<p>The remix was much more banging.  A couple of BPM faster and with much tuffer beats, this was aimed squarely at the dancefloor.  I found a sample of some crazy voodoo type guy chanting some incomprehensible nonsense, so chopped it up and laid it over the beats &#8211; giving a slightly tribal and haunting quality to the intro.  Then the big bassline comes in with the stab and sets up a nice rolling groove.  A small section of my vocal from the original was used and filtered in from afar.  Gradually coming into focus until the breakdown, where we get a little bit more of the vocal before we build up and drop back into the groove.  A spacey, meandering keyboard solo on the Nord takes us along to the end of the track.</p>
<p>To go with the <a href="http://www.altus-music.co.uk/music_/change your cover/Change your cover - tuffer mix.mp3">Vocal mix</a>, i also made the <a href="http://www.altus-music.co.uk/music_/change your cover/Change you cover - tuff 303 dub.mp3">Tuff 303 Dub</a>.  This one has absolutely no vocals in it and instead has a 303 part that I made using AudioRealism Bassline and chopped up and filtered to give it more feeling.  I think that it works really well and keeps a nice acid vibe running through so you don&#8217;t miss the vocal at all.</p>
<p>These mixes were played out quite a bit by some credible DJs but we didn&#8217;t sell that<br />
many records.  However it was signed to two compilation albums:-</p>
