0:00 Another video for Master Mix

Alright folks, another video for Master Mix. In this video we're looking at issue 272, February 2009. It's the blank issue. Okay, what we've got is we've got six cuts. Now that isn't to say it's just six tracks. Each cut has got a whole bunch of mixes in there. We've got a couple at the end, you know, a bit of a mash-up. Track number one is All Mashed Up. Number two, Commercial Dance. Number three, Pure R&B Love. Number four, 100% Remixed. Number five, Kid Cudi vs. Ian Van Daal. One of my favourites, the Kid Cudi. Brilliant. Number six, Akon vs. UD Project. Okay, this is Guru Josh. Infinity. Right, what I've done, I've set cue points. The reason for that, I've got little areas where they've done an actual mix in the track itself. Take a listen. All in time, works well. Bit of wearing my Rolex. Right, let's try another one. This is the first cut from the commercial dance. It's Beyonce and I've got to be honest, this is one of my favourite tracks

2:08 Track number five which is

What I'll do as ever with these particular videos, I'll put a clickable link in the description that will take you directly to the MasterMix website. Okay, we're going to go to track number five which is a bit of a mash-up of Kidz and Ian. The bass line on this tune is massive. Now I like that because they've just mashed up the bass line with the other tune. It's wonderful! But again it's very clever, very very clever. All right, we'll pause the camera. Let's have a look at the white edition. Okay, we've got the white issue now, same month. What do we got? Let's have a look. All right, step back in time. Track number one, track number two. Here come the girls. Number three, Disco Party. Number four, Pop Go, the 80s. Five, Rock and Roll Stomper. Six, Triple Tracker. And seven, extended floor filler of Mustang Sally.

Alright, step back in time. What have we got on this one? We've got Kylie we're listening to now, OJs, Hughes Corporation, Tavares, Crusaders, Chic, Candy Statton, Van McCoy, Kylie Minogue. I like it. Yeah, stick it right back at the end as well. In fact, sometimes that works really well with a mix, is when you start off with one artist, one particular track. You go through a whole bunch of tracks and finish off with what you started with. It works wonders. Also, here's a tip for you. If you're doing a wedding function, let's say the bride and groom want a slow dance, and nine times out of ten, when you start a wedding, the whole event starts. After the first dance, first dance and then bosh, all the dance floor, all the crowd should be on the dance floor. Well a good idea quite often is to finish with the song the bride and groom started off with. It works wonders because they love it. This is Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now. Right now this particular cut here...

4:30 Tell me if you can remember this one

Tell me if you can remember this one. Let's see who's the first person to say who this is. Taken from track number four, this one here is from pop-gozy 80s. We've got Terrence Trent Darby, we've got this one, aha, Holly Johnson and Erasure. Right, one of my absolute fantastic classic tracks, basically when the people are pissed, This will make them sober. It's a House Martins happy hour. Right, let's go to track number six. A classic two-tone act from the 80s known as The Beat. Tears of a clown mirroring the bathroom and hands off, she's mine.

Right now listen, if you're a mobile DJ and you have not got this next song I suggest you stop being a mobile DJ and possibly take up needlework. Practice and enjoy, this is Mustang Sally.
