Shenanigans 09 – Cut & Paste Volume II Part 1

September 27, 2008

The most recent full-length mix that I completed was Shenanigans 09 – Cut & Paste Volume 2. With Volume 1, I’d set myself a new record with the number of tracks I’d managed to get into a 80-minute mix, and Volume II was an attempt to beat my own record. A lot of the tracks used, especially in this first part, only have a part of them used – a loop, a breakbeat, or a vocal to create a long mash-up.

Unfortunately, as I got towards the end of the mix, I was plagued by technical problems as the sheer number of samples in memory at any one time was causing my PC to run slowly and have various problems. In the end, I gave up and so the last part isn’t quite as long as I wanted it to be, and doesn’t end as I hoped it would.

Still, it’s a great mix, has a lot of terrific tracks on it, and for your ease and convenience comes in just three parts, cunningly named Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. I’ve selected one video from each part just because I can. The video I’ve selected to got with the first part is Electrovamp’s “I Don’t Like The Vibe In The VIP“.

Electrovamp - "I Don't Like The Vibe In The VIP"

Electrovamp are two sisters, Kally and Tammy, from Caerphilly in Wales and this is their first single. They’re signed to Island Records. “I Don’t Like The Vibe In The VIP” is party music to dance to, plain and simple, and it has some lyrical couplets that will make you wince, but you’ll still end up singing it after the song has finished.

The plan is to release all three parts of this 60-minute mix over the weekend, so please keep checking back! Each part is slightly longer than previous mixes, so they take longer to download.
