that Sensible / Problems mix is pissweak :( . actually sounds like a pale shadow of the old 99 Luftballoons / 99 Problems mash

yeah, obviously similar to the red balloons one but a) i've overplayed the fuck out of that and b) it's kinda superdumb whereas 'wot' adds a great 80s popfunk feel if you don't know the original (which i don't). need to edit out captain's rap, mind.

got a 320 of the jungle bros/loaded track off the guy who made it, massive thanks to whoever posted that - going to be a staple of my sets for a few weeks.

qu: is there a bootleg of glen miller's in the mood with a hip hop track? can imagine *something* really working, like a driving rhythmic 'gold digger' type thing. is there anything like this?

mark e, you're right in that mashups/bootlegs are in a weird position now. after the initial burst there was a long time when the usual ilx types were sneering at the very idea but that's faded now. think most non-musos were only vaguely aware of it as a phenomenon so a good one still sounds really exciting/interesting played in a club/on radio. total boon for a dj playing a party set, which is why i'm focusing on hunting out the best ones i've missed over the past decade.

would be good to read an article about the whole thing, by peter robinson, dorian l, someone like that

xpost to myself there's a mashup for 'killing in the name of' with glenn miller which works well but you wouldn't want to hear it more than once or play it to other people.

i'm sure i remember a great bootleg using the vocal to 'forgot about dre' but intensive googling is coming up with nothing. anyone help?

(diff dre song but this is nice enough: https://soundcloud.com/samplegee/dr-dre-vs-buena-vista-social )

I'm sure there was a Forgot mash too, but likewise can't recall what

soundhog got a take down notice re the helter skelter one only a couple of weeks ago after it had been online for months !

mark e, Thursday, 13 February 2014 15:25 (ten years ago) link

tch, that'll be the beatles legal team won't it?

lot of the bootlegs with hip hop vocals are censored as the available acapellas are all pg-friendly for some reason. i've spent many hours cueing and eqing the likes of kanye, 50 cent and snoop saying 'fuck' and 'nigger' to make the bootlegs as naughty as the original. a chore certainly but 100x better than the alternative, for a friday night dancefloor

Thanks for the link, Jordan. I am such a sucker for this silly shit.
