Richard F 'Defected' Re-Edit
Richard Fite, who is Phunkie Souls, keeps the original vibe but adds some new samples. A twangy guitar riff sites atop the usual melody while the vocals have been shifted to the background and given an edge. As this mix is actually a Re-Edit, Richard F hasn't tampered with “ Tha Music ” but rather has moved elements around as well dropping new sounds into the sampler, such as fuller bass and distorted percussion.

Knee Deep select a fuller bassline for their remix. Some bizarre slapping noises are panned around the speakers before the trumpet is moved into the background and soft piano keys dictate the melody instead. Extra tribal percussion, along with keeping vocals to a minimum, helps create a better track which, in my opinion, is friendlier on the ear.

Original Mix Click here to hear a clip of the Original Mix
The Original Mix features harmonic female vocals and a flourishing filtered trumpet sample for a melody. Phunkie Souls, a pseudonym of Richard Fite, decided upon a rattle for percussion and chunky bass, both of which are quite trebly. The track is completed by a simple male voice which repeats the song's title. I feel that this is a standard Defected track, although to be fair, there is nothing that hasn't been heard before. Besides some EQ tweaks which constitute a breakdown, “ Tha Music ” doesn't actually go anywhere.
