I think a lot of people don't realise how easy the audio editing software is (it's just cutting and copying and pasting like Word.) The hard bit is being creative!

there are definitely more edits than there used to be but i don't think there's been a deluge of them, at least not in the shops i buy from.

jess have you heard this? or this??
the first i didn't buy because i don't trust people with names like "mark de clive-lowe" (i know, so very stelfox/hunta-d of me) and the 2nd because i don't trust philly ;-)

anyway, i would get that one if you're gonna pay no more than, like, 7 bucks. seiji is usually a good sign; domu i've had intermittent luck with, though he's a seriously hot drums guy when he's on. i also don't trust people with names like mark de clive-lowe.
the presence of "talking drum and stroke percussion" leads me to believe you should ignore the other one. the problem with this shit is that these guys have such variably taste and quality issues that it's impossible to know without hearing. there could be some sick shit on that, but i doubt it.

One way I see it is a lot of DJs are using it as a way to get into production, maybe practice their chops. It's not always so easy, depending on the track, and it's definately more a question of the choices made.

'black to the future' has its jams (agent k, charlie dark, capitol a) but has too much filler. ditto on the philly distrust.
stick with the bugz fabric, seiji remixes, and the agent k album 'feed the cat' (total brilliance). and domu is 80% quality jams, 20% throwaways, but when he's on, HE'S ON.

If they are using Ableton/Audacity/Whatever to tighten up the beats on these edits they need to do a lot better job cause I still have to warp the shit outta them!

never heard a version of You Got Lucky but there is definitely a track out there called Don't Dub Around Here No More (Italians-related ... I think it's done by Tiedye under a different name)
