SIDE A

1. - IT TAKES TWO 2 KISS
(Rob Base vs Prince)
BPM: 112.1
KEY: A minor
TIME: 4:09

If you're looking for a dance floor filler, this is the one. This is a straight forward remix of "It Takes Two" by Rob Base vs "Kiss" by Prince (two mildly popular songs in the late 80's). This mix also features a few extra samples and tracks including the infectious "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior. It has lots of mainstream appeal and has been requested for vinyl pressing from DJ's throughout the world who have been playing the mp3 version in the clubs. It's been included in numerous compilation CD's as well as the infamous underground bootleg mashup cd, The Best Mashups In The World (Are From San Francisco).


2. - JUST A FRIENDLY MEDLEY
(Alan Parsons Project vs Dandy Warhols vs Friends medley)
BPM: 111.4
KEY: B minor
TIME: 8:25

The Alan Parsons Project mashed with Dandy Warhols "We Used To Be Friends" with a medley section of "Friends" songs (Whodini, Beatles, The Killers, The Donnas) - all put together in a DMC/Ultimix style. "This megamix uses the Dandy Warhols’ “We Used to Be Friends” as its focal point, but ranges fearlessly across the musical landscape, from the Cars to Whodini to Garth Brooks - each singing about friendship - with ingeniously interwoven bits of dialogue from Napoleon Dynamite. A textbook example of recognizing musical connections where none should exist." - John Sakamoto / Toronto Star

SIDE B

1. - NOTHING BUT THE EVERLASTING STORY
(Paul van Dyk vs Rodney O vs The Game vs Lil Jon)
BPM: 86.8
KEY: Eb minor
TIME: 7:07

The foundation of the mix is the following songs:   Rodney O - Everlasting Bass (sped up 4 percent to Ebm), The Game - Westside Story (Instrumental), Lil Jon - What You Gonna Do (Instrumental), Paul van Dyk - Nothing But You. Hip-Hop appeal with a bit of PVD trance included. The mystical angelic voices of Paul van Dyk meshed with the various other samples gives it an interesting and slightly eerie feel.


2. - THUNDERSTRUCK YOUR BODY
(AC/DC vs Les Rythmes Digitales)
BPM: 129.6
KEY: B minor
TIME: 5:18

Les Rythmes Digitales "Jacques Your Body" with AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" which seems to match well harmonically. A smattering of 80's and 90's samples embedded throughout. This one will appeal to those who grew up on rock music and/or fans of Z-Trip. French deejays Loo & Placido as well as DJ Zebra endorsed this mashup and have played it regularily on commercial radio in France.
