(Sorry big edits...apologies on the 20+... Trying to discombobulate my brain-fog-riddled thoughts)
Oh shit! Context fail, sorry! Older remixes of mine ventured TOO far apparently, and some of them were pretty avant-garde (the first few sucked pretty bad production and composition, so I'd be disingenuous if I said they deserved to be passed), this Umaro Remix was probably a bad example, just pointing out that this remix was the last that I really tried to innovate big time... There was a non-extended version of this remix that was just not up to snuff production wise and it was NO'd. And I agreed with the consensus with the J's. Anyways, thanks for listening to my rambles. Thankfully, we still hear a lot of good music passing the gate, so... IDK. Just get good production, THEN try to innovate (that's my takeaway) because irrc, production was also a huge barrier. The other platitude is don't submit and just do your own thing. No one is forcing us to. Haha.
Maybe I'll PM you my 'better' contentious entries.
