Bare crossover potential innit.
It's an alright track not as good as that other remix he's done with Plastiscian though.

When i realised that they were actually playing an old Grace tune on guitars i thought "hey thats novel". About 10 seconds later the novelty wore off.

wheres this skream mix then?

its a classic pub/6th form band move. like the punks who cover 'baby 1 more time'. too obvious to be funny...
i actually quite like the tune tho! not hrd the skream mix yet...

i love the grace original...not heard the Klaxons or the Skream mix...

Just have vague memories playing in my head here at work

I have not heard the skream mix so I cant really comment. His remixes are usually pretty good.

However, I think the Klaxons are shit and every tune of their I have heard has given me a headache. Not feeling the sound at all.

And I thought that the concept of Nu-rave was invented by Top Shop in a contrived attempt to get all the stnuc on Brick Lane to dress like complete twats.

I live in Bethnal Green so I have to see it every day.

a shit cover of a shit song
Its just a euphoric version of 'No Limit' by 2 unlimited

not heard the Skream Remix but if it is any thing like his recent run of releases then its bound to be sick.

so we hear dubstep is being played at the nu-raves, well the two have collided here explosively.

you just hurt my soul by stating this sad truth

innit

skream's an amazing producer, and the remix is good, but i personally would have liked to have seen him take dubstep down a different route, i find the whole 'grindie'/'nu rave' thing a bit annoying tbh

oh and wearing flurescent trucker hats or whatever doesn't necessarily make someone 'nu-rave' just so you know

Todd Edwards remixed a tune of theirs aswell......

who cares, its a good look that the opportunity is being given to dubstep producers and can only help in the growth of dubstep.

from a artistic side of thing, I have no problem with Skream doing this shit, he should have a clause to try whatever he likes considering hes such a huge part of the scene, from a completely selfish side of things, i'd rather keep very very very obvious fashion with very very very obvious art.

side note: Simon from the Klaxons lives three doors away from me, and where im sitting right now, his family fed my cat cream and she moved in with them!!!!!

edit: should read "keep away"

I think its awful. Truly awful. Doing covers/refixes of old euphoric/eurotrance tunes from the early/mid nineties isnt pushing the music forward, its looking backward, an exercise in dumb nostalgia - which is exactly what the "nu rave" nonsense is, a fifteen minutes of fashion, devoid of a real scene or people with enthusiasm for the music they're dancing to.

If Skream or others want to do that, then I guess its their perogative, but he's an excellent producer with a huge range of sounds and is perfectly capable of pushing the music forward (e.g. with something like 2-D he's gone down a bit of an electro path) in different and interesting directions without having a cheesy vocal hook so gurned up idiots can chant along to it and wave their glowsticks around.

The trap is that someone has a big dubstep hit with this kind of sample and thus a healthy scene becomes flooded with bandwagon producers doing the same thing, producing tunes for a new dumb market which likes the bass but also samples from Cotton Eye Joe, Pump Up The Jam, Rhythm Is A Dancer, Move Your Body, Insanity, and any other crap, long forgotten chart hit in the eurodance mould but which suddenly triggers a memory and thus accessability.

There's nothing worse than nostalgia in a music scene to strip it of any orginality. Boo!

it's an alright tune, i prefer the klaxons version tbh.

and i really don't think one little refix is going to change the aesthetic as much as a lot of people in this thread seem to think so.

lol @ 'electro' not being about nostalgia or trendiness...

(not saying skream's done it to be so, but more so directed at ur comments)

Hmm I kinda like the tune even though I don't really like the idea of it so in a way I shouldn't complain... But if this were to get big and skream became known for the remix as RobJC said then alls good with me... Personally hate the idea of dubstep/indie scenes colliding in honesty as I've got a bit of a problem with that scene and the 'trendy' crowd it brings with it...

A nice little earner...can't say I blame the bloke!

lol where can i hear this ?

see ;"Trendy cnuts"

Yes!!! You took the words straight out of my mouth.

wow, killer

I thought the Klaxons were shit when i first heard their cover of Kicks like a Mule but having since seen them live twice I think they are really fuckin good. They don't deserve a lot of the stick they get.

Worse live show I've seen in several years. They were late + scared + fucked up + sounded bad.

all the hate here really depresses me
