Topic: So I've Been Out of it a while - Old School Mixes

Alright, the web site sucks I know. Go directly to the download page. Just looking for some honest...bad as well as good...feedback on a few mixes I posted. If you were around in the late 80's/early 90's in either NY or Chi Town, you'll know some of the songs. If you don't know the songs you should if you want to consider yourself a DJ aficiando. For example, the Fugee's/Lauren Hill or Wyclef John, know exactly who Thirld World is. Sense of Purpose/Jam On it/Just an Illusion/It's my Life (Duet with the original Talk Talk and special Guest appearance from the track they stole) is what I've posted after owning VDJ for a month. I would appreciate straight feedback, thanks. Could today's generation actually embrace these tunes with some tweaks??? I Don't even use an external mouse, this software freakin' good. TCV pls Santa/Wife

Remember: D TRAIN, SOS BAND, THE SYSTEM, FATBACK, KANO (It's Alright), GINO SOCCIO (Try It Out), SHADES OF LOVE (Body To Body), SHANNON, FRANCE JOLI, SHARON REDD, CHAS JANKEL (Glad To Know You), NARADA MICHAEL WALDEN, HOWARD JOHNSON (So Fine), STEPHANIE MILLS, DAYTON, KHEMISTRY, KLIQUE (I Can't Shake This Feeling), BEN E. KING ( Music Trance), THE JONES GIRLS, KAREN SILVER, BOHANNON (Lets Start The Dance), BRANDI WELLS (Watch Out), POSITIVE FORCE (We Got The Funk), KASHIF, COLONEL ABRAMS, MARY JANE GIRLS (In MY House), TINA MARIE (Square Biz), BRASS CONSTRUCTION (Walkin' The Line), GAP BAND (Outstanding Girl You Knock Me Out, You Dropped The Bomb On Me), FAT LARRY'S BAND, PATRICE RUSHEN (Forget Me Nots), so many great tunes. Got them all in my computer and people still love them. Keep up the good work and keep having fun with VDJ.

Thanks for the feedback. Shinobi16. I remember almost all the tunes you mentioned. D-Train and Colonel Abrams are probably two of my favs. (Music is the Answer by CA great tune). Chas Jankel, that' s a rare one. I've got them all on my computer as well. How about you send a few mixes to my site's e-mail and I'll post them for fun. Here's a few more, Jimmy Ross (First True Love affair/Fall into a Trance), Nolan Thomas Yo Little Brother, The Gap Band, The Dazz Band, Fantastic Voyage, La Flavour, The Machine, BBQE (On the Beat), Oydessy (Native New Yorker), Jimmy Horne Spank, The Whispers, and the list goes on and on. Thanks again for some feedback, I'll look for a mix or two from you. VDJ rocks.

Shinobi, you got me thinking about the System. They had a song, The Pleasure Seekers, that was agreat one. I just looked around on Amazon and found all their other tunes but Pleasure Seekers wasn't on any of their albums. Anyone know where, besides Vinyl, I can find this tune? I know I had it on 12" years ago and I'm wondering if it was just a single release by them.

Vx, thanks for the post, I'm downloading it now. Big file. Marley Marl brings back a whole other area of this time period. The Grandfathers of Rap. RDMC...rip JMJ. Dam shame. On e-bay they're selling some turntables from a guy I don't remember (search for turntables) but he died and was a legend and they have a picture of Jay's van with a ton of signatures from all the people all over the van. Turntables don't look that good or I would have bought them. I could go on forever with these people's names. Cold Crush Brothers (on the radio) UTFO, Jeckyll and Hyde, GM Flash, Sugarhill (8th Wonder..ooh and that other song LOL)Fresh Prince (ok he's Will Smith now but he was cool then :) Good stuff.

Shinobi, it said that it wasn't available. The biography says it was dist. by some chinese label. I wonder if that's why it tough to get..then and now. This board has shown me ton's of good sites. I just haven't spent much time looking in the last decade so I am learning a ton. Are there sites that have MP3 downloads of 12" versions? I'm dying for dub versions and alcapellas. Not the vinyl recorded stuff that sounds like junk.

Bambi, thanks but these sites don't do it. I'm not looking for vinyl, I need cd or download. Pleasure Seekers anyone?

You're the man Bambi. Much appreciated. I'll keep an eye out for what you're looking for as well.

DJ Bambi, found your song on vinyl. Don't know if that does you any good. http://www.discogs.com/release/13617. I guess you also have to find someone to sell it to you, I'm not familiar with this site. I'd start searching under Moodymann his alias. You might have some luck with a CD.

Mandolay and There but for the Grace of God Tribute. Not quite there yet but I had fun mixing them all. Throw a classic house tune and it's some classics housed up. Alway's welcome feedback. AudioRetro.com. The website sucks and I'm really not trying to market on the site. It's just where I post my mixes to be reviewed. :}
