I ended up with two tracks from the Prince Controversy sample; which underlines its versatility. This version of Controversy has a gorgeous breakdown and piano work by ADHD. Thereafter the Clapcat retouch has a new drumline, samples from the original Prince track and from another remix and several other samples and one-shots.


Controversy

Another rambling mix, keeping things quick and breezy. Track selection doesn't always run together, but hey - we're having fun, right?

Hugo Cantarra's Edit was the basis for this rerub and all the credit is his and Claptone's. This version is shortened, chopped up and heavily processed so it can be played in sets.


No Eyes (feat. JAW)

Who doesn't love London Grammar? Good lord they have made some fab stuff. Most of it not for Clapcat dancefloors though, except [ARTY's remix of Hey Now](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzo1_maqV_w) which is quite something. This version is a beefing up of Samuel Sonder's lovely work. It's been cut down, redrummed had plenty of FX (love the thunder!) and uses Kolsch's remix also.


Baby It's You

Looking at the tracklist, this looks sickenly commercial. Something you might hear at Yates' or Chicagos' party bar on a Friday night. Well, yes, but no. It was made for my brother, who at the time celebrated his 40th birthday and the idea was to visit as many eras as possible through his life. It didn't really work like that, but it is eclectic enough. All the tracks are not the originals; not a one. Each one is beefier and housey to at least bring some credibility. Don't get me wrong, it's cheese madness here, but it's not completely cheesy.

I don't like some of the tracks I picked; looking at you Visage and Sting. I don't think they fit. Also, the George Michael accapella isn't in key with the intro - this is because it was two separate tracks pushed together live and only after starting did I realise they didn't really go; alas!

You Don't Know Me

I found this short hook from [@emmawho](https://clapcat.s3.dualstack.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/video/take-me-with-you.mp4) who sung a really punchy 80s-style snippet called Take Me With You, and with some tinkering and faffery, it turned into this London Grammer-esque cover. I'd like to think I've done it justice. I think my only regret is there should be more of a drop as Emmawho had created on the second line. Alas.

I enjoy the last 8 bars with the stabbing synth.

Lyrics:
Take me with you
The words are falling out
Say it, if you feel it
Say it, if you mean it
Save me from the feeling
Poison in your mouth

Stay here

Cos you know better than I do
That you've got the remedy
And I know how to get to you
I've got the clarity
You know better than I do
You've got the remedy
I've got the clarity

Ooo ooo ooo

Take Me With You

I think this song lends itself to a liquid drum and bass remix, so I made one...
