Viola Wills Medley - Mixed and Remixed by Aussie DJ Remixes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2023
- I've done a few different versions of this mix but found for me that these tracks work best together. It was a lot of time and work to do this and is longer than a previous version I had on an old channel. I did alot editing and added stronger drum beats and percussion and effects. I don't have access to Multitracks and so I just put everything over the top of the original recordings as in every track I do. This is just a short representation of the career of Viola Wills, she has some nice tones in her voice. If you like what I do please consider liking and subscribing.

This medley starts with a more modern remix of “GGAWYN”(with the reverb Uh-huh), throws in a sampled string, then hits you with the original vocal mix. I almost screamed I was so delighted.
Then I heard the mix slide in those familiar trumpets from “IICRYM” (Studio 54 movie memories). It’s here Aussie DJ stuns with some really exciting elements that simply spice up what was already a favourite Viola track.
Next came a fabulous seg into “UOTR”. This brought back memories of my DJing days & wasn’t where I would have expected this track but oh what a joy to hear it included. Personally I’d have loved to have had those delicious strings more to the front, but I did love the extra funky vibe Aussie had given it even if it was a little heavy on the high hat.
“IYLMN” comes next. Let’s face it Viola could pretty much cover any hit & give it her own touch.
I never really did think her version of Yvonne Elliman’s “LP” was as iconic but nonetheless it still had the VW vibe, & I actually preferred the Aussie DJ treatment better than the original on this occasion.
Next up is “TTH” which again boogies with booty more than is legal.
It’s here we step up the BPM’s for another one from my DJing era with what appears to sound like a faster version of “SW”. It’s now that you feel Viola is gonna take this whole track to church with it’s gospel vocals.
By the time we hit “ICSCN” you understand why the BPM’s have increased & those soaring gospel vocals start to reach for the heavens. Viola seems to be channeling Sylvester & she reminds us we’re all here to just “EY”.
This medley is a testament & I’d venture to say a true love letter to the talent that has made Viola Wills such an enduring artist. When people collate their lists for the “Queens Of Disco” don’t forget to include Viola. This medley is pure gold. 🏆
PS: I’m hoping Aussie DJ tackles another Queen of Disco, Bonnie Pointer with “Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch” & “Heaven Must Have Sent You” sometime soon to compliment this piece.
"These Things Happen" is one of my favourite VW tracks.

👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Excellent megamix 👍 very groovy and the way you handled the increase of bpm is really good 👌
Thanks Marc 👍I can thank Ableton for the BPM increase keeping it in Key. I did a much shorter version back in 2016 and only used 5 tracks but it sounded like it was over in 2 minutes when I would listen to it so I set out to do a longer one, it's taken awhile trying to make sure every beat stays in time with added drums, every beat was warped manually in Ableton and trying to find all sorts of effects ,instruments etc that fitted in. When I had the shorter version on the channel years ago I received a message from a man that did a radio show in Detroit USA and asked if he could play it on his show, I was grateful for that, he actually knew the guys from Hot Tracks .Glad you like it and Thankyou for your kind words.
Love this , I was raised in my gay life on Viola Wills. Great memories
Haha, yeah me too, unfortunately here in Australia way back we didn't get a great deal of disco music to buy unless you went to an import record store in Sydney. They did release Read my Mind and Get Along Without You on 12" singles and I purchased both them and hit the dance floor when they came out, it was a great time in life and music, I'm glad you like it and Thankyou for your kind words. 👍
@@AussieDJRemixes Yes we had the same issues in Ireland back then. My friends used to go to Spain , Benidorm and various other European cities on holidays and bring back stuff we couldnt get here. I remember getting special dance mixes of Secret Love , Both Sides Now etc. I also had a very friendly DJ pal who worked in our local Gay club and while he was playing the tracks at night - he used record them on cassette tape for me - Shhhhhh don't tell anyone hehe
Haha... good one, you would do anything to get a hold of a track. I'd search hight and low to get a copy, that was my love of music. I didn't know then that five years later and a lot of practice I would be Djing at the gay bars in Sydney. I put my heart into it because of my passion for music. I ended up hosting the most popular night at one bar which strangely was a Sunday night, the place was packed. I did that for six years every Sunday night. 85-91 I had a great time even though I was working but I didn't consider it to be work because I was doing something I loved so much.
@@AussieDJRemixes You were living the dream my friend :)
