TheBigO Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 That was fun, not sure you want to spin it out at a Northern do, although slightly better than some of Levines recent efforts! I liked it but then again my kids do say I have no taste in music and listen to R-Soul music (that old chestnut again) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

arnie j Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 as has already been said they are two great records in their own right,im not saying i like this mash up but the poster made the two records fit together quite well and must have took a fair bit of time to get it right so i applaud the poster for his time and effort,although its not really my thing to be honest jason 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 come on chaps give it a chance we cant get stuck now ,,we have to move on I don't even think this has anything to do with tailor-mades versus original vinyl only versus what will move the scene forward etc. This is simply two pieces of music which don't fit together, they're in the wrong key and it sounds terrible. That Kylie Minogue Blue Monday thing is an example of two well known existing tunes fitting together like a jigsaw. This Adele thing is just dreadful.

Guest Matt Male Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I thought we'd seen the back of these crazy mash ups. I've never heard one that worked. Just noticed it's called a refix.

Spacehopper Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) nah...two tracks with two completely different attitudes,or whatever the musical term is!...surley the mash up thing is old hat now anyway??...a few lines sampled on a 'danced' up remix (fat boy slim etc) will always be about depending on the 'new' dance style but think mash ups are just a gimmic that is way past its sell buy date IMO dean Edited January 3, 2013 by spacehopper Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Pete S Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The first minute or so fits ok then it goes a bit astray. I quite like mashups. Especially that Althia & Donna meet We Will Rock You one. Not heard a good Northern one yet though. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
paultp Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I think it is pretty good, very clever. I think if a slightly lesser well known (and loved) backing had been used it wouldn't have been subjected to so many derisory comments. Maybe a less well know vocal too Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Nick Harrison Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I like it, its fresh and full of youthful energy, not one to be played or accepted on the current northern soul scene. Ignore the narrow minded shackled short sightedness of some of the establishment on here !! Although there opinions you asked for !! Putting aside the fact that you have stolen and inter feared with there soul property is rewarding. Good luck with it. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Cover-up Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Ignore the narrow minded shackled short sightedness of some of the establishment on here !! There's nothing narrow-minded about not liking a record which is out of tune - sorry, it's not meant to be ironic or avant garde, it's a pop mash-up. When two pieces of music go out of key, it's just wrong. End of... I don't think the problem is using a backing track which is too well known - the whole point of a successful mash-up is to take two equally popular songs, sling them together and hopefully come up with a whole which is greater than the sum of its parts. Which is not easy, which is why so few of them are successful. Candi Staton "You Got The Love" is an example of a bootleg mash-up which works - although, by my logic the vocal was pretty obscure at the time... so it doesn't really qualify!

Yes, he did , and peoples are giving there opinions. On the narrow minded part, i collect, house, modern , trad NS , Soulful house, jazz funk , neo soul [ i don`t know either ] ... in fact all the colours of the soul rainbow are bought & enjoyed by myself , i`m sure others on here are just as passionate & eclectic in their buying & listening choices. Its not that i don`t like mash ups, i do ,........................... its just, this is shite. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest lofthope Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 This isn't quite set right, but with a bit of work it could be really good. You just need to chop the vocals around the sax breaks for example. My 21 year old daughter thought it was really good (apart from the point above) and has just rushed upstairs to tweet it to her friends. The champion is my all time favourite Northern tune, so I'm not overly happy about vocals plastered all over it, but that doesn't stop me standing back and seeing that this is a really good idea that just needs a little refining. Get on a sequencer and cut the vocals around the bridge and the breaks. Well done and good luck mate. PS Jeez, was just about to post this and your mash came booming out of my daughter's bedroom at full volume, guess I'll be hearing that a few times this evening then!.
