It kind of is though?? It falls into the 'why fucking bother' bucket as far as remixes go - seriously, just plonking with the levels and taking out the most iconic parts of the song? He turned a hardass rock song with genuine swagger into something boring with no highlights - I don't know how one can do that, maybe it counts as a skill in some circles.
It's awful, but on reflection I'd lean towards TQ's attitude on this. I was just a bit sickened, kid needs to keep his crayons off of the classics.
If I could settle on a subject matter I'd actually go for it, haha. I cringe when I remember that I posted this thread, but it really got to me - the guy made Heartbreaker *boring*. How does one do that??

All part of my three step program...
Step 1 - never leave your mother's basement
Step 2 - download Garageband and think you're suddenly Quincy Jones
Step 3 - spend ten minutes on a song between Haagen Dazs servings and think you've improved upon a classic
^ see how that works?

Ouch. Why would you think that? Kacio's stuff isn't too bad :)
Because his remixes are painful to listen to. His editing techniques and penchant for overlaying different song samples that don't even fit in the same key leave a lot to be desired.

It's quirky :p
i'd have said it's "QUIPPY" - a hybrid of quirky and crappy
wow, an "only deities posting" topic !! :-)
the total sum of all your combined posts is 61623, guys (now, as I'm writing; it will eventually grow for sure)
No other QZ 1-page topic can beat that !
and yes ... that Led Zep mix sucks !
+ + + +
ps. so sorry for being mere "royalty" :-(
Aside from the weird off tempo insertions of "heartbreaker" there was little to distinguish it from just a bad mixing board version of something.
Definitely weakened the impact of the song... but I'm thankful it wasn't some shit like was common in the 90's.... some Euro trash remix featuring an eighth note counting synthetic bass drum with some chord changing garbage swirling around while the song still held its original key. Two things stepping over each other like trash.
Just for caution I won't listen to anymore of his remixes
