Hey Mr. DJ! Me and my friends were at Jack in Box after your last set at the Echoplex, and we (well, I, really) thought of some really great ideas for your next gig. I know I'm just a fan of dance music, I don't push the buttons to make the music go 'bleep-bloop' and all that, but, um, I thought it'd be really awesome if you'd, like, remix one of those super rad indie-dance-rock songs like, y'know, Justice or Datarock or something. Yeah, you could like, cut up the vocals real choppy like, and then add a really heavy four-to-the floor-beat,(cause me and Haircut Rave Hanna are sooo over breaks). and then some of those big stabbing synths, to make it like really HARD sounding. An then, you could like, use those cross-fader thingamajigs to mix some sort of totally minimal track....like that one that goes 'bip....bip.....bipboop'. You know that one? OMG that totally makes me lose my shit on the dancefloor....like I'm following the bip...bip....and THEN.... it goes..... 'bipboop'......and I'm like OMGWTF! Yeah, I love that shit.
Ok, so, then, I was thinking...I know this is totally outa leftfield, but what if you mixed a Peaches track in next? Like, you could have her speaking OVER the minimal track, so i'd be like 'only double A (bip) but I'm thinking triple X (bipboop!)". OMG I can hear it in my head right now! If I can find my dad's dictaphone, I'll totally sing it for you and send you the minitape.
Peaches would work really well with some sort of really dirty rap track, it'd be like throwing a little black culture in there. But, we would all be kinda in on the joke of it, y'know, cause really, it is kinda funny how they are talking about asses and money all the time. And if we sang along to the lyrics and accidentally said the n-word outloud, it'd all be ironically, not really racist or anything. fer sure.
And for the end of your set, I thought of the ULTIMATE closer. OMG, you are gonna love this.
Member that super cheesy 80's (or maybe 90's, i dunno) band, Journey? Well, they have this song that's like, so out there...I don't know the name of it, but the lyrics are like..."don't stop believin', hold on to that feeling...."
You know the one I'm talking about.
OMG people would shit themselves, it'd be so rad.
