Imastermix Issue 277 July 2009 Review

0:01 Another preview video on these guys here from MasterMix

Alright folks, another preview video on these guys here from MasterMix. We've got the black issue 277 for July 2009 on that one over there. And then we've got this guy here, the white version of MasterMix issue 277, July 2009 over here. Alright, what's on this one? Let's have a look. It is 30 years of Simple Minds, and then we've got Extended Floor Filler, Just Dance, number 5, Extended Floor Filler, Single Ladies, and then we've got some for the summer. So track 6 is Beach Boy Gold, 7, Pure Salsa, 8, Extended Summer Floor Filler, Walking on Sunshine, and then number 9, Extended Summer Floor Filler, Club Tropicana. So a bit of a mix up there. And that's that one. On this one here, what you're listening to at the moment is the commercial dance mix. We've got Push That System, which is Costello. There you go. Also, track number two then, and by the way, track number one is like a bit of a mix of modern day up-front sort of tunes, alright? Number two is Essential R&B All Cutter. Number three, Triple Tracker, which is Pendulum. Quite cool. Number four, we've got a Latino dance mix.

Number five, Black Eyed Peas versus Lady Gaga. Number six, Britney Spears versus Two Amigos. That sounds interesting. And number seven, Kindly versus Bass Hunter. Right, what I'm gonna do now, I'm gonna pause that, we're gonna go to this one here and I've got it set so we're gonna listen to the transition to the mix in between We Don't Care and Sweet Dreams which is We Don't Care, Akon, and Sweet Dreams, Beyonce. So it'll give you a general idea of what to expect where the mixes are actually concerned. That's Akon, Beyonce here though. Alright so this like in a sense is Chartbreakers mix. We've got Akon, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Flo Rida and Pussycat Dolls. Alright so what I'll do now, we'll go on to this one here, the black one, and I'm going to go to track five which is a collaboration, a bit of a mash-up of Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga, Poker Face.

2:54 Get real and just use your voice

So if you don't like it, they're fake. One thing I don't like at the moment that loads of people are using is the vocoder. Get real and just use your voice. Right, now this one here is, I suppose in a sense, it's one of the all-time classic supergroups of the 80s, Simple Minds. Right, we've got Alive and Kicking, All the Things She Said, Upon the Catwalk, Don't You Forget About Me, which is monster. Promise You a Miracle, another good one. Speed, Your Love to Me. Waterfront, Ghost Dancing and Sanctify Yourself. All Simple Minds. So, you know, let's say for example, I don't know, something like a wedding or maybe a 40th or 50th birthday party. They'll probably like Simple Minds more. Everyone's different. Alright, what have we got on this one? Let's have a look. Alright, I'm going to check out... In fact, we'll wag this one forward a bit. We'll wag it forward a bit. We're going to get a track number four on the other one, on this guy here.

4:23 I'm going to wang this forward a bit as well

And we're going to listen to the Latino dance. I'm going to wang this forward a bit as well. Pissing down where you are, get a new CD. It's a good idea to have a quick zip through it. Let's say for example, you've got a CD with like, I don't know, say 12 tracks on. What you can generally do is if you zip through them all, sometimes there's a track that just, two or three seconds you go, yes, I like that one. And quite often, you know, if you've got a relatively good ear, you'll know that's a bit of a stonking track. But having said that, It could be a really good track for you, but it might not be a good track for someone else. If you're doing mobile functions, there are certain tracks you may love and think these are brilliant, but be wary about playing them in a mobile environment. You may like them, but it doesn't mean to say the crowd will like them. I do like that. Right, this one here, we're going to go to this one here, which is taken from this guy. And it's pure salsa. We've got Mambana, we've got Shaft.

6:42 Track 8, press play

Negrocan, Basement Jacks, Banda Sonara and Ronaldo's Revenge, Masquinada, which is a beautiful track. I swang this one forward a bit. Salsa style but it's still keeping that 4-4 time, which is a good crossover between mobile and the clubby environment. Right, oh shit, I shouldn't have done that, hold on. If I go to track 8, press play. And then what I'm going to do is go back slightly because I want to get to Ronaldo's Revenge. This one. Beautiful track! Love it, man! This is summer. This is summer. Right, I'm going to pause that one. I'm going to go to... Track number eight here. Alright, this is a wonderful track. I play this at most weddings and anything. It's Katrina and the Waves walking on sunshine.

But this is the Extended Summer Floor Filler and it says 5 minutes and 48 seconds, which is good because the original lasts for about 2 seconds and you've got to like, not literally, but you've got to try and rush to find your next one. Right, this one here, track number 6, taken from the black one and it is Britney vs Two Amigos. It's If You See Amy, sorry, If You Seek Amy. And everybody get up. I'm dyslexic by the way, so sometimes I look and think, what the hell does that say? But if you are dyslexic like me, don't be ashamed of it because, you know, shit happens, doesn't it? Alright, let's just go forward a bit. Alright, a bit of a review on these guys here from MasterMix. Practice and enjoy, thank you.
