Mastermix Play school & Grandmaster Divas

0:00 Another video for you showing you these guys here

Alright folks, another video for you showing you these guys here. They're CDs from a company called MasterMix. There's that one, which is the Grandmaster Divas. There you go. And this guy here, which is called PlaySchool. Now, that's the interesting one. Alright, first of all, what is that? Well basically it's a MasterMix of loads of tunes from Divas, from ladies. What they've done is they've taken the best parts of tunes, bunged them in to a complete master mix. Now first of all this is very important and hopefully a lot of DJs out there will back me up on this. There's 30 tracks on here so the running time is 78 minutes. Now if anyone, any mobile DJ would sit there all night and play that entire thing in their set then I personally think they should not be paid the full amount.

Because DJing is all about chopping and changing. By all means, play this at the beginning of the night, you know, when they're eating the food or whatever, or maybe during the evening, play part of it. But let's be honest, you're paid to entertain, you're not paid to bung a CD on like this for the entire duration of the main part of the evening. That's the important bit. Okay, right, what have we got on this? We've got Jocelyn Brown, we've got Spice Girls, Gwen Stefani, Atomic Kitten, Christian Aguilera, Jerry Halliwell, Kylie Minogue, Girls Aloud Pink, etc. etc. So what I'm going to do is play a few of those. Now also, this is where you might think I'm a bit balmy and bonkers, but if you're a mobile DJ, you'll understand. Now, being a mobile DJ is all about listening to that phone and not... well, basically you could expect anything. You could expect the general, you know, I've got a wedding.

You can also expect the phone to ring and have some lady saying, it's my daughter's 8th birthday party, can you do a disco for her? Well your first thought is, oh dear, can I? But you can. Now again, the kids, this is my own personal opinion as well. When I've done very young kids parties, they don't necessarily want to listen to the latest chart music and dance. They want to run about, cause havoc and eat lots of chocolate and annoy their parents. Don't we all? But what they do want to do is play loads of party games. Now, something like that I think is quite cool because it's got bingo, ba-ba black sheep. It's got all that sort of stuff. I mean, yeah, you think I'm barmy, but I'll tell you what, I'm going to take this to the next kiddies disco I do. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this. So, without further ado, I'm going to skip through this. Here we go, let's play track one.

2:47 Track four, which is Hollow Back

Now this one here, it's slightly mixed up, but it's an old classic, Jocelyn Brown, Somebody Else's Guy. It's beautiful! So you've got that. What I'm going to do, I'm going to go to track four, which is Hollow Back Girl. What I'll do actually, if I skip back a little bit from the beginning of this, we'll hear the transition, we'll hear the mix. So let's go back a little bit. This is track three, The Spice Girls. We've got the countdown timer. Ten seconds. That's quite good. Right, what I'm going to do now, again, I'm going to put on another transition. So let's say, I don't know, I'm going to skip through this. Who cares? We'll go to 19. It's not right but it's okay. It's the Thunderpuss mix. And we're on, no, we're on 11. No, no, we're not that. Sorry. 19. Sorry. Just bear with me, please. Because this is, of course, pre-recorded and loads of people helping me do these videos. Right, OK, so this is 19. What I'm going to do is I'm going to go to... That's what I'll do. Aha! See how sussed it? I'm going to go to track 20 and then skip back a little bit towards the latter part of 19 so we can hear the transition between 19 and 20.

4:32 It's the Freemasons mix

Try saying that in Chinese, Japanese, Hungarian, Norwegian, Swedish and Indian at the same time. You're clever than me. Right, okay, here we go. So we'll go back. This is 18 to 19. Everyone entitled Beautiful Liar. It's the Freemasons mix. Beyonce and Shakira. Again, this one's all divas. This is the ladies doing their thing. From this one, here we go. It's one of your ten in the bed. That sounds interesting. Classic! It's the Magic Dragon. I mean, I'll be honest with you, most kids these days are going, what are you playing this rubbish for? But, you know, you've got to have it. No, you know what I can see? I can see 70-year-olds waltzing to this. Come on, dear, let's have a little waltz. This old man. True story, right?

A couple of, no, last night, the missus went down to the shed and opened some food for the horses, put her hand in there were two mice in there. She was like, ah! Mice, seriously, seriously. She should have put the blinking lid on. Fair dues, this is probably a little bit too much for the eight or nine year olds but this is ideal I think for the little kids, you know, two, three and four year olds because, right? And I'm going to do this the next wedding gig I do. I'm going to take this and I'm going to play a few of these and we'll get the youngsters up. Right, what else have we got over here? Ah, right! Now, I'm glad they put this one at the end because this is an all-time classic. This, ladies and gentlemen, was number one in 1857 in Iceland. No, just joking. Here we go.

9:04 You get the general idea

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round. Right, alright, you get the general idea. Now that's that one, that's the Play School. We're on 23 here, Dinah Ross. Now I remember the original of this, classic, but of course this one, revamped, beefed up and more dancing. Got a good one here, Knock On Wood. Again... What I like about this is they haven't just got... All the modern day songs and put them together. They've chopped, they've got a few oldies, few newies, few oldies, few newies. Now again, I'm trying to read between the lines here. You know, what we're dealing with, I suppose, if you think about it logically, you know, if you've got all the latest tracks, you're going to be pleasing the youngsters. If you've just got all the old tracks, a lot of the youngsters will like it, but all the older generation will like it. Well, I suppose in a sense what they've done is they've combined the two together, so everyone's happy. There you go. And by the way...

Thank you for watching.
