A friend of mine (yes I do have them!) will be competing for Great Britain at the European Disco Dance Championships this May, in Malta. He represented Great Britain at the Commonwealth Games in 2002 as well.

He urgently needs a dancey version of Bowie's Space Oddity (Ground Control to Major Tom). By dance he means a fast/funked up version. He adds "...It needs to have the slow initial intro (about 20 seconds) but then kick in so that we can dance to it. The mix should have a few short breaks for lifts and rests, etc. The song should be approximately 3 minutes long."

They would love to have a choice of tracks to choose from so if anyone has any ideas or would like to do a mix specifically for them, please let me know and I'll give you their contact details. Perhaps there are already some mixes out there???

I am led to believe the British team have a legal department who will deal with the copyright issues, etc.

Thanks everyone.

Bit of a coup for djs-united if we do the music for a medal-winning British team!

ill get to work on somthing now , maybe a chat with the person planning the dance moves would help make it better for there use.

Thanks Marc, I've PM'd you the details.

Brian mole might like to have a go at this also , as he has some new software he has been looking for a reason to use

Don't expect miracles!!! I'll try anything once except incest & morris dancing...

Dont agree , ads andy and i are firm fans of morris dancing so dont knock it !

I know, I've seen Andy in his kit, bells and all (lol)

Twice?? new glasses ?

Mikee,

you saw him twice

I tried Morris dancing once but I fell off the bonett

Just a Minor incident

Is morris dancing, training for tap dancing?

Tap dancing is safer... not so far to fall

With bad jokes like that - we shouldn't give up our day jobs !!!!


LOL


Anyway... back to the topic.. which was.....

Oh yeah...

A remix of space odity.. cool... i'm on it.. when do you need it by?
what sort of BPM we talking about? 140 ish?

It's quite a slow track, but the stereo separation is great

was thinking that my self

just trying to come up a decent tune to mash it up with is the only problem
