Skream - Midnight Request Line (Zinc Remix)

I was checking out the Bingo Beats site today, and I saw this on his chart. Anyone heard it? Zinc has been mostly miss for me these days, but I'm still extremely curious as to what this may sound like...

I can only imagine that he's done a DnB remix perhaps?

Yah, figured it would probably be on a DnB tip. If it's anything like his remixes of "Eskimo" or "Sound of the Future", I wouldn't expect too much.

There's some kind of podcast mix the site....checking that now to see if "Request Line" is on there...

EDIT: Yup, it's on the podcast mix. Not nearly as bad as I thought it might be....sounds almost like he was channeling Amit on this one.

The remix is about 20 minutes into the mix. He plays the original afterwards, too.

skream dropped this for zinc to check out at fwd. got a pretty good reaction and raged up the dance. unusual for youngsta to drop something like this.

i'm still not sure about the track but it certainly seemed to have a positive reaction on the fwd crowd. some people hate it though.

Heard it got a good response when he dropped at drum rave other week (can't remember which rave! J Feaver?? Soz, too lean..) Can't wait to hear this at a DnB dance.... Jus annoying as most headz at a rave (E.G Skibba/Shabba lovers..) are prolly gonna think this is a Zinc production.

I think the remix is good. certainly made the tune his own (as simon cowell would say!!). Nice to hear him giving props to dubstep and dropping the original too. big up zinc!

I actually like the remix quite a bit. When I first read the title of the post, I was pretty scared to hear it, but he did right by me...

so basically its a rmx for people who don't have the attention span to listen to nything below 174

That wasn't too bad actually. Nice to see he kept the dubstep influence in the beats, in any case.

Just heard it - really cool! Well done Zinc, first thing I've liked by him in ages.

Meh. I think a lot of people will be put off just because it's by Zinc, expecting it to be a stupid over the top clownstepping wobbler... but it's not like that at all.

Well..... dont get me wrong - i mean - im into dnb, i like amit, im into dubstep - but im not really into this.

Not to be a naysayer -its not that bad!!, but i think just because he does the classic Digital/newer Amit beat doesnt mean ill like it. Its good someone is trying to do some cross-genre stuff, but i dont think theres enough meat and potatoes, kinda gimmicky sounding to me

I'm a huge Zinc fan....but I'll admit that his output over the last 2 years or so has been pretty bleh....This tune was a welcome break from all that, however
