Just worked hard, you lazy kids! Ironically enough, in 2011, when Sony Pictures came calling to recreate the mashup in cimena quality for the Sandler film 'Just Go With It,' they did indeed track me down full original stems of 'Breath' and instrumental + acapella of 'Cars,' but that super clean mix can only be heard in the movie and I can't make it available for download. Come to think of it, it may be nothing but bitter edge, with a kind of stoic pride deep inside the bitterness in that way Eastern Europeans do so well.

Kult are a legendary Polish rock combo, and their song 'Polska' is from 1992, so it's understandable that its refrain of 'Poland, we live in Poland' is probably not without a bitter edge.

Not familiar with Modern Talking? They're only the, and it turns out 'You Can Win If You Want' is basically the same exact chord pattern as 'Crazy.' I played it at Bootie Munich expecting a rousing ovation, but amusingly enough it was a total disaster and almost killed the floor entirely, and I've never played it since, but it makes me laugh. So in an attempt to ingratiate myself with the many nations of the EU, I tried to put together something appropriate for each location on the tour: 'Polska Boys' for Poland (see below), a 'Boulevard' mix with MC Solaar for France, and this ridiculous thing for Germany.

So, first I made the (mostly) instrumental version which I handed off to the project, which does a lot of repurposing individual sounds from 'Star Guitar,' and then I thought 'hey this could use some Ludacris in order to qualify as a mashup to play at Bootie' so I threw 'Stand Up' over it.

Ludacris 'Star Guitar Stand Up' The first version was created for fellow mashup DJ Electrosound's Chemical Brothers bootleg tribute album, and when he asked me I'd already had an idea rolling around my head for a remix that elucidated the Baltimore beat that kind of bubbles under in 'Star Guitar' so I was happy to have a deadline to whip me into shape.

Shannon 'Minuit Music' This one takes the datA remix of Tepr's 'Minuit Jacuzzi,' a track that already seemed to reference '80s freestyle, and makes that a little more obvious.
