skream's remix was on daytime and nightime rotations...not only on kiss but radio 1 as well. i listen to the morning shows on the beeb. they cained the fuck of the remix, and the original got barely any play. again, hats to skream.

shit, he'll be earning some nice royalties off that

depends what was negotiated really, might have taken a flat fee - that is usually how most majors would do it - depends on your negotiating power really. Needless to say he has more then me

My hat's off to Skream for this one.

Great tune! I think it had alot to do with a timely release.

The B side MADE THE SINGLE. What are you smoking.

I work in a place where the single is sold

nobody asking for it knew who skream was when i mentioned he (being local) did the remix on the b-side

whether it's better or not people didn't buy it for the remix...

the album is in the top ten at the moment...do you think that's all down to the remix as well?

Regardless of whether the a or b side had the majority of sales skream was part of a single thats gone gold, thats a major achievement. Props is due

i'm prolly the .5

large up skream



big look for everybody

Yeah a massive achievement. Wonder if he was drinking Tetley's Gold whilst making that one in his studio?

big up SKREAM!!!!!

your killing it skream.Big up!

It's not just about if it was all over BBC radio one or kiss, think about those playing it out to a wider audience. Was all over NME. Regarding it being a top 10 track - I work for a media company and understand how digital distributors work. The remix was part of a bundle, whether you downloaded the remix or the original it still counts as a hit for that particular bundle - which is why it's in the top 10 in iTunes for a month or so.

I don't think La Roux would be as big as they are now (yes it's two people -technically at least) if Skream didn't do the remix. Everyone I've spoke to about it (unless they love the 80's) prefers the remix. It's the only version we bothered to queue on spotify.

The 400k is his remix alone. If someone bought the CD then that's 1 sale for each surely?

Skreamz remix accounted for 3/4 of the digital sales.

Big ups ollie heard about this on mista jams show! Massive for any dubstep artist to get this. im not the biggest fan of this tune but it goes off. I even heard 12 year old girls listening to this at the skatepark right after Jonas Brothers and yung jeezy

I haven't looked at figures and for the record prefer the remix but working in a shop and talking to customers in croydon i can only say that the name skream mystified everyone buying the single when i told them the remix was done by a local artist....im' not trying to diss him....i do all i can to promote and sell his cds and as you may know have ordered in every dubstep cd available and we sell more titles than oxford street as a result.....i don't get the mentality i really don't on this forum....it makes dubsteppers look bad.....how did it account for 3/4 of sales exactly?

was gonna do a remix but was jus beaten to it

good on him thts a good look

BIG UP skream !!
