This dude totally stole my idea!… and just about a few million others. I’ve always wanted to remix classic works. But it’s all about pulling it off, something I haven’t done… yet, and Wolfgang Gartner has done just that. Throughout the piece I get a little lost at times, but I quickly catch up – he seems to stray from the original a little too much for my liking.
Bassnectar introduced me to this dubstep, electro, house-type music. I’m really starting to dig the glitchy reverberations that I’ve never really heard before. I’m still fairly new to the genre/various sub-genres, but it sure makes for good workout music.
Anyone got some suggestions on good workout music?

Mix is good but couldn’t he have chosen a less cliched song to use?
He could have chosen something more “obscure” (by modern 21st cent standards, almost nothing is obscure to true classical enthusiasts) and it would sound wholly original then, if not actually being so.
I think he did it because it’s so well known. People love remixes of the shit they love/know.
I agree, though, mixing up unknown classics would sound more original, but I’m sure he has that in the works, especially considering his name.
I’m loving it anyway!
