Legitmix has shut down; Squirrel Trench continues

It is with great sadness that the music web site Legitmix has ceased operations. Squirrel Trench Audio had a terrific two-year relationship with that company. We hope all of the fine professionals working there have a very productive future ahead of them.

In the meantime, Squirrel Trench Audio will continue to supply you with the clean song edits and remixes that you have come to expect and love. We are still in business, and have been fulfilling dozens upon dozens of orders directly. We are working to find alternatives ways to present you with our catalog of clean edits and remixes, which at this point may be well over 1,000 edits and remixes.

I have begun work on a Google Spreadsheet listing just a few of the clean song edits and mixes created. As always, all music prepared by Squirrel Trench Audio is designed expressly for the needs of choreographers and dancers, and is musically seamless.

View the Google Spreadsheet of completed clean song edits and mixes here.

Encumbered performed by Eden Ryder

Squirrel Trench Audio is proud to have done the editing and mastering of the soundtrack for the routine titled Encumbered, performed by Eden Ryder and choreographed by Ausia Jones. This piece won 2nd place Contemporary at YAGP, and also won 2nd place nationally at Complexions’ Elite Dance Tournament at the LA Finals 2015.

Eden Ryder and Ausia Jones are students of Jacqueline Porter and The Dallas Conservatory.

The soundtrack for Encumbered is now available on Legitmix.

Uptown Funk Clean Lyric Sheet

bruno-mars-snlAs the creator of the popular clean edit of Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson, featuring Bruno Mars, I was recently asked to supply a lyric sheet of this cleaned version.

Here is a link to the PDF of Uptown Funk (Squirrel Trench Clean Version) lyric sheet.

The full-length clean version of Uptown Funk is available here on Legitmix for only $4.99. This clean version features the exciting intro as performed on Saturday Night Live, as well as being sped up slightly for maximum excitement while retaining the fantastic groove.

In some cases, the words “sexy” and “flaunt it” need to be taken out as well. For those instances, we have the super squeaky version where that has been eliminated also:

In addition, there are five edited versions available for just about any dance routine you might need; 2:58, 2:46, 2:32, 2:16, and 1:59. They are available individually for $9.99, or you can buy every length for $11.99:

Lyrics that have been eliminated from these clean versions include “damn” “bitch” and “put some liquor in it”. “Sexy” and “Flaunt it” have also been removed from the super squeaky clean version and the shortened versions. Click on the above PDF link to see the full lyric contents. Words that have been eliminated are shown with a strike-through.

We also do custom editing, so if you need a version of Uptown Funk, but didn’t find exactly what you need here, use the online Request Form here.

Jessie J is Burnin’ Up (Clean Edit)

jessie-j-burnin-up-videoJessie J’s song Burnin’ Up is a sizzling track, but there is some language not appropriate for young dancers. Squirrel Trench Audio has four cuts ready for your choreography, at routine length, and all potentially objectionable lyrics have been removed. Pick out the right length for your routine, 2:49, 2:33, 2:10, or 1:54, and take it home via Legitmix:

Two minute songs for dance recitals and competitions

Here is a collection of music, edited and remixed for your dance routines that need be two minutes or less, no matter if it’s being used for competition, recital, or talent shows. These songs cover a range of dance styles, including jazz, tap, lyrical, and contemporary. Some of these songs are fresh off the charts, and there are a few classics mixed in as well. You can purchase any of these songs individually, or you can buy the entire album of 16 songs for only $34.95*. That is a very large savings compared to buying all of them individually. Best of all, they are ready to be choreographed, no further cutting is required.

*The price for this album of 16 songs is $34.95, if you already own all of the original songs in it via your iTunes library. If you don’t already own some of the songs, you can purchase them for $0.99 or $1.29 as specified, when you checkout at Legitmix.

For those new to Legitmix: The way it works is that when you want to purchase an edited or remixed song, Legitmix checks to see if you already own the original song(s) in your iTunes purchased list. If you already own it, you only pay for the edited or remixed song in your shopping cart. If you don’t already own the original song in iTunes, you have the opportunity to buy that too, at the normal iTunes cost (usually $0.99 or $1.29). For more on how it works, you can watch this video, or go to the Legitmix site.

Take a listen and take them home if they are what you’ve been looking for! Feel free to leave any feedback in the comments below as well.

Song selections courtesy of Your Daily Dance

Your Daily DanceYour Daily Dance is a web site devoted to all things dance, and features dance tips, techniques, and resources, delivered nearly daily. (Phew! That’s a lot of work!) Your Daily Dance is the creation of Angie, a dance mom who now has a daughter in dance, and is a dancer herself.

One of the neat features of Your Daily Dance is that Angie has assembled a panel of experienced dance teachers, and when readers submit their questions, these experts offer their advice and insight. Samples of this type of Q & A can be found here in Getting More Height for Your Leaps and here in Mastering More Than a Double Turn.

Your Daily Dance also offers a very wide listing of song selections for all types of dance. You can subscribe to Your Daily Dance’s newsletter to keep the fresh music ideas flowing to your inbox.

Because Angie has her pulse on what’s hot in the dance music world, and keeps lists of songs that are off the beaten path, I asked her to send a selection of songs my way. I have edited these songs to typical dance routine lengths that are used for competitions, recitals, and talent shows, and made them available in Squirrel Trench’s Legitmix catalog, both individually and as an album. This fun collection of songs covers a variety of dance styles, including jazz, tap, lyrical, contemporary, and hip hop. While many edited songs in the Squirrel Trench Legitmix catalog are $9.99, most of the songs in this collection are being offered at the special price of only $4.99. And if you can use most or all of the songs in this special Your Daily Dance album for November of 2014, you can get buy all 8 of them (plus two variations) for only $24.95. That is a savings of more than 50% compared to buying them individually. There’s likely no better bargain in top-notch songs that are ready to be choreographed.
