i think it's mainly for nostalgia purposes.. hearing a classic dropped at the right time makes everyone go nuts

Originally posted by noikeee A little remastering could be ok, what is annoying is how some people think pasting the kick+hihats loop, that they use in every single of their productions, over the track, makes it "up to date". It only makes the set/album/whatever blander, often ruining the track.

are we talking about remastering, editing? i can see remastering if the original production's mastering was shit but i'm also not a big fan of the edit. thinking pvd, sean tyas, etc.

The best tunes are timeless. It shouldn't matter how old the music is, if its great music, it will always be good and appeal to people even years later.
There's no such thing as a tune too old for the dancefloor.

I always remember Darren Emerson dropping the original album version of New Order - Blue Monday in the middle of a set of new release stuff. Crowd blew up, got more people dancing and out on the floor than any new track (and he was laying it down this particular night) than anything else he played all night. A well timed original mix from yesterday can have a great effect.
