I don't understand it - - the whole of the internet is abuzz about the new Die Antwoord song "Evil Boy" but when I try and find a copy of it on 12", I come up empty. Where the hell can I find it? Can I find it?
I am DJing a party for Halloween, and this song is a banger. Seriously. It's nuts. I don't have serato, and I'm not going to be able to afford it between now and Halloween, so I was hoping to find a copy of this song on Vinyl. But all of my usual sources for this kind of thing are coming up empty. Why is Die Antwoord's new "single" so hard to find on single? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Sadly, there haven't been any non-digital releases for any of Die Antwoord's stuff. They started out as mp3s, and as far as I know there isn't even a vinyl version of the album.

Best answer: Yeah, I'm with empath on this. This is the kind of tune I think you should be able to drop into a mix without any beat-matching – it's got a varying BPM anyway, and that dubsteppy swagger-boom clip it moves at means that if you have a beat that falls out on another song, you can fade over to this really quick and let it drop on the "ha!" at the beginning. I'd just edit up the MP3 really quick with Audacity so that it matches what you want, maybe looping it near the end so you can push it into another song the way you want. You could probably even do this with a little MP3 player plugged into the fader, since all you have to do is play the song at the right moment.

Response by poster: I cannot believe what a dope I am! I have an SP-404. I can just put it on there. The combined suggestions of empath and koeslitz brought me to this realization. Thank you both!!!!

Hook an aux-out from a regular cd player and play it first or do a quick cross-fade later without beat matching.
Ableton Live.
