you likely wouldnt play an old set and use it then but it would be a great addition once you have the top 40 young folks set going and connect the older crowd with the familiarity.

Pretty cool from a remix stand point... but, not very ummmm mainstream friendly.... there's just too much going on but I do like it.

I agree... way too busy for me. A really young crowd might like it, but I can't imagine anybody over 40 who would want to hear it. I am sure it took a lot of hard work, and I can appreciate that, but I wouldn't be playing at any of the events I do. And I do play the occasional remix.
 
In Toronto we play alot more progressive options as it is required even with the older crowds. I guess the ethnicity and diversity allows a different availability for this sort of thing.
 
thank you all very much for taking time to listen to my mix and giving in your feedbacks. I made this mix, since this track , I believe is not just mine, but a countless others' personal favourite till date. Secondly, clubs here at Chennai (India) belt out electrohouse and electronica mixes of this sort, though mine is a very subtle electronic mix, I made it , keeping the clubs in mind. Of course, I would keep in mind your feedbacks too, the next time I work on another english remix. Till then thank you so much. Especially my great friend Jon Tuck, who is always so supportive and friendly! :)
Cheers

Shaun, I forgot you are from India... I bet that will play well over there. I have done several events for Indian folks over here, and they do seem to like that style more than the US born folks do.

Too many silent bits . The dance floor will evaporate . Its kind of annoying the sound especially when sampling the already high pitched voices of the Bee Gees.

A continuous nonstop mix is not something I wanted to do...ppl on the floor would rather just be slapped with a monotonous drum pattern and bassline..breaks are intended to give the crescendo and besides, there are only 2 silent bits as far as i know. I eq'd the vocals and acapella so that they dont sound annoying..however if they did to u.. i dont know how..thanks for the feedback though!
 
Shaun remember one thing most of these guys are strictly Wedding Cheese DJs and therefore dont get the club type vibe some of this produces. I find it awesome and could mix at several different points with the solid breaks provided.
 
It's way too busy and very distorted. As in most of these re-mixes, it takes forever until the recognizable part of the song appears in the mix. Too many breaks that would clear the dance floor. It could be a lot shorter too.
 
Well maybe, I should think in the lines of what my friend Jon Tuck was saying here..I make my mixes for the clubs here in Chennai and other parts of India, and as far as I know, these mixes are doing pretty well in the clubs and pubs here..cos the DJ's mix em with cue points set so that, the breaks or silences are minimal.. I will hopefully make a mix for the marriage parties that you all perform soon and I hope it would be in your good books. But thank you so much for all your valuable comments, it was very helpful! :)

I like it. While we haven't done many club-themed shows lately I can see where this mix would be useful, even at moderated tempo if one prefers. Actually, one could mix in other Bee Gees sound clips for a Jive Bunny-type mix.

Jon brings a good point ~ club and wedding/private party are two very different DJ markets. Many wedding party DJs press the Play button on cue. Little true mixing is needed.

With clubs, there's more work and skill involved. A lot more. Just pushing Play and watching the floor ain't gonna cut it. This mix is a great example of a club DJ's skill set.
