Back in the 90s, when music was free, there was an awesome SF DJ who went by the name of DJ Amanda. This person regularly uploaded amazing remixes and megamixes to the web, and was very prolific. Then one day, poof, gone.
The DJ Amanda website domain went up for grabs (and went to a junky ad site) and I have no idea what really happened. A shame too, because DJ Amanda was doing some might fine Mash-ups before that genre took off. I can only imagine what sort of mash-up we'd get today!
Now, there are a lot of DJ Amandas out there, but the DJ Amanda I am focusing on is this one, in my opinion, the "original." This cached page has a little bit more about DJ Amanda.
To show you a bit of the talent DJ Amanda has (had?), here is a great Disco Megamix. (I had to downsample it from 128k to 115 due to file size). This is a 30-minute mix of Disco classics, and there is not one dud in the bunch.
Enjoy!
Hey Darren,
DJ Amanda here :) i'm glad you remember my site and music.
