All well and good but this is definately where reading the crowd comes into play. Agreed, you can't drop any old shit and it has to be well done but you have to know the crowd or the effects may be catastrophic.
Some of the above mixes are well done although I would have to say that it would be a cold day in hell before you got me to play any Britney.

Cheers
Nem

Dont' worry, I know it. But it's more down to the fact that I'm not big on vocals really. I think I have one or two in my box tops. The amount that I get sent is another story.

i've been big into 80's remixes lately... they fit nicely with the electro flavor that progressive has taken this year

scumfrogs remix of everytime is amazing too.

Originally posted by MR STROKE how do you guys feel about playing remixed pop songs in your set? as long as the remix is wicked, do you play it? or do you think playing pop remixes/bootlegs...is cheesey??

What do you mean by pop exactly? Britney and the other pop tarts? U2 and Sting? Nirvana? I'd have no problem mixing from the rock groups, but if it's a bubbly, fake breasted pop-tart, it better be a damn good remix.

Britney Spears - Everytime (Above and Beyond Remix) I have to admit it's a crazy tune. The other remixes are good too like the Valentine Remix and the Dr. Octavo's Translucent Mixshow Edit.

ive been playin holden's vocal and dub mix of breathe on me. its a great track

Pop/rock + Trance = the EVIL

i am in love with the holden dub of breathe on me... but anyways.

em. well, it depends on the crowd, etc. but another factor for me is... well, basically, when and how many. for instance, i hear tiefschwarz did a wicked remix of Milkshake. but if i spun Breather on Me, i would feel pretty weird spinning another pop remix in the same set. perhaps that's just me being weird.

but having a few top40 friendly tracks that are real good too is always a good idea. sure, we all want to be spinning the experimental, underground stuff, but not every crowd likes that, or dance music at all. so having these may make an otherwise sucky night tolerable.
