and then to be as precise as to split a genre so finely that if you use a certain type of bassline, its makes you look like a punk, but if you eq your bass another way, you're somehow a genius.

don't you think these statements are not only derrogatory to Nero, but to every producer out there who actual publishes there work? Thus potentially damaging an otherwise fragile enough market.

I accept your point about the heart bleed comments, its how i write and make no apologies for it. But as an ex journalist, tv producer, dj and producer....my heart bleeds to think that we now feel we have to attack an artist for using a certain type of bassline......and that so many want to discredit what it a nice and simple floor smasher for the masses.

Stop the hate, start the love!!!

No, the reason D'n'B died is because music became templated so any one braincelled being with a laptop could make it by just filtering white noise before every drop.... and that's how i feel this music is causing dubstep to be.
Everyone wants to make the next dancefloor destroyer and make it big but they should try and be original and forget about the dancefloor, if the music is good enough it'll stand up with out pill heads reaching for the lasers.

In response to your earlier post about saying "no says how they would remix it" well i wouldn't have tried to make in a bass bin blower, i would've done a retrospective 2step kinda mix with a funky bass line, not a wobble electro thing..... but my idea is too similar to the original and wookie remix... so fuck it, i wouldn't have bothered, and neither should nero.

That's where the problem is then, I think you'll find that Nero consciously make music for people to dance to, ie it's dance music.

Once you accept this there is no argument.

Some producers make music for people to go nuts to on the dancefloor, some people make music for people to lose themselves in an insular fashion, both equally as valid.

i think nero is true to form as is burial, bar 9, rob sparx, dmz.....everybody....they don't set out to write a smasher, they just naturally do.

every producer has his fan base, audience, and indeed every critic...but having read most of the articulated points i need to wrap this up and gho for a wank.

here are my final salient points.....

1. Out of the people that constructively or abusively criticised the track, who actually writes music for a living?

2. To the DJ's......do you know the difference between dj'ing professionally and being a professional dj?

3. We all know the record was huge and so will the remix, so who's right.....the thousands that will buy it, or the few that have slated? when everyone else is saying its good, and you're one of a few saying its bad, surely you must have the introspective to accept that maybe you got it wrong.

4. The original artist like it, the labels like it, the dj's like it, the crowd like it, and no one has come up with a better idea of a remix, which lest we forget will also serve as a reference point to the golden era some of you are saying this has been stolen from.

5. The total arguement itself is obsolete and pointless, and has served as a distraction away from my normal positively and open minded self.

Peace and fucking folks....been a pleausure.....keep up the hate!
