Because the original song of this song is too outstanding, it is not easy for me to like the remixed works. There are too many people who have remixed this song, including famous DJs, producers and excellent musicians. I only like two of them. The three versions are still unable to keep up with the original work. The song has a unique and unique temperament, so it is a very difficult work to transform and must retain a considerable degree of the beauty and texture of the original song. You use the disco style It perfectly interprets this song. The luxurious orchestral arrangement brings out the elegance and nobility of the song itself, but sweeps away the coldness of the original song and adds a passionate rhythm. The sexy style is just right, not too much and not too little, which makes me involuntarily dancing, I think you have given us a very advanced demonstration
I’m absolutely blown away by this comment. I’m not one who’s normally lost for words, but I am after reading that. Thank you for taking time out of your day to write such a touching, thoughtful and eloquent comment. I’m very grateful for it. All the best -Paul :)
@@john26262 I have a problem with people who just throw a drum loop over an original track and call it a remix and get 50k views, and that's happened plenty with this track online. I wanted this remix to sound like the Pet Shop Boys, Daft Punk and Chic had spent a day in the studio to cook something up, then they got 'Dimitri From Paris' to remix it. I think I failed miserably. That being said, its by far the best remix I've ever made. There's 20 years of self taught production skills gone into this, and it sounds really polished and well balanced compared to my earlier work. Still not musically good enough for my own self imposed high standards though, but I suppose nothing I make ever will be.
Yes, Paul!! Remixes are often “hmmm lemme press Samba on my radio shack keyboard over the track and that outta do it!” Thank you for always keeping true to the original songs! ❤
Beside the Official pet shop boys versions of west end girls i only appreciated the work of Sasha. ' til i discovered yours . 2 différent styles but keeping the essence of the original. Encore bravo 👏🔥

No, Thank you Robbie! You've made my day with this post, All the Disco best to you, and thank you. This remix was actually 5 years in the making with lots of 'stop/starts' in the process... It will never be good enough, but I gave it my best shot. that's why it took me so long. That's why 'm thrilled if anyone likes it.
Legit better than the OG! Already added it to my playlist for the ‘24-‘25 ski season. Yeah, i work at a ski resort and I get the mountain pumped n feelin it on the daily!
Decent 'edit' of Bobby Orlando's original mix for PSB before they re-recorded it and it became a hit. Far cry from what i would consider a 'remix', but good nonetheless. Enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
I love ❤️ the video (it's not a good idea to piss off granny since she was known to get down and dirty at Studio 54). It was a gnarly experience though just to get to the west end, especially when I was built to last (where's the disco on the dead east end walls ?)
You should reach out to Simon Dunmore of Defected Records to get this released on his label, this remix would fit perfectly on the dancefloor at one of his Glitterbox Parties, well done mate 😎👍
Thank you so much! That is my musical lineage, from being a teen into 'Soulful House', to being in my early 20's into Disco House, to being in my late late 30's and to right now, in my mid 40's and being into 'Nu Disco'. You just defined this remix perfectly in terms of what I wanted it to sound like. Unfortunately, I don't think its good enough to grace a Glitterbox Party, but, it was made with everything I had to do so. Thank you for putting a big :) on my face and all the best -Paul
@@paulhelsby don’t hold yourself back!! You have absolutely nothing to loose to just send it to him, or even better if you are in the area drop by, introduce yourself and hand it over in person. The worst thing that can happen is a little rejection and that wouldn’t be the end of the world, would it!?…So go for it! That’s how everybody else does it. Take a chance to get people to dance, to your track! 👍👍👍👍👍
@@makkan4353 I'm not holding myself back. I just know my level. Ive sent so much music off over the last 20 years to every label I've ever adored and aside from a polite few took the time to empathetically decline,, I've never even got a reply back from the majority including Simon's labels... He bought 'Soulfuric' of which to me is my generations equivalent to 'Stax' , 'Tamela', and 'Salsoul' labels in the history of soulful dance music, but alas... I know my lane in music.... and in life, and i'm content with it. Its not good enough, mate, that's life :)
not too keen on the vocoder bit. bit corny what it says. don't think the remix needs it as it is great as it is. can you do a mix removing it then it is perfect!!

I have always thought that the original version produced by Bobby Orlando is the best. However I don't have a problem with some of the remixes either.

This is fantastic. CAN YOU DO A MIX'S OF "SUBURBIA" or "OPPORTUNITES" AT SOMETIME. AS I AM SURE THEY WILL FANTASTIC ALSO.
This one is the end of the road for PSB remixes. Thank you for the suggestions though :)
