The Mash Up Mix essentially takes instrumentals and vocals from various well known dance tracks and blend them together to create entirely new versions.
What with the plethora of 90's revival dance compilations out lately, it was only a matter of time before MoS took this idea to the next level by getting the Cut Up Boys to create a 90's mash up.
Of course, by 90's, what's meant is super-cheesy chart-bothering dance-pop from the likes of Sash!, Whigfield, Outhere Brothers, 2 Unlimited and The Shamen. Perhaps not ideal for the more serious clubber, but if these are the tracks you jumped about to at your local youth club/nightclub/school disco when you were a teenager, this is the perfect nostalgia trip!
On top of this, the mixing is something to behold. From the opening track on CD one, where they've managed to intricately splice SIX tracks together, to very simple ideas like simply overlaying Sandy B's `Make The World Go Round' directly over The Farm's `Groovy Train', the Cut Up Boys are once again at the top of their game.
My only small criticism is that one or two of the Acappella's used are cover versions of the original vocal, but this may be due to licensing or even pitching issues and they don't spoil the overall experience.
Overall though, this is an utterly genius mix, the most accessible and fun mash up mix in the series so far and a perfect party soundtrack for those who remember the good ol' days!

Thank heavens for this, finally a 90s compilation worth having! I don't expect everybody to be the same as me but I heard these songs to death while I was growing up but, even so, when 'Big Hits The 90s' came along I rushed out to buy it! The songs were good for the first minute or so and then I was getting bored.
The innovative style employed by the Cut-Up Boys for their compilations is definately a winner here: Each track on the CD is typically comprised of at least 2 songs expertly 'mashed' together, re-inventing them in a way you'd never thought possible and breathing a whole new lease of life into these records!
If you are looking for a 90s compilation to buy, this is it! Give it a try and if you like it I would strongly recommend checking out the Cut-Up Boys previous MOS albums.

I did enjoy this CD and its a brilliant new way of listening to 90s music, some of the combinations are genius. However, it was really let down by the fact that many songs (e.g. Sing it back, Let me be your fantasy, Ice Ice baby and many more) were not originals which made it feel like those awful covers you hear in Clinton Cards or Pound Land which are done to avoid them paying too much in royalties. You expect more from the Ministry of Sound!!

Blast from the past
If you were clubbing in the 90's this album is for you and even if you weren't this album is great. All the best bits of the main tracks of the era put together in a seemless mix. Read more

Mashup 90's
Really good double CD, just wish it didn't have a couple of the more cheesy tracks on it but it's more than saved with some excellent mash ups.

Old Skool all mashed up
Hadn't ever heard any mash up music before picking this up, but being a keen listener to old skool music I decided to give it a go. Read more

Great album
Like most people I have pretty much every dance track from the 90's spread across hundreds of CD's but the mixes in this are well worth the purchase. Read more

Great for keeping you motivated whilst doing the decorating!
Really liked this CD, will be looking into getting some of the other versions. Took me back to my youth listening to the tunes on this cleverly "mashed" together.

Just the same old 90s tunes
When I saw this advertised on TV I thought it might be worth a listen. And on first listen it seemed to be a good buy. Read more

Best of recent mashes
After the first three very successful Mash-Up Mixes, the others just weren't on the mark for me, except for the occasional brilliant find. Read more

A bit disappointing
I was really looking forward to this, the TV advert made it look amazing and real fun. There's quite a lot of great 90s songs but unfortunately they are mixed in with some absolute... Read more
