"So what you want me to do?"
Pottsy:
"Express yourself!"
Pottsy is absolutely right. I spend every week plugging other people's talents. It's about time I showcased my own excellent dance music production abilities. Dance music is properly easy to do. All you need is a crack, I mean, fully authorised and paid for, copy of Ableton and the ability to use a mouse.
This is a track I knocked up on my lunch break yesterday afternoon. It's a cheeky white-label bootleg called Thank You, Ma'am (The Eulogy Mix) by Best Promos, and if any techie, nerdy websites like Attack Mag, super cool youth site Resident Advisor, Future Music, Music Radar or The Quietus (not them, but I can't think of any other nerdy, high-brow websites that cover dance music) want to pick it up, cover it and dissect how it was done, you're welcome to use the helpful screenshots further down on this post.
So, without further ado, here is our heart-felt tribute to the new King, with a low-slung, spacey disco tint to carry your mourning onto a whole new plane of respect and understanding, man. I've also opened it up as a free download, so fill your boots.
It's really good, isn't it, readers? I can imagine Prosumer playing this at Man Power's night in Fulchester, or Wes Baggaley playing it out at [Hard] DICK in Prague.
Speaking of which, tickets for Me Me Me Are you Affiliated 2: "The Committee Strikes Back" Prosumer + Man Power are on sale now (Saturday 3 December), and they're ONLY £13.61, that's just over £6 per DJ...which is a bargain. It's probably going to be a 10/10, so if you live in Fulchester, go, and if you don't, get a coach or a train up there, or down there if you live in Scotland like Prosumer does, well, he used to, I think. He might have moved since then, but that's by the by. It's bound to be wall-to-wall dance music all night long until chucking out time.
If I were ever asked to DJ in Newcastle, I would 100% play Geordie Boys (Gazza Rap) by Gazza with my top off. How brilliant would that be? It's (genuinely) always been a DJ fantasy of mine.
If I ever DJ'd in Wolverhampton I'd play the theme from Steptoe and Son, or just two hours of cow diarrhoea and dogs being sick mp3s.
Whilst I'm at it, Geoff Mills, I mean, Jeff Mills, is playing in Fulchester soon, too! He's on in October (15th), so get tickets for that, and all. I doubt that he'll play Thank You, Ma'am (The Eulogy Mix) or Geordie Boys (Gazza Rap), but it should still be good.

That was a lot of bum licking. I'm a bit worn out now.
For the music nerds, here's how I made Thank You, Ma'am (The Eulogy Mix):
First I did this:
I'll be back next week with some reviews of stuff you can buy, on proper record labels. Enjoy the day off, all.
