it comes from back in the day when special mixes of hype tunes were done and just given to, er, VIPs.

i could be wrong, and usually am.

traditionally 'vip' usually refers to a mix that a producer does of their own tune to give to a particular mc or dj, e.g. them skream tracks with the "youngsta" samples on.

VIP to me is just a slightly diff mix for the producer's mates/big name DJs etc, maybe a slightly different version - there are plenty about which aren't 'specials' for one DJ (like the Chef special of Tapped).

Oris Jay has done some wicked VIPs (Rob One 7 springs to mind), and there's a nice Waterfall VIP on the myspace for 2nd II None - in both those cases there are just slightly diff basslines/edits.

That's always been my understanding. A remix done by the original producer.

yes mate, both on the LP. the Pop Pop VIP is actually a bit like the original was when it was first written - some bits were taken out of the original tune before it was released on Subtext, and they put them back in for the VIP.

The Lion VIP was just that (a proper VIP) for ages, pretty much noone had it at the time except Vex'd and J da Flex iirc.

That's a "special" not a VIP.

ThinKing has it on lock... not different enough to be a remix and done by the original composer/producer.
