DJ Escape actually played a mix of it at Dallas Pride in September and it was awesome. It totally took me by surprise. Not sure who's it was. It was hot!

Mixes of "I Look To You" by Johnny Vicious, Dio, Giuseppe D, and DJ Paulo were sent out today, as were new mixes of "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" by Junior Vasquez and Jonathan Peters.

digitally delivered:
Johnny Vicious Club Mix (9:08)
Johnny Vicious Warehouse Mix (8:53)
Johnny Vicious Warehouse Dub (5:20)
Giuseppe D Club Mix (7:38)
Dio Club Mix (7:54)
DJ Paulo vs Ridney and James Talk Mix (8:15)
bonus mixes:
Jonathan Peters Club Mix (9:36)
Junior Vasquez Big Room Mix (8:37)
Junior's Drama Intro Mix (8:05)
Junior's Alternate Demo Mix (8:53)
So far, after skimming thru most of the remixes I'd have to say the standout winner is Guiseppe D's mix. Beautiful and lots of synths, chords, music, great buildups, pianos, absolutely divine. Johnny Vicious' club mix has a beautiful first verse and buildup, but then ruins it with electro crap. All the Junior mixes of IDKMOS sound the same to me, and not in a good way. Actually scratch that, the Jr's Drama Intro Mix is an off-key tragic mess, the other 2 are fine. The Dio Club Mix is better than I thought it would be - lots of synths and chords and stuff. Jonathan Peters' mix is a triumph from the very first note - the rearranging he did of the chorus structure was damn impressive, and the overall sound reminded me of the JP I've known and loved since the late 90's. All in all this is a very generous remix package, very unexpected and I'm hoping come Monday morning they'll make this available on Masterbeat or iTunes for her fans.

I received the mixes as well. I'm eagerly anticipating the Tony Moran remix of I look to You.
I didn't like Jonathan Peter's remix as much as Michael did above in the postings. Michael- I was thinking a 90s JP mix like "I believe In Love" or "My love is your love." Maybe it will grow on me.
I'm just thankful that these remixes were released. Thanks, Arista!

p.s. And the Junior Big Room mix is done surprisingly well, but forgettable. We need the Moran Circuit Anthem treatment ;)

I like the Giuseppe D mix the most too. The pianos that come in when the vocals do are so perfect.
For IDKMOS, I like the Junior Big Room and Alt mixes. Not feeling the Drama Intro one. I edited out all the IDKMOS vocals and kept some of the instrumental parts and INRBIO vocal bits to salvage it.

I'm just thankful that these remixes were released. Thanks, Arista! But that's the thing - they haven't been, at least not on a wide scale. Only a few dozen people were sent these directly from the label/A&R guy, but knowing how the internet works these days, they'll be all over the "blog sites" within days I'm sure. I thought Masterbeat.com was supposed to fill that void - make it easy for the Whitney fans who AREN'T on some exclusive DJ-list to purchase remixes, so they don't have to feel like thieves downloading them for free on some shady website. Plus, the label gets to enjoy some $ incoming profit. As of now, they've earned exactly zero dollars from this, the sooner they put the mixes up on iTunes or Masterbeat.com, the sooner the money will start flowing in. I still don't understand why this can't be done faster. On another note, a super-bonus mix of Million Dollar Bill was also digitally delivered, called the Frankie Knuckles Directors Cut Privé Dream Mix (6:57). It's identical to the Dub that was released a few weeks back, except a piano layer added in - sounds brilliant for us house fans out there =D |

You do realize the songs are in 2 completely different keys, right? IDKMOS is in F# and INRBIO is in Cm....whatever tone-deaf engineer came up with that combination for Junior has no business in music. The two songs clash about as bad as oil and water. Plus that mix has these weird sections where the mastering sounds like it's about 48 kbps mp3, and the synths are jumpy and glitchy in certain portions. Overall, an embarassment of a mix - it doesn't deserve to have Junior's name on it. |

I don't have the proper musical theory knowledge that I should have when doing music production. |

Ouch!! You guys are harsh! I don't come around here often, but I'm glad that you guys take an interest at all. The Drama Intro was a quick mix we did for Junior's birthday back in August. Hosh wanted us to turn in whatever version Junior played on his birthday, and that was it. (He also played a mash-up that Quasi/Billy and John Michael gave him.) It was fun, we did it the day of the party. Later, Junior and I re-worked our mix as a main pass and handed it to Razor 'n Guido who should be rightly credited on the release for their re-working and mixdown. They are two incredibly talented and underrated guys who always Do It Properly. Since all the rough passes are slipping out, let me stir it up a little more with this one: www.mediafire.com/file/mnyj22qzmmnNever finished, same vox samps, but a different sound. Best, Darren You do realize the songs are in 2 complete different keys, right? IDKMOS is in F# and INRBIO is in Cm....whatever tone-deaf engineer came up with that combination for Junior has no business in music. The two songs clash about as bad as oil and water.

there is a thread for "i didn't know my own strength"....this one is for "i look to you" However, the B-side of I Look To You is more IDKMOS remixes - so this thread is the best place for comments about the new mixes. |

Most of the promo mixes of "I Look To You" (plus their edits) are now available on iTunes: (Johnny Vicious Warehouse Radio Mix) 4:08 (Johnny Vicious Warehouse Club Mix) 8:52 (Johnny Vicious Warehouse Mixshow) 5:50 (Johnny Vicious Club Radio Mix) 3:52 (Johnny Vicious Club Mixshow) 6:06 (Johnny Vicious Club Mix) 9:08 (Christian Dio Radio Mix) 4:01 (Christian Dio Mixshow) 5:51 (Christian Dio Club Mix) 7:53 (Giuseppe D. Radio Mix) 3:47 (Giuseppe D. Club Mix) 7:39 (Giuseppe D. Mixshow Mix) 5:52 ....with a weird pricing structure. All the full-length mixes are 99¢ but the radio edits are $1.29! I still bought 'em though *lol* Looks like DJ Paulo's mix and JV's Warehouse Dub didn't make the final cut. The remix EP's for Million Dollar Bill & I Didn't Know My Own Strength were released too - but I'll save that for their appropriate threads  |

Hopefully it will leak eventually. I love this song and would love to hear Tony's take on it. |
