DJ Maxik - Dance Mega Mix 2005
DJ Maxik - Dance Mega Mix 2005
After two years of preparing and planning I have finally releases a brand new mix. This mix is very unique in many different ways (mainly because this is a "Dance" mix). All of my previous mixes were strictly "Trance". It also contains a lot of songs (23). Lastly, this is an international mix which features songs and artists from different countries around the globe.
First of all, I like to think of this mix as an appetizer. There are 23 tracks on 1 CD! I realized that listening to Dance music at home is different than dancing to it at a club. I also wanted to include as many songs as possible. Therefore, I picked out the best parts of each song, and put just that part on the CD.
Second, this is my first time mixing strictly "Dance" music. At the beginning it was very hard for me to get used to. I'm very familiar with mixing Trance where long transitions and EQ modifications are common. In dance music it's really all about timing, quick fades, and effects. Fifty percent of this compilation is mixed, and the other 50 is compiled on a computer.
Lastly, and the most important reason I made this mix is because it is International and features several themes. It starts off with a happy and funny remix of an old track which was recently featured in a Hollywood production "Madagascar". Next it is followed by a popular Brazilian song "Magalenha" also remixed. After that, the theme of "New York Club Night" begins with tracks 3-7. From there we move on to the "European" theme which begins with tracks 8-12. Starting from track 13, a new theme is introduced, and the founder of that theme has to be "Benny Benassi", an Italian DJ and Producer who dominated the dance theme with his unique style of heavy bass and old-skool synth. That theme ends with an old popular French song "Tu es foutu". Starting from Track 17 is the "Russian Dance" theme. Finally, the last theme on this CD is the "Greek" theme, with the catchy strings and Mediterranean style.
