Pedro Costa is an up and coming Canadian singer songwriter from Northern Ontario. Born of Portuguese roots he spent part of his childhood living in Europe which influenced his taste in music. Although he was involved in music in various capacities throughout his life, he became serious about song writing late in 2008. In February 2009 released his first EP “The Light”. The title track has charted nationally in Poland and has been garnering attention in all corners of the world. His music has been described thus far as a blend of Pop/Rock, Alternative Rock, and Classic Rock.
Pedro is actively working on remixes, collaborations, and of course original tracks. Stay tuned to the site or other social networking pages.

oo btw if you have any new tracks on the album that need remixed give me a shout would love to

great work on the remix, i loved your guitar playing. are you going to enter the n.a.s.a remix?
Thank you Pedro! The competition was fierce. I thought your alt. rock version was easily the best in it's class!

so it's hitting the bass/sub woofer too much? my guess is you're using a 'party-next-door' or low-pass filter. you wouldn't hear the painful sounds on your headphones or regular speakers, only on a big sound system. so just add another filer to cut or decrease the really low frequencies (<~60)
RE ur monitor/daft punk question... do you mean that filter sound which amplifies mid-high frequencies?
This is a very nice one Pedro, I voted for it :)
Actually this is one of the very few remixes where someone tried to find a few harmonies instead of sticking to E min for the the whole song (and to G min for the breakdown like in the original). Actually most of the entries are a dissonant mess :)
The only issue I would have is the intro part with the speeded up vocals, I think that would have been much better if the drum groove contained 16th notes (it would have gotten rid of the feeling that the vocal is too fast and the music is too slow for it). Other than that it's 10/10 :)
I would definately like to share some ideas with you later and see if we could work on a project together (if you are willing to do that :)).
voted, I liked your mix better than my own. It was my first remixing attempt and I am not proud of it. I am, however, proud of the breakbeat track on my profile, "shifted conviction" any constructive criticism you might have would be greatly appreciated.
voted i really like the originality of yours well done! and good luck!
Thanks for the comments on the remix. I'm gonna give The Light a go now too. I really enjoyed the original. That news of your success on charts in Europe is awesome.
You did a great job and your music itself is very good, all it matters is to develop your own music.
absolutely igree with your discourse!! when i'm playng records... i love to try different ways, like, funk, disco, rock .. for example i love to mix "hot stuff - donna summer" with... "Deep Purple - Smoke On The Water" and the people on the floor look at me and think that i'm creazy :)
for shure!! i love the GOOD rock made with the heart like: scorpions, emerson like & palmer, yes, queen, led zeppelin, deep purple, erik burdon...animals..and moore..oooooh the doors... i love them!!) this is my rock school.. i have tons of original rock vinyls press
Anytime! and thanks for your nice comment as well. Best of luck to you, cheers!
forgive my humor :) Its a bad sense LOL.. I was kidding. I think you may win , thats I was saying :) good luck and great remix.
thanks for the support, i really like your mix, you always manage to bring some amazing originality to these competitions, good work!
Thanks for the vote man, you got mine as well. Good luck to you! Nice guitar work
