dattrax: I friend of mine posted a hand held video clip of George Michael singing "Everything She Wants" and the energy was electric because everyone in the audience loved that song and knew the words. Jim and I have been mixing 80s pop tunes into house sets years before "MashUp" came around (Mash Up: remixes of popular songs layered with instrumentals from other popular songs or hip hop/ rnb beats).
We grew up with 80s pop and love it!
This mix starts off with 'Everything She Wants' by Wham and in the middle has Duran Duran's 'Wild Boys'. Both pop songs were mixed w/ a house instrumental and then burned as a single song each and played with the rest of the tracks on two Technics SL-DZ 1000's and a Pioneer DJM-500 mixer.
House Music to us is taking any house track that you love and mix it with any song that you like to hear on top of your favourite house tracks.
I remember before DJing. My first 'mixed tapes' were made from me recording 3hrs of this house music radio show on fri ngts. Yes, multiple 90min cassette tapes! Then listening and fast forwarding to songs that I liked. Then copying each song into a new cassette tape. VOILA! My favourite songs in maybe 2-3 weeks shows in one 90min tape! Pain staking, but worth it. This was before people complained about not having enough GIGS in their ipods or cellphones!
BTW... if you enjoy this mix, then why don't you buy us a beer? There's a PayPal DONATE button on the top right side of this website. For Toronto or Global bookings: dattrax@gmail.com
