It was done by the producer Icon - as the name suggests. Here is a link to his Twitter page: http://twitter.com/IconAlexander and on August 20th he tweeted this: "If your wondering were I've been.. In the studio doing exclusive remixes for PRINCE. It's 4:00 am and I'm still on the grind! stay tuned:-)" this suggests to me that he is also responsible for the other remixes that are on the single. [Edited 9/4/09 8:09am] That explains the looped nature of the music bed. | |

http://www.tranceawards.com/ I wonder if Prince listens to these remixes. I can just imagine him at 51 - in the midst of a midlife crisis - listening to this pile of turd. | |

I love how it's mostly love or hate.
Personally I've not been interested in this type of remix from any artist since my clubbin' days (the 90's!  ).
Back then I always wished he'd hand his singles over to other producers (Vasquez and such) who would've produced mixes that would actually get played at clubs. (The only I can remember hearing a handful of times was Gett Off, and I might have requested it once or twice  ).
So I guess I love it cuz it takes me back.  [Edited 9/4/09 8:33am] | |

"Morris Hayes and Co-Founder of Icon Collective, David Alexander met in 1988 as Morris was leaving for Minneapolis to join Prince’s band. David Alexander spent 2 weeks studying under Morris and preparing to fill his shoes as keyboardist for the Austin Band, “The Bizness”. It was the beginning of their careers as future musicians, artists and producers. 20 years later, Morris Hayes and David Alexander reunite again to bring Icon Collective the most innovative approach to Music Production, enabling young aspiring artists to live creative artistic lifestyles. As and Advisory member of IC, Morris Hayes will share his insights on music production, artist development and industry wisdom with the Collective, keeping Icon Collective’s curriculum relevant and current."

I would personally have liked a heavy House remix, and frankly, this remix does nothing 4 me.
I could've done something that would put that 2 shame. It's kind of generic. I'm thinking the "tribal drum" remix will be more 2 my taste... "He's a musician's musician..." |

lol
this is sooooo lame-should've got the guy that remixed the future in i bet he did it on a lap top using reason-smokin a joint-uphill-in the snow-backwards 
sounds worse than what students do the first time you let em' loose in a studio or is it a Yamaha home keyboard like a PSR1 demo track with P's vox dubbed on MIND YOU-I hate that crap felix the cat dance stuff too thats just surfaced-mabey you only enjoy this kind of rubbish on an e or three-gurning to the funk | |

William Orbit got credit for that but I believe that Mark Moore (of S'Express) did most of the work on it. Mark is dope. He's been working with a band called Ping Pong Bitches, and I really dig their track "The Beast". Anyhoo, for those of you not digging this remix, Icon just confirmed to me that this is the only one he has done as of yet. So, since the promo disc is already circulating - the Tribal Drum and Dominatrix mixes must have been done by other people. |

Impressive? It took less than 5 minutes 2 create this remix. You might know this and that might affect your opinion of it. How long something takes to write/paint/produce/etc or how simple or complicated the process doesn't have to have anything to do with its appeal to its audience on a personal level. | |

I'm a 20 year old suburban white producer and I could've done a way fucking better job than this... this is the most generic, 90s sounding piece of shit remix I've ever heard
edit: and it concerns me that Prince heard this and thought it was cool [Edited 9/4/09 14:09pm] | |

How long something takes to write/paint/produce/etc or how simple or complicated the process doesn't have to have anything to do with its appeal to its audience on a personal level. On a personal level, as you correctly stated, and feeling-wise, it's mostly true. But when we're talking about the art of making music, the evolution of a chord, a lyric, all the thoughts and creativity behind it (which is also something we love Prince for, isn't it?), it can be taken into count how easy it is to do something. The reason why I don't respect most of the chart bands/singers today isn't just the crap lyrics, production and overall message, but mainly the superficial and ridiculous songwriting behind all of that! | |

Here's another Icon tweet:
The Dance4Me Remix I did for Prince will be available very soon so stay tuned. Video of the Remix Session is in the works If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
