I figure after all the hard work extracting the Bon Jovi acapella from a surround sound disc and then meticulously realigning those vocals up to a click track, I might as well actually release this. No use wasting all that hard work!
This one combines the vocals from Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name” with the electropop instrumental backing of Dragonette’s “I Get Around.” I’m sure it’s safe to assume that the Bon Jovi stuff is familiar territory, but chances are you might have never heard of Dragonette. They are a Canadian band that kind of reminds me of Elastica, although my friend Rudy — who introduced them to me — says they sound like a cross between Gwen Stefani and The Sounds. In any case, it’s a great band that’s worth checking out — after you’ve downloaded my mashup, of course!

BTW, the awesome cover is created by one of the most talented designers in the scene today, Simon Iddol. Hire him!

So….are they vocals isolated pretty clearly on the 5.1 disc, or is the backing covering up a lot of bass/percussion. Sounds like it’s pretty clean.
My roommate…she’ll LOVE this!
There is a bit of bleed from the percussion and synthesizer. I run it through a gate to tame it (ie. mute it during quiet parts). The end result sounds pretty decent over a busy enough instrumental track.
Hope you and your roommate likes!
Finally this gem is out!!!!
You know how much I love this, sorry for the long wait for the cover, but I hope its worth it
Glad you decided to release it, mate. I think it’s brilliant. Well done /Cc
Hey Matt,
you’re not a believer in embedded MP3 players, are you?
Tried 3 media players on this Ubuntu workstation until I gave up.
Now let me find a Windows machine …
Hi, Peter –
I fixed that — sorry. I used to have a media player that was all set up with Webjay and then that went away. I’ve set it back up again with Yahoo’s Media Player. Check it out.

Love it; just put it in my top 10 at the Isle.
Friggin’ Schweet! Great job on this one!
Once again, solid material from DJ Matt Hite. Good work!
this Yahoo Media Player is HOT!! I have to test it
Nicely-done.Has that hard-to-get appealingness.
Thanks for more.
I’m just starting to get into remix’s and have no clue how you ripped the vocals from a track, but it sounds really good.
