Mastermix Pro Disc 111 & Pro Dance 20 September 2009

0:01 More new releases from MasterMix

Alright folks, more new releases from MasterMix. We're looking at Pro Disc 111 here. Track 1, Arctic Monkeys. Alright, what we've got here as well, it gives you the BPM, it gives you the time of the track and also the style. So we've got the likes of Indie, which is this one, Dance, Urban and Pop. And Electronic as well, which in my mind is just dance really. You know... Booty Love here, track entitled Say It. I'm going to wing it forward a bit. Something very quickly about what YouTube are doing, alright, is quite often I'm getting messages saying there's a problem with the video you've done because of audio and what they end up doing is putting sort of Google Ads on there or iTunes. Now, right, think about this one. What do you think? Is it better for the likes of you, me, etc. to promote the music

If we don't play it in proper stereo and we don't play the whole track, is it better for us to do that and other people listen to it and think I like that and go and buy it as opposed to let's say websites like this just taking the track off completely or should they do more so what they're doing now and that is if they find there's a certain video with a bit of audio that the company doesn't want you to put on. They will then put Google Ads or iTunes ads, enabling the people who watch the video to go to, let's say, iTunes and download the entire track. Now I hope you follow me there. I think that's a good idea in a sense. And I'm totally against them just completely taking off tracks. Admittedly, if you are, let's say, recording the entire track in decent stereo and you're making it blatantly obvious, you know, record the whole damn thing.

2:56 Track number 9

But if you're just showing a little bit, like a little bit of a mix, a demo tutorial and you've got the track in the background, then I think you should be allowed to do it because you're helping to promote the music just along as well. You put relevant information about that track. Right, let's get back to this guy here. Right, let's go to track number five. This is Jay-Z, D.O.A., Death of Auto-Tune. Right. Go to track number 9 now. Now a couple of times I've been brought up and they've actually put iTunes ads on because I've played like 20 seconds of a track and I'm thinking, if it was 20 seconds, brilliant stereo then fair enough but quite often it's 20 seconds and just like this where I've picked it up from the audio or the microphone from the camera. I mean who on earth is going to bother about...

Recording a tiny amount of music and then starting to play on their iPod. Wow, listen to this! 10 seconds! Let's listen to 10 seconds again! And again! No, I don't think so. Right. This is track 9, the new one by LaRue, I'm Not Your Toy. It's going to be interesting, isn't it? Right, track number 15, this is Rhymes or Bust. Sorry, Bust or Rhymes. I just... Eh, wacky, isn't it? Alright, 17 which is... this is the Electronica tune. Track here entitled Audacity of Huge. This one's been around for a while actually. Right, we're going to go to track number 21 which features Lady Gaga, track entitled Chilling. Last one from this CD here. And as ever, what I'll do, I'll put a link in the description where you can get info on these and all the other related CDs. I noticed there it was in the red, shouldn't do that. Right, we're going to go now to this guy here. This is Pro Dance number 20 again for September 2009. Track number one here, Audio Stalkers. Turn it forward a bit.

5:24 Track number seven which is Alex

He's got something in your face, yeah. Number four here which is an absolute stonker. This is Calvin Harris ready for the weekend but this is the Fake Blood remix. See he cut himself and it was not real. Deeper and darker than the original track or the original mix. Let's go to track number seven which is Alex Kidd.

She's one of those stalkers again, like, this is, I suppose in a sense, if you put this in the mix, right in the middle of the night when they go, way! Give it some. Track number eight. This is The Night Shifters featuring Touch Me in brackets all night long. This one is a bit of a makeshift track, well, when I say makeshift, it's almost like a remix from an original tune from the 80s. And again, you see quite often, when you hear a tune, you think, wow, this is new and exciting. I'm not saying definitely, but there's a good chance it's almost like a remix from an original tune or maybe they've got some of the lyrics from an old track and brought it up to modern date. There's nothing wrong in it because all they've done is they've got an original tune say from 20, 10, 15 years ago and they've just updated it to a modern style which is very good if done correctly. So it epitomises the original track. Track number 11.

8:46 This is the Alex Gomez Swedish house mix

Which is Vocik, a track entitled Everywhere I Go. This is the Alex Gomez Swedish house mix. Yep, bit of a mouthful there. Very progressive style here. I mean what is progressive house? Well it's one way of determining progressive house in a sense. It chugs along. Go back into it. It's almost like it's... Just a continual supply of music. If you imagine you're on the motorway, you're on the freeway, and you're just driving at 60 miles an hour for about an hour, which is a couple of 60 miles. Yeah, you would. Rided by forces. Yeah, you would. So it's that sort of feel. And eventually, or somewhere along, you'd maybe get a 70. You'd have a little bit of a lift, and you'd do that for 30 miles, and you'd go back down to your 60. That's sort of progressive house. It's very...

Thank you very much.
