mashups go on & on…

January 9, 2008

Picking your way through a record shop strewn with mash-ups, bootlegs, re-edits and re-presses is no easy job. Was it ever thus? Well, yeah, actually, despite all the online moaning, there have always been re-edits floating around.

Some better than others. But then it’s like disco. You can knock some disco, but not all disco. And the good selector will always find a few bombs no matter what the genre.

This edit first came out a few years ago and is a good example of when an edit works. Listen and learn.

    That is of course Quincy Jones’ Summer In The City being used – as made famous by Nightmares On Wax in the mid ’90s…

    Funny, I was in half a mind to post this track the last few days. Monkeys, typewriters, something.
