Subject: Collaborative Challenge: Menegaux Megamixen

Written By: Foo Bar on 12/19/11 at 10:16 pm

Epic Sample Time:

I've just discovered Victor Menegaux via his epic 41-minute megamix Let's Gaux:

(For those playing the home game, MP3 available for free download directly from the artist's website and from his SoundCloud page.  At least until SOPA passes, but that's a topic for the politics thread, but this here's a thread about sampling.)

So here's my first pass at it.  

There are 218 tunes mixed in 41 minutes.  I've got - at most - 80something.

LET'S GAUX!

Sample: 40:28, (Double Dee and Steinski, who sampled it in Lesson 1 - The Payoff Remix, but what's the source for the sample "And say children, what does it all mean??)

OK.

That's about 1/3 of it.  If you know your 90s/00s hip-hop, you're needed here, because you should get a lot of the things I missed.  Let's gaux.

Wow, this guy is trying to outdo Girl Talk obviously. I will give it a listen later, thanks for sharing this. I love way out there mashups.

Edit..um, does anyone know where I can download this onto an Android?

Download .zip onto PC, extract from PC, load onto phone like any other music from the PC.  Or find an unzip app for the droid.  (At least on a PC, the MP3s, unzipped, are directly downloadable from the SoundCloud page.)

Also on my list is a run through the Audiophile mix, which is of comparable length and complexity to Let's Gaux.
