Some of hottest producers from around the globe use this time-honored form of deceit by taking nostalgic or classic
techno hits and remixing the dog piss out of them, in an attempt to transform the original into some New Age Top 40's EDM piece of mastery, that may sound familiar, but your not quite
sure as to why. Regular Legos don't
work with Lego's K'Nex, so stop it!
Many famous artists have done exactly this, some of the most famous being:
Example #1: Pharell/Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines VS. Marvin Gaye - Got to Give it Up
Example #2: House of
Pain - Jump Around VS. Cypress Hill - Insane in the
Brain
Example #3: Pitbull - Culo - VS. Nina Sky - Move ya body
Jim: Bro this Festy is the best, your totally missing out on the action!
Bob: Really? any chicky babes showing off the twins?
Jim: Some threw bras at the end of Splewguetta's set. Cause he mixed Castles in the Sky into bangin
Trap.
Bob: What?!? Jim, please do me a favor when you get home, OK?
Jim: Sure Bob anything, whats up?
Bob: Please delete my phone number and lose me as a friend.
Jim: What? What did I do?
Bob: You haven't learned a thing! You've called me
5 times in the last 6 hours. I've filled your head with
common sense knowledge, and you still think your being embellished by unsurpassed super stars.
Jim: Shit, it's the drugs man, damn it, all I know is that
DJ Splewguetta is about to play again and I can't wait to hear his night time set, he's a God, and I'm totally peakin right now!
Bob: Stay with me now, OK Jim. The reason Splewguetta is able to make that large of a transition, isn't because he's talented. In fact all the manipulation is done in pre-production. All the classic songs your hearing get put into a computer and edited. Dubs become Rubs then become
Re-Rubs, and Remixes become Refixes, then released as a Bootleg to the world without tribute to the original artists. We call this a
Re-Rubadub Refix Remix Bootleg. This is what many Faux
DJ's have done to
jump ahead in the Biz. Some Faux
DJ's have so much
money that they
will pay another Faux
DJ to produce tracks for them, better known as a
Ghost Producer, aka the old bait and switch.
