Aiden Leslie - Trying To Leave Now

This is the latest single from the New York-based singer. Aiden's vocal style calls to mind Boy George, Andy Bell, and a little of The Human League. The song is really catchy. The original is an Electro Dance/Pop with a hint of Rock song.

There are many remixes of this by Orly Productions, Nick Harvey & Scott Aviance, Joe Mancuso, Joe C & David Petrilla, Jerome Farley & Floor One, and The Werkin' Brothers.

Orly Productions offer up a pretty 80's synthpop meets circuit mix. Nick Harvey & Scott Aviance's treatments are much harder with a nice dose of "Give It Up" beats sprinkled in. Their dub is an entirely different, percussion-laden production. Joe Mancuso's mix is circuit-oriented, starting off a bit lighter and building up to a more peak hour sound. Joe C & David Petrilla's mix is a chilled, funky house one. Jerome Farley & Floor One's is their usual well-done circuit mix that is equally club and radio-ready. The synthy Werkin' Brothers mix is also circuit-oriented.

All of the mixes are great, but the Nick Harvey & Scott Aviance and Jerome Farley & Floor One mixes are the best of the bunch.
