Is there a nightcore song that is actually any better than the original?
The only one I've ever heard is Freak Like Me by Hollywood Ending, but that seems to be the only genre it remotely works for, and most other songs just sound like a mess.
Nightcore taking me back in time, back then it is kind of "easy" to find nightcore edit on youtube. Although I don't listen on those edit to me it is relic from the past :p
I know, but seeing the Nightcore uploads that are just lazy speed and pitch up edits of his early works like Pika girl, that get 30m views and his own OG upload is 3m makes me as an wannabe artist sad
It's DJ Satomi with an i. I like his Waves nightcore mix so much I went and found the original and applied the nighcore myself to get it in higher quality lol. I haven't heard of S3rl so I'll check them out.
Get that shit the fuck out of my playlists, if you've got the original then play it ffs. And not just the second half either.
I'm already bracing for Love Is a Long Road, but just the first 90 seconds of it because that's what was in the GTA6 advert and that's all these people have the attention span for.
There's this genre of music in Brasil called funk (don't confuse it with american "Kung-fu fighter" funk, is way different). And people do "mixes" where they slow down and add reverm to the songs, but now the own funk djs are releasing song that are slowed and revermed from the lets go, without releasing the original song. Idk what's the idea behind that, im supposed to look for a speed-up non reverm mix now. Also, those slow down reverm version suck big time, except when are done by actual Djs in parties, there are pretty cool cause you can feel the bass making vibrations on your chest.
Brazillian funk cames from the 90s Miami bass, it had evolved a lot over time to what is now with a lot of different local variations. You can't barely recognize the original funk for what is popular now.
Looking for phonk it's dosen't really sound close to what I call funk imo, but there was this other video whit "Brazilian phonk" that is what I call paulista's funk, and what im listening more nowdays that I moved from Rio to São Paulo and I'm getting to know the local techno/funk scene. If you like phonk, listen to DJ K's Panico no Submundo album, its basically phonk, but still have the base Brazilian funk rhythm.
After this conversation I started to listen to Brazilian Phonk and its fucking lit, already went to a couple of parties with phonk that were great and everyone who I showed them tell me that it really cool. Thank you!
I would guess that, after working on perfecting a song for weeks or months, it feels very weird to completely change it in 2 minutes by applying 2-3 transforms/filters and releasing that as a separate version
I've seen more and more artists doing this kind of thing themselves lately. I think in the past artists were more upset with people making more successful versions of their songs just by speeding it up and found it would not be as intended if they released it like that themselves.
Plus, saturation is probably something to consider, if you make a sped up, a remix and whatever else for every single song you release your original, thought out pieces will get a little lost in the noise.
Yeah what I was thinking of was more on your last point. Especially with digital releases. Seeing three songs back to back for every new track might be okay for legit music push to the world, but it would look like notification hell.
Honestly I think the larger part of it is cultural tradition. How dare you listen to my music and lyrics in the way you like it. It's meant to be this way!
At least one did, it was a great clusterfuck of who ripped who and back n forth versions:
Oliver Tree - Jerk (Sped Up)
Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You (Sped Up)
Southstar - Miss You (sped up)
Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You
Southstar - Miss You
Oliver Tree - Jerk ----------------- original
I find a lot of music in Instagram reels that I wouldn't have otherwise. I really don't mind if there're remixed versions especially if it only helps to bring more views to the original artists. Obviously I'm not for it if it takes away views but I don't see any data that supports this.
As much as I find it true however this more likely happen on popular/pop songs, as I never played easy-to-listen-modern-popular genre and earliest I find these stuffs around 2021 when I had to play this "already mixed playlist" for our workshop stereo.
I accept that internet has changed maybe because i'm observant ever since I jumped into internet back in early 2000s :)
