Stuntmasterz - Holiday Sounds Better With You Aug 22, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
Also known as "Music Sounds Better On Holiday", this 12" single-handedly spawned a whole new breed of bootlegs. This thing is quite possibly one of the untidiest mash-ups you'll ever hear on vinyl, but it's nothing short of genius. Seeing as Madonna never released an acappella of "Holiday", Stuntmasterz made a pretty mean effort of blending these two classic tracks together. Also of note, they've actually used the Spacedust bootleg "Music Feels Good With You" (SPACE 001) as the basis, as opposed to the original Stardust track.
Put up your hand if this is where you first heard anything by Daft Punk! Me.. me..! I heard their awesome remix of "Chord Memory" on this 12" way back when my housemate at the time brought it home one day. When we heard that rolling bassline kick in on our home setup for the first time, we knew these guys were going to do big things.

AV8 Records US later re-released this gem on the "Rock Da Discoteque EP" (AV 068), but interestingly they omitted the Daft Punk tradmark "WDPK 83.7, the sound of tomorrow, the music of today" station-ID voiceover which appears only on this original 12". A real shame. To those who don't have this original version: you're missing out!
Love this. Very much along the lines of the classic "The Time Is Now". All mixes are superb in their own right, although this particular 4-track release acts as somewhat of a sampler, as all versions are edits. Seemingly, the full-length versions are available only on the various DJ promo releases.
