vs versus featuring.. what's the difference?

A lot of times I see tracks listed such as this:

Jurgen Vries vs Andrea Britton - Take My Hand

What does the vs mean? Versus? What's the difference between vs and featuring? (ft.)

Just trying to figure out the nomenclature.

You've got a mislabled MP3, as the correct title is Jurgen Vries Feat. Andrea Britton:

To answer your question, there's no rule between what they mean. In most cases, "Feat." is used when there's a vocalist in the track and "vs" is mostly used when it's a bootleg of 2 tracks ut together, although it often goes either way.

"Vs" can also be used when two producers work together to make one track, iirc

Erm...eat your words......

I have the original white....... signed by Andrea when she did a PA at one of my residencies:

anyway- vs is normally where it has been a white label bootleg, but then released officially- thereby giving both artists due credit and royalties.
Its bascically a way of giving two artists credits for the same track without having one relegated to just a remixer.
Feat. is normally where its a guest vocalist, perhaps on something that was big underground as an instrumental.

The thread starter said "Jurgen Vries vs..." which to the best of my knowledge it was never released under.

yes but u have the white label which came out as darren tate vs andrea britton but the official full release came out as jurgen vries feat. andrea britton.
So the original post by aloep was right and ur wrong

Posted by Ory on Feb-25-2005 14:48:

The original poster didn't say anything about an official release. Do you know what official releases are about? Promotion and money for the label. So piss off, you corporate twat.

And who the hell do you think YOU are? "I'm right, you're wrong". Ha, with that attitude you deserve to be banned just as much as I. It's the same fucking track, okay? It has two titles, he's not wrong for using "vs." instead of "featuring".

Now go listen to ASOT and drool over the next ch00n to be released on Anjunabeats.

1 - learn to read posts properly before giving out abuse
2 - get ur self of to anger management classes
3 - learn to chill out u sad gimp i know for a fact that people like u wouldnt have the guts to say that to my face so dont do it on a board.

You were trying to argue some difference between the White Label and the Official Release, which obviously wasn't there = you have no point.

That's your post. You claimed Freak was wrong, which he wasn't, which makes you wrong. It's both "vs." and "feat.", ok?

EDIT: Actually it's the fact that you claimed aloep was right, that makes you wrong. Anyway, you're wrong.
