HOFA hosts every year a (re)mix contest where people can create a mix of “Down on Earth It’s Christmas Time” from Jochen Sachse or create a remix of it.
I decided to create a remix only. I struggled with the genre rock. It is not my favour. Also it had signature changes within the verses to 3/4 and back to 4/4.
One of the conditions was that it should be “radio-compatible”. So I tried to create a dance version. But I was not very happy with it.
One day I listened to already submitted remixes and thought I have no chance. I thought that I need to create something different that stands out from the rest.
I didn’t give a shit about the rule and created a hardstyle remix.
