Tempo mutilation

there's a comfortingly analogue aspect to this - you get all compression artifacts popping out if you try and slow down an mp3 or a yt too far isnt it?
i dunno what sort of kit people use to make these versions?
bouncing to cassette and then back OR 'compression limiting and eq tricks that Approach that sound' [doing this 'by hand' ie being very patient with in-box (ie DAW preset) effects or ones own pedals or racks units is better than doing this with "cassette emulator" VST's/presets] is how i get around this. there are also certain styles that work better as entirely digital slow edits ie with no analog patina fake or otherwise

this mixtape kicks off with Sally Oldfield's Moonlight Shadow slowed down to a sinister chug - lots of trainspotting fun - is that Snap - The Power? Berlin - Take My Breath Away? Abba? Power ballads & eurotrance, chopped & screwed, transformed into ket rave
one of the most 'summer 2010' things i've ever seen anybody post here [high compliments from Rich Entango]

cassette emulators no, I like tube amp emulators though. I have one installed in foobar 2000 for regular listening, makes the recordings more imperfect which makes listening on the ear more easy, digital is actually much better sound quality than vinyl, but it's too perfect.

If you got standard technics you can (as well as changing from 33 to 45) adjust the speed by plus or minus 8 on the slider, but if you have Vestax then you got plus or minus 10 on the pitch controller and you also have the ultrapitch control which means you can change the pitch a load more.

On NYD there were a load of djs at this shop on Hackney Road for Threads and this one guy did a kinda chopped and screwed set I guess - I've never seen it done up close like that. He was a huge guy wearing a ski mask kinda hunched over the decks - I think he was actually really shy and hiding his face but it was an effective look. I remember Rock The Casbah and The Model played at crawl speed.
