Why would people visiting PP want to hear remixes? As opposed to album cuts, unreleased songs & live versions? Or is this in response to Brother Jules?... because nobody is buying his wanky remixes.

Something is going to be playing at some point. And to change up a song and make a remix makes the experience unexpected and different. Album cuts are good of course, but they aren't going to pull out a live version of a song, or an unreleased song when they are probably planning on releasing that stuff to purchase later on. You can't give away the whole thing and expect people to then purchase it too.

Jules is such a misnomer at this point. No one's reacting to him by doing six hours of mixes, believe me. I'm spending six hours at a time trying to ignore his idiocy. hahaha

How would playing a song you can't buy or illegally download over the sound system @PP hurt future sales of that song? It's not like Prince didn't have plenty of released remixes either.

I'm somewhat curious to hear them, but it's weird that they're going to be playing posthumous remixes rather than his actual music during tours.

I really think people are overreacting. Has anyone heard these yet? Her instragram post says they're mixes - not "remixes." So they're most likely the digital equivalent of the old-school mix tape - songs put together in sequence with a bit of overlap so the sound is seamless (i.e., no fades in or out, or jarring rhythmic changes, as songs begin and end).

That was my thought. It's background music, basically, for the museum tour. Beats Musak (sp).

Purple Muzak? (Pun intended.)

thank you DJ Lenka! back in the day gal used to ROCK the Park

If you haven't been on the tour, in some of the different themed rooms they have tvs with Prince videos from that era playing. They are all on mute. I don't think Prince would like that. In studios A they play a little bit of Ruff Enuff and a new song from those sessions. They need to crank that shit up and play it like it should be played...LOUD. Nothing was being played in Studio B. The soundstage they are showing live videos, but again this volume is pretty low. I don't recall any music being played in the L4OA/NPGMC room either. If they really want people to know what it was like with Prince in there, they need to be playing his music and loud.

i have to say her remix of SOTT & various other songs from that era are slammin'.

if you dont know about DJ Lenka you better get hip. She has been a in house Dj for Prince and our fan parties. Thank god for her mixes being played in the park. My absolute fav is Mad Sex / Pink Cashmere mix. Amazing.

So unless something has changed, I was at PP on the first day and they were playing all kinds of Prince music - well known and otherwise - all throughout the place. I'm not sure if that stopped or what, but I thought it was cool to be hearing CB tracks like Moviestar mixed in with all the usual suspects.
