Direct Hit remix service from the 90's can be found at Amazon and Itunes. I am shocked I found this out. The remix of Jam and Spoons - Right in the Night, is just beautiful. Enjoy!

Enjoy! jimminy crickets....how on earth did they pull that off? I could be wrong but weren't they on the wrong side of the line in terms of clearing their licensing and getting permission from the labels to release their mixes? I almost remember that being the reason for their demise. Nowadays of course things are different, sites like Dramamix, Crooklyn Clan, Rated H, etc - I think labels just kinda look the other way and chalk it up to publicity for the artists and the records. Direct Hit was a great DJ-service promo company though, their stuff was always top-notch. My favorite remix of all time for Whitney Houston "So Emotional" was done by them, original production from the acapella. Don't remember who the remixer was, but dayum it was amazing. And to this day, their remix of 1999 is the only thing by Prince I care to play whenever I do a live DJ gig. |

And that's not all. Eddie Baez's remixes of "Who Knew", "She Works Hard For The Money", "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and "Me And You" are available for purchase too. When I first saw it, I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me after a couple of drinks, but it was really there. As far as I know, some of those were not commissioned mixes. Link |

Linkvery VERY cool! Thanks for the headsup, I just bought his mix of "Who Knew" ....although nothing can ever top what Jason Nevins did with that song - how I wish he had done a full mix, all I've ever been able to track down is the edit. Eddie Baez' mix of Donna Summer was "released" a year or two back on the mashup/bootleg website www.dramamix.com where he was a fellow DJ/remixer of mine. I don't think his stuff is on there anymore though. Mine sure is though, all my full-length mashups are exclusively on Dramamix - go to www.dramamix.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=60 for Britney, Madonna, Janet, Mariah, Rihanna, Celine, Leona, Cyndi, Ashlee, Kylie, Spice Girls, Christina Aguilera, and many more. **end of cheap plug** |

A heads up for those interested in Direct Hit, new volumes are being released about once a week. Also Direct Hit stopped calling them volumes and started calling them SECTOR. Sector 1 was just released, It has Robert Miles'-Children and Sunscream's-Exodus. I think this cd is one of their best.
