The Kpopcast

In case you were out of the loop, Gangnam Style has become something of a viral international phenomenon. Transcending borders, this kpop hit has begun to see air-play on California mainstream radiostations. The hit has become so popular that it has even surpassed SNSD’s “Gee,” the national anthem for kpop, in YouTube views. What does this say about the future kpop?

Whether or not this is a passing trend, we here at Spin Kpop want to keep you DJ’s well-equipped to weather the Gangnam storm. The following collection of Gangnam Style mashups, edits and remixes has been in the works for some time. Drawing off the popularity of our two former Gangnam Style Edits, we’ve seen the community-need for a larger selection of Gangnam Style content. Now serving as the definitive hub for quality variations on the Gangnam Style single for DJs, we’ll update this post as new releases are made by the community. Check out our compilation after the break.

• [130 BPM Key of Bm] Paparazzi Style (intro) (clean)
  • SNSD’s “Paparazzi” acca used over the official instrumental of “Gangnam Style.” It’s dj friendly with an intro and outro. Samples “The Boys.”

• [130 BPM Key of Em] Gangnam Hoi Hoi (intro) (clean)
  • PSY’s “Gangnam Style” acca used over the instrumental of Rainbow’s Hoi Hoi. It’s a long song with a number of re-used phrases to make sure it remains coherent and in key. We used the instrumental of the verse in the dj-intro given the nature of the song — mix accordingly. Note that the rainbow single is one that raises 1 semitone after the bridge so the song starts at Em and closes at Fm.

• [130 BPM Key of Dm] Gangnam Baby (intro) (dirty)
  • PSY’s “Gangnam Style” acca used over the instrumental of BigBang’s “Fantastic Baby.” One of our more developed mashups here, it samples BigBang, Sak Noel and Hyuna. DJ friendly and ready to be deployed as a banger.

• [132 BPM Key of Bm] Gangnam Love Tension (intro) (clean)
  • 4Minute’s “Love Tension” acca over PSY’s “Gangnam Style” instrumental. Samples “Hot Issue” by 4minute. Grr’s, you leddy? We provided the Dj edit here.

• [128 BPM Key of Bm] GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일) (DOLCE & BOND REMIX)
  
  • The Dolce & Bond remix is the harddest hitting EDM remix available to date. It samples Daft Punk/Kanye West throughout. It’s DJ friendly with a 64 beat into and outro. It’s a track to play for the electro-friendly crowds, for sure. The vocals in this remix are a little quiet depending on the sound system they’re heard through.

• [130 BPM Key of Cm] Gangnam Paso (intro) (dirty)
  • PSY’s “Gangnam Style” acca used over the instrumental of Sak Noel’s “Paso.” Dj friendly and ready for latin/euro-friendly gigs.

• Place holder for Epitone & Blue Satellite’s remix

• [132 BPM Key of Bm] My Neck, My Gangnam Style
  • What can be said about this mashup that hasn’t already been said? It’s dirty and flawless. Because this accapella had been placed with everything else, maybe this mix was inevitable. See the ProphetBlog’s comments on it.
