Hex Hector & Mac Quayle Remix Radio Edit 3:37
I finally heard the full radio edit and, altho the new vocals are appreciated (remind me the Xtina from his debut album (What A Girl Wants/I Turn To You)), the mix needs to grow on me, for now I only like how the chorus part sounds :/
Let's hope the other mixes are better :)

I love the new vocals on the bridge! And all the other new little bits and pieces used, but the bridge is what stands out the most for me.

The new vocals sound really great. :) Some of the vocals in the verses and pre-chorus don't sound that great though. Also during the chorus, it just doesn't feel natural in a few places. |

New vocals are great, but there are times when they're a bit loud for the music. The production sounds kind of... thin at parts.

The production works pretty well but sometimes it's hard to notice with Christina's over-the-top wailing, especially after the bridge. I wish she knew when to hold back at times. Hex & Mac did a great job with the song, though. Can't wait to hear the full mix!

The whole thing (new vocals included) is still pretty odd to me. Even her new vocals sound a bit disjointed at points with the production.

Loving this. Hex Hector's resurrection makes me feel 21 again. If he keeps working and Thunderpuss returns, I may have to start going out three times a week again.   :o |

The synth work during the chorus parts really sounds like Jason Nevins. If I didn't see Hex and Mac's names, I wouldn't have guessed that they did this.

Do you mind if I ask your age? I'm 29 so I spent my formative gay club years during the 1999-2002 Golden Age of Hex Hector & Thunderpuss. The synth work during the chorus parts really sounds like Jason Nevins. Nevins could never do Hex. Though my initial excitement has worn off just a bit, I await the full length, which will surely put any of that pretender's work to shame.  |

Some of the first songs I was drawn to were Mel c "I turn to u" kina "girl from the gutter" and Toni Braxton "Spanish guitar!" If I had come out now instead of 2000, I prob would hate dance music. I like about 5% of it now as opposed to 105% back then. If it wasn't for Tony and ralphi, Idk what I'd do now!!!!! |

I'm really not hearing anything spectacular out of the Hex/Quayle mix. Sounds pretty average to me.

I'm enjoying the Hex/Quayle mix for what it is. I think they were trying to make the radio mix a little more accessible to mainstream audiences for potential pop airplay, while still doing something a little bit clubby. The extended mix might be a little more club-friendly, but the dub is supposed to be more underground so I'd imagine that would be the version fully intended for the dancefloor.

Wow... The dub is AMAZING! It is really underground! Very dark! I love IT! Its nothing compared to the original Club Mix or the Radio Edit.

How much vocals are in the dub?? The 1st verse around minute 2. 2nd verse around 4'40''. No chorus. |

I like the dub version a little more. I wish it had more vocals.

I hope someone is getting to work on making a filtered acapella! Be funny if we got an acapella with the new vocals before we got one of the original.  |

I have worked with much worse before. There's some instrumental bleeding in. It gets worse around the start of the second verse. A really busy instrumental production could cover it up, but that would require more effort. Cutting it up a little helped. Thankfully there's little to no beat bleeding in. |

Okay finally heard these. The Club Mix's intro oddly makes me appreciate the mix more for some odd reason. Still not mind blowing, but not bad.
Hot Damn the dub makes me happy though.

The club mix is so underwhelming. The song definitely wasn't taken to the level where it could/should be taken.
I like the vocal edits on the dub. I wish it came down harder at parts though.

I'd have liked to hear more of the live drum loops that were running through the intro and outro of the club mix (not the 'Make Over' sample). A breakdown or something using those drums could be quite good.

Streamweaver also did a mix of this. It uses a filtered version of the original. The vocal stretch is much better than on the Hex & Mac versions. The production has the drama and emotion that the other mixes so desperately needed.

I was a bit underwhelmed with it at first, but it's grown on me a bit. The very short outro gets me every time, though. I will say the dub is slightly better than the club. I guess I was just hoping for more drama to the mix, I suppose.
I've yet to hear Steamweaver's, but if it's anything like his Russian Roulette, I'm sure to like.
