Black Eyed Peas - The Time [Remixes]

[El Chiko Kevo]

Im expecting huge heavy hitters on this remix such a Afrojack, Sidney Samson, Chuckie etccc

Loving this Circuit House Mix

Very rarely do songs come so tacky and cheap. I expect a public apology very soon...but can we ever forgive them? The bile rising in my throat says no.

I think this track is a big mess. The beginning with the Dirty Dancing song was okay, but then it became very, very bad. I don't listen to the radio anymore.

It's borderline ignorant to imply that they couldn't easily pull a 180 next era and come out with something in the vein of Elephunk / Monkey Business or change direction all-together. They've had good material before, and they can do it again.

Neither do I. Why should we? A song like this is very good representation of what's currently going on with the majority of these increasing R'n'B come Dance acts - a certain sound or noise or melody emerges and becomes popular within the dance community which is then repeated ad nauseum by other dance producers. Then, when that said sound has become wholly irrelevant (the Black Eyed Peas are about 2 years late on the dutch train) it's adopted by mainstream who didn't understand the appeal in the first place and cheesed up to extreme amounts. The only reason anyone could like a song like this would be through ignorance of the genre it came from. Thanks to the internet, there's really no excuse for ignorance anymore; dance producers (most of them barely 18) are doing some amazingly unique and fresh things with sound atm and it's all readily available. No need to wait years to hear the same thing in an inferior product.

And yes, they should get back to making music they know something about and Guetta should never set foot in a studio again (whether he ever did though is questionable)...it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Dave Aude has remixed this.

Wonderful post. I wholeheartedly agree with it.

What a bunch of lactose intolerant whiners! Radio hasn't been this good in years! I am so glad that the Gangsta-grunge era is history. I remember whiners like some folks here running europop out of the US for about 10 years back when Aqua & the Vengaboys were around. The initial reaction to this particular song reminds me of when people griped about UB40's cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love," and then it was their favorite song ever about 2 months later.

Let me clarify; the musical environment has changed. The BEP, I’d imagine, think they’re being daring by pushing an underground/club sound to mainstream but the problem is that thanks to the internet and the rise of djing with mp3s they’re pushing a sound that has already been played in every club and featured on every blog. The popularity for this sound has fizzled; the audience exhausted. They may think that they’ve made this song ‘for the clubs’ but all the clubs have heard it before and better. So who exactly is their audience? Artists can’t get away with being so lazy anymore. That’s not to say pop can’t manufacture a good dance tune – cheese can be good (Party in the USA anyone?) or that the underground doesn’t exist (I’d bet that no-one here has heard of my breakthrough artist of 2010 Soundprank) but the timeframe from underground to commercial has lessened significantly. Will-I-Am, who I’m thoroughly convinced has no clue, is trying to please both and failing spectacularly (and collaborating with Guetta demonstrates he isn’t even trying that hard).

I love electropop. Not the US bastardization of it.

Just as I had predicted here is a remix by Afrojack

[Lovermaker]

I heard the Dave Aude Mix once again and I think it's fantastic!!! The production is totally different from the original version of the song, it doesn't use the "rap" part, just the first verse, but it's still good.

At first I wasn't feeling the mix, I thought the production was great but the vocals didn't fit really good with it, but now I love it, something different of what he has been doing lately!

The remixes

Afrojack Remix 07:56
Felguk Remix 05:19
Dave Audé Club Remix 07:17
Wideboys Full Club Remix 05:23
Zedd Remix 06:01

Dave Aude, Afrojack and Zedd Remixes are my favorites!!!

Zedd mix sounds like something Skrillex would have done! Afrojack is kinda similar than the normal version, but hotter, and Aude is... AUDE! LOL

P.s. Lenny B has remixed this as well, you can hear/download the mix on his soundcloud page:

Afrojack mix



:O :O :O :O SO GOOD

[AP]

The Wideboyz mix is my LIFE.

I love the production on the Dave Aude mixes, however, the vocals totally ruin it. The vocals just don't mesh well with the production. Even though just the Dirty Dancing parts are used, they still don't fit.
