I initially got this CD for the remix of Body Movin' because I'm a big Beastie Boys fan. I'm glad I got this compilation becacause I discovered a lot of good DJs that are on it (DJ Spooky, Leftfield are great!) A friend remommnded it to me and sent me a link to hear some tracks and I was like, OK they sound pretty cool and Body Movin's on - guess I'll give it shot. So I did and it rocks! Been playing it on my car on my way to school everyday and I get lots of good comments on it. Good stuff- I certainly recommend it!

As a part-time amateur DJ myself, I must say this cd is amazing. This cd is superb, whether you want to rock 'da house' or to simply liven up your party at home. With great names such as Asian Dub Foundation (which opens the cd), Primal Scream, BT, Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim (need I say more about these two?), Massive Attack and Moby and his "Natural Blues" hit among others, you are in for a real treat. It's a double cd, so it's double fun. I often find these "djs compilations" rather weak, but this one changed my mind 180 degrees. I'm eagerly waiting for the volume 2.
50,000,000 DJ's surely got it right and now they're 50,000,001!

Overall, this CD is fantastic. It's one of the best DJ compilation out there and it has some good and hard-to-find remixes by Fat Boy Slim. The remix of the Beasties' "Body Movin" is kikin'! Way to go Slim! Moby has a good remix as well. There are some other tracks from DJs I didn't know before which are very cool....especially that Kid Koala track. I'd recommend this to anyone who is seriously into the DJ culture or who wants a good intro to it. Great for parties.

best cd I ever bought. recommended by a guy at Electric Fetus in Minneapolis (but they didn't have it). so thanks

This double cd set is a wonderful collection of some of the finest mixes out there. Some of the biggest names are on here including: Fatboy Slim, Moby, The Beastie Boys, and the Chemical Brothers, just to name a few. Listening to this CD is like having a DJ in your own home, with over 2 hours of some of the finest mixes out there. I love this compilation and can't recommend it enough!

It's like the only techno, electronic, & dj album you need. Lasts over 2 hours!!!
Never before heard remixes by FatboySlim, Moby, Massive Attack,Underworld,Beastie Boys,The Chemical Brothers, etc.

The only reason I didn't fall asleep during the highly repetitive and washed out tunes of "50,000,000 DJ's ..." is because I was on the road.
Okay, repetition is a trademark of "techno" cd's, but when the sounds repeated combine ancient squaking horns and leaf raking, I find my patience dwindling rapidly. As I bribed my ears to take in the blandness of the energy-less electro sounds, various singers somehow moved along with the music, adding in a mixture of hip-hop rapping, drolling grunge, and spastic turn-table-lapsing word repeating (such as "body movin" repeated possibly 80 million times on one of the tracks).
I regretted almost every second of this album. There are a few moments when a slick beat gets moving with a few complementary zip/zap fillers in the background, and this pulls my rating up for a total of two stars. Unfortunately, the joyous beats often turned sour when rough transitions with awkward, cracked electric-whistles or the ramblings of an anti-groove vocalist came to play. On top of all this, it seems like the whole recording process was filtered through an oversize sea sponge - not much bass depth or tone richness can be detected.
I recommend this CD pack if you have some strong headache medicine.
