Some more successful people than me (i.e. nearly everyone) have professional people and companies to make videos for their tracks, which they can project behind them on large screens while they do their DJ sets. Me? I have to gather up material, and sit here for about ten hours, cutting and pasting and moving and removing and cutting and pasting and stretching and inverting and more cutting and pasting until my home computer starts waving a white flag out of its' 3.5" floppy drive slot. So, around 300 edits and a couple of migraines later...
The track's still on Soundcloud, and at the moment you can download it in 320k mp3 format from there - the offer will last until the tail end of the year, when my premium membership runs out. Don't delay, click today, etc. Do feel free to spread this video around the internet. I won't mind. I doubt I'll get a billion views, but let's not be defeatist too early, eh? Turn it up.

Yes! it works - excellent!
Friggin Mega!
One of the best I've seen or heard.
Do not despair of the resentful sneering from your elitist critics. Excellent production values! The two songs make a perfect pair, and wonderfully blended. Bravo!
If you did this the way you said, you're a fuckin' genius. To your critics......I would ask what contributions of their talent besides running their mouths have they given to the talent pool. I bet their pool says it's so shallow there is no diving allowed. I will tell them all this.
I am trying to share your film, after a cool and benevolent friend has done for me.
BRAVO to you...it is most excellent.
:-D
Awesome job! Great work, kick against the pricks!!!
It. Is. FOCKING. GREAT.
Love how you keep the essence of both them songs.
Sounds like one of those "Nine months later I'm an overnight success" stories. Great work, dude.
Just goes to show that Bonzo could improve anything. :-)
Thanks, folks!
n'importe qui avec un talent musical regretterait passé les cinq minutes, il faudrait pour ce faire, le faire, plutôt que quelque chose de plus gratifiant, comme la perte d'une main dans la machinerie de ferme.
I freakin' LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're an amazing talent finally being recognised methinks. I've just "stumbled" on your god given talent by chance per say and already I'm hooked. Not bad for a boy from north Wales! You've cracked it mate. Sincerest well wishes for the future. We all shine on
cheers.
I just discovered this last week. I can't stop listening to it. It's phenomenal, 99.9% seamless and totally organic sounding. Absolutely brilliant.
Sorry, I don't check the comments on here very often, so I'll just say thank you to everyone above. It really is appreciated. :)
it's great!
