i know the monaco shows are already circulating and all and
it was reported that the DANCE 4 ME remix was played over the
PA several times before the 1st show started.

however, if i've heard correct, the song has not been included
on any of the circulating monaco bootlegs.

were any orgers lucky enough to be in monaco and did you hear
the remix?

if so, what does it sound like? is it very different? is it an
extended version?

please let it be an 8 minute extended version a la scarlet pussy

i've heard the supposed 'single edit' that's out there and that
surely has to be a fake. the editing is very badly done and it's
-at least imo- most certainly nothing prince did himself.

Aha. Haven't heard the 'single edit' yet, thanks for saving me the time!

Prince hasn't done a decent remix since the "Come On" Maxi-Single in my opinion, and hasn't done any remixing at all since TGRES Maxi-Single and "Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic"

Boy, I took those remixes for granted - some of my favorite songs are Prince remixes (e.g. Space Universal Love Remix, Violet the Organ Grinder, etc...

My theory: Prince has gotten on this "my songs are my children" B.S. and therefore doesn't think any of his songs need any altering from their present state, it'd destroy their sanctity. Oh well - we've gotten more remixes from him than most artists so I'll be happy.

i dunno about that. he's rerecorded "sexy mf" and a mash-up version of "sexy dancer" that he also plays live. of course, he hasn't released these tracks. but there's also the matter of him re-recording "the dance" and the song from the one nite alone album. i think he's okay with altering his songs as long as he's the only one doing it.

no...maybe someday.

I'm beginning to think the "Dance 4 Me(Remix)" is the org version of a unicorn. Everyone claims to have seen it or know where it is but no one can produce it for verification. There hasn't even been an offical single released yet and all the talk is about the REMIX.

You can't make an omelet until someone gives you some eggs!

Anxiety said:

Good point re: these songs. Perhaps he now sees his "remixing" of songs as so important that he no longer considers them "remixes" to be included in a single, but worthy of inclusion on a whole other album.

i've not heard the whole remix but the clips on the making of video suck, not my thing at all, i'm not a dance/club music fan. hey ho

Well, I've not only heard both the Icon mix and Chocolate Scratch N' Sniff mix (which mixes "Chocolate Box" and "Dance 4 Me"), but I also have them on my iPod. Haven't seen an actual physical copy of the single, but the mixes ARE out there.

PicassoFace said:

and which is fanmade.

I've got the icon remix and it's ok, nothing great or to get excited about.

I'd much rather listen to the original which is one of his finest recording ever.

So it makes perfect sense that I'd prefer it to the "professional" Icon mix. Actually, I think both versions take a lot away from the original, which is damn-near perfect. But of the two mixes, I like the Scratch N' Sniff better.

PicassoFace said:

I'd like to thank everyone that has heard my remix and liked it. I just wish Prince had heard it and loved it, I could do with the money!

alpha1999 said:

... wait ... hold up ... Where's your mix Alpha?

I've heard the Icon remix and the Dominatrix remix. I liked the later most.

PurpleLove7 said:

Mine is the Chocolate Scratch & Sniff Mix, sorry I should have made myself clearer.

Remix sux. Stick with the original.

Thanks for the constuctive critisism! If remixes suck then I suppose that the album version of Gett Off is no good as it was a remix of the original promo 12"

The version he played on Le Grand Journal smokes the hell out of the record.

alpha1999 said:

I said Remix...Singular..Not Remixes..Plural.
The reMIX of "Dance 4 me" SUX.
Also, I didnt realize I could give "constructive critisism" to anyone but the creator. So this must be Prince Im responding to. GREAT NEWS EVERYONE! Prince DOES visit the org! Whats Up P?

ronnwinter said:

The creator of one of the remixes listed above is me, the creator of the original track is Prince. I hope that cleared it up for you.

alpha1999 said:

Well..Sorry if I offended you, But I can only go by the remix Ive heard, which is only one. Im not sure if it was yours or not. The one I heard, was not good at all. Dont know how to say to make it better except to start all over.
Again, hard to say if its an insult to yours, because I have no idea if its yours or not.
I was actually under the impression Prince himself was doing a remix(or co-creating one), hence my sarcasm.

it's available on Itunes in the UK - i think the new itunes is universal now?

ronnwinter said:

No worries I understand that not everyone will like my remix, or the other ones that are availiable.
As for Prince doing a remix himself, I'd love to hear that as it would blow the others out of the water, his remixes are the best imo.

Yep, got it on my Ipod and I love the pace of it.

alpha1999 said:

Yea.. I actually made an attempt at remixing Dance 4 me with Sexy Dancer. Im no pro, but I discovered alot of potential for that combination. If you have the time, maybe you can give it a shot.

Ok...I just heard the Chocolate Scratch n Sniff remix.... MUCH MUCH better than the one I heard! Please Accept my appologies! GREAT JOB!

I've heard it and like it only because on the other spector of music, I am a huge lover of the teckno sound (Tiesto); if mifht make it in certain clubs. athough its too soon to tell.

Many thanks mate, I didn't think the one you heard could have been mine
