Don't really fit into existing threads, here are some I thought were quite good...








And DJ Riko's - Whistlers Delight does exactly what it says on the tin.

[SA Chris]

I'm ambivalent about these. Some are quite clever and well done on first acquaintance, but of novelty value and I don't think they stand up to repeat listening. The trouble loves them though, so we have albums full which keep getting played.

One of my favourites from last year:
Genuine Rat - Know How to Drop it Like
JFB vs. Snoop Dogg.

Anything by JFB is generally pretty phat if Electro Wobble Swing is your thing...

[rainbow]

Done well and if they sound natural they can be very good indeed. Here's a few of my favourites

Gimme Gimme Gimme (a Man After Midnight) - Abba vs ZZ top



Dirty Roxanne - The Police vs Michael Jackson



Every car you chase - The Police vs Coldpaly



Set you free in new orleans - N Trance vs Watergate



Tupac vs Phil Colins



It wasn't me on Holiday - Madonna vs Shaggy

[slackline]

Some I'd not come across there cheers, like the ABBA/ZZ Top and Madonna/Shaggy.

Another well done one I recently came across...



They're really just a sub-genre of mixing that people have been doing for years and continue to do so.  Most of the ones I originally posted I heard first in mixes that people had put together.

Sticking them on YouTube is simply because people don't have time or money to get permission to release them.  Some who do though and are very good at it are 2 Many DJ's/Soulwas, particularly their Radio Soulwax mixes which are good fun.

There are however some very poor examples out there.

I really like this





Saw Soulwax DJ a couple of weeks ago. They were properly brilliant

[Dolly]

This as well

Thats a classic of the genre.

Hows about a bit of Craig David vs Eye of the tiger

[ChrisC]

[dave]

That reminds me.....

Destiny's Nirvana



If you listen carefully on this one you can actually hear Kurt turning in his grave.

[dave]

Fresh Prince of Alabama

[rainbow]

2 many dj's are so good at what they do.
Always liked this



Now for some fun, fits so well.

[robertostallioni]

Fax ? ........ Pesky young whippersnappers with their hepcat  jive talk ..........

Smart thread this - good idea starting it Slackers


Final teen sprit my favourite ATM

[fatboySlimfast]

I used to call it the jive bunny effect when something was too sequenced and sounded shoehorned into mixing with something else, 2 many dj's im my opinion used to do this. trying to stretch a song to fit into a 8x4 bar pattern mix that just didnt work.

[the_dom]

Shakira vs (not really) Danzig. Works brilliantly.

[Simon W]

This one was everywhere but now quite hard to find, v good

Always liked Halcyon by Orbital, theres a live version I have somewhere that throws an extra layer into the mix in the form of The Darkness' "I Believe in a Thing Called Love"...

[ChrisC]

Good one Slackline, that reminds me of the final track on In Sides Disk 2 - US Version (I think)



It's a live version of Halcyon On and On till 5:50, then its mixed up with Bon Jovi and Belinda Carlisle.

[slackline]

They're the same track (albeit recorded at different times).

Can't find an online version where they layer The Darkness over the top of Bon Jovi/Belinda Carlisle, although have it on mp3.
