VIP Songs

[nvening]

This has been puzzling me for a while now - what does the VIP stand for in song names??

eg Masochist VIP - Pendulum

[unreal]

Never seen it myself! Must be specific to that sorta genre, even though I have my fair share of DnB

[RoBe]

i'd assume it just means Very Important Person, same as every other VIP i've ever heard

though it doesn't really make sense in that context

[MadduckUK]

it stands for "verifyably inverted penis" and its a serious condition so it shouldnt be questioned

[nvening]

lol - ok i have about 40 tracks which have this, all dnb, apparently they are "VIP mixes"

?

[Agent]

I'm sure it stands for something other than Very Important Person, I just can't remember what.

Maybe it's like a pre-production/release version of a tune, made available to VIPs (in the known sense of the acronym), and VIP is stuck onto the name to distinguish it from the original release?

Or maybe someone's conducting a marketing experiment.

According to google a guy by the name of noisia produced some remixes for pendulum. Another site gives the impression its the names given to unoffocial remixes pendulum did themselves.

They are essentially a marketing tool. Sometimes known as "dubplates" they are often, either unreleased recordings (which may or may not end up being made available to the general public) or exclusive versions/remixes of existing recordings. They tend to be given out to leading figures in the scene, basically to give professional DJ's a competitive advantage over "home-DJ's".

It's labelled like that when the original artist re-mixes their own track basically.

That's the general info I've got from a few music websites (Drum and Bass Arena forums ) and such like
