Original Song: "The Boys" by Girls Generation Original Copyright: ©2011 SM Entertainment Released: October 19, 2011 under SM Entertainment Original Producer: Teddy Riley Arranged by: Josh Shim Released: November 8, 2013 Key: F#m Original Tempo: 115 bpm Remixed Tempo: 130 bpm SHIMMixes Remix Series Release #: 01 I am here to announce the start of a new project under SHIMMixes--the "SHIMMixes Remix Series"! In this series, I will release my own versions of different K-Pop tracks, most which will feature a different feel from the original, and hopefully will pay justice to the original tracks. Through making remixes in this series, Ill work on my production skills, and try to reach my goal of improving in the process. I chose to do this song for the first release of this new series since it is not only my favorite Girls Generation track, but it was also a track that helped me realize how I wanted to "step up". Back when this was released in 2011, there was a Remix contest held by SM Entertainment, and I wanted to join so bad, but I didn know how to arrange something of my own then, so that was when I started to think about how I wanted to start making remixes of my own. After years of making mash-ups, I thought that it was time I learn something new, and at the same time, I started to want to do something of my own, since I realized that everything I did (mash-ups) was basically not mine (due to copyright), only the ability of making them is, thus I took interest in arranging music, and started learning earlier this year. I tried to learn how to operate on DAWs and for the past few months, Ive been really frustrated about how I suck so much when I made my early remixes, but then I tried to practice whenever I had time, and when I had a little confidence boost in my work, I tried to put in together a new remix the other day, which eventually became this remix! This remix of The Boys is actually the first remix I made that Im kind of happy about. I tried to make it not sound flat, so I put in a lot of elements in it, and tried to put in some energy in the arrangement. The original track was awesome and had a lot of "GG Swag" (haha) so I hope I brought in justice to that awesome original. I know I have a lot to work on, so hopefully Ill get to that! :) I hope you guys look forward to my next remixes under this series, and don forget to like, comment, and share with your fellow music and kpop lovers!
