Original post:
Welcome to the voting round of battle 16.
It's hard to believe these monthly battles have been going continuously for a year and four months! We've had some ups and downs - *in terms of numbers of entries - but my hope is that many of the new members see how fun and beneficial it is to take part and begin to submit tracks as their confidence stats to grow.*
On to the tracks...
Firstly, a big thanks to @hansjbs (reigning champ from battle 15) for hosting this month's challenge, and for finding an awesome acapella for us to remix. I still don't know what the original version of this song sounds like, but I have a feeling every one of the 6 remixes below sounds better to my ears.

@tk32 Congatulations!
Congratulations @tk32 and well done to everyone.
Just in case anyone was curious, here’s a quick breakdown of how simple my winning entry actually was:
Thanks for the breakdown @tk32 ! Did you do any automation or other tricks to spice up your track? Arrangement tips? Looks like you start on bar 2, and some of your patterns overlap. Any comments on that? =D
The overlaps are purely because some of the vocal lines start before the downbeat (as in “I’m cool with... dancing on my own” - the word ‘dancing’ is on the beat)
Starting on bar 2 was probably an accident, but I quite like exporting with a little silence before the track
One other thing, I composed this at 106bpm then pitched it up to 114bpm.
I can share the session with you if you like?

Plugins required:
Awesome! I've got all those plugins.
I also did a lil overlap in my vocal patterns for the same reason. I simultaneously like and dislike the fact we can overlap patterns like this. On the one hand it can be really useful, like with this, but I Hate how hard it is to tell when things overlap.
