D.X 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Very popular track to play towards the end of a wedding but it's a bit too long at 10mins. Surely mixing tracks together for 10 mins is the same as playing a 10 min medley ? The punters won't know the difference. Link to post Share on other sites
Bouncy Dancefloor 0 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 often these medleys are not just the same songs mixed together. The Tight Fit medley has a extra thumpey beat to it, which i find helps so much. The dirty dancing megamix often gets asked for, if you go into Yates and those sort of bars, the DJ's play it there and they want you to play it too :) id forgotten about the Boney M megamix, i do play it occasionally, i dont play any other Boney M Link to post Share on other sites

The punters won't know the difference. true, but some of us are not 'mixdoctors' or just welcome a longer break. some punters know the megamix well, and expect it to be played in it's original entirety.

Frog 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I play the Five megamix at pretty much every gig - never fails ever! Link to post Share on other sites

That's what I was trying to say too. Those that know the megamix will want it played normally and those that don't won't know you're not mixing it yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
mick 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I tend to only use the Soul Banana and grease megamix. I would not use them if they bombed but suprisingly they are good floor fillers around here so what the hell. Link to post Share on other sites
ryandio 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Only rarely play them if then only the Grease Megamix or the Ska Megamix Link to post Share on other sites
NRG Roadshow 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 (edited) I play the Five megamix at pretty much every gig - never fails ever! Me too! Heard you mention it ages and ages ago on another forum and it got me into the habbit! So I had to vote "every gig" in the poll coz I allways play this one. Tightfit - Back to the 60s somtimes gets a play when I need a break for 10 minutes too. I also have a number of mastermix grandmaster discs, they are handy when I need to go Toilet/Bar/Smoke. The other one I play fairly regualrly is the Grease Megamix, possibly the best known megamix amongst party crowds, they know the mix so well I find, you couldnt get away with playing anything other than the megamix. I tried the Boney M mix the other day, and it bombed in spectacular fassion! NEVER AGAIN! What is this Soul Banana mix I have heard about? Never have managed to find out where to get it from.

The Ogrady Roadshow 0 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 i often play the dirtydancing megamix but might drop it out just as he says "sorry about the disruption folks, but i always do the last dance of the evening" well something like that! Link to post Share on other sites

jamesmurphy 0 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 The ones I use (but only when requested) are Grease Megamix - Dirty Dancing Megamix and the brilliant 70s Rock Pub Mix. Have used the 'Have You got any Take That' mix and Soul Banana in the past. To be honest, I don't really like megamixes so avoid them as I'd rather play the complete original.
