fire in your new shoes (MAJR mashmix)

So, I'm a poor DJ. I don't have the money for the bigtime equipment or studio time to make the shit I dream about making, but I do what I can. Necessity is, indeed, the mother of invention... yada yada, etc etc.
I was a big club dancer before I was ever a DJ, and often a remix or a single is not danceable enough for my liking in said situations. So, I fix these things sometimes. Whether it's mashing two remixes together and manipulating the tracks, or it's completely replacing the backing of one track and replacing it with another... I basically just want a song to be danceable enough for me to love, as well as make the crowds, for whom I play, dance.
Here's the latest track, one of the biggest dance tracks of the summer (everywhere but DC, it seems) from Kaskade ft. Dragonette on which I've been working. It's a mash of a very trance-centric remix by Sultan & Ned Shepard (a remix that Kaskade, himself, has been using to play it live) and a very electro-dance remix by Ming. These two tracks were so good and had perfect moments in each of them... but I couldn't decide which to play live... so I molded them together to my pleasure, and manipulated all the levels to my liking- Enjoy!

3 tracks: dragonette gets around

Dragonette has really been 'getting around' in the last year. Not only have they released a full-length album (Fixin To Thrill) in October of 2009, but they also released an EP in July called Our Summer Volcano. In the interim, they have collaborated with Martin Solveig twice (well, mostly that was just Martina Sorbera, lead vocalist) on two stellar tracks: Boys & Girls and Hello (which was released in France on Sept 6).
They also joined forces with Kaskade to produce one of the hottest euro-club hits of the summer (which is weird considering Kaskade is American and Dragonette is Canadian) in Fire In Your New Shoes.
Now, I know I have put Hello on here before, but that was a cut from the video promotion of the song...THIS is the actual album cut (the first release off Solveig's new album!). Hooray!
