DJ Mixes Megathread Mk.2: Rise up, and don't falling down again

When posting tracklists, how do you guys determine how to write the tracks, like in what order the info is spelled out? jonmitz for example does Title - Mix - Artist while many others do Artist - Title - Mix... Is there a specific reason behind that, like the program used to make the mix or something? Or maybe something like focus on track vs focus on artist? Is it a conscious decision at all?

As soon as I see the name Peppelino in a mix, I'm grabbing it.

edit: enjoyed it greatly, thank you!

Dude you have no idea my mad scientist masterpiece in the works. I've been obsessed with Screw tapes, where he's playing hip-hop super loving slow. So I'm experimenting with that poo poo in all genres. I've been lots of stuff in the 130-140 range, slowed down, and it works GREAT. I'm mainly a hip-hop guy, so figure I've got a lot of tracks in my crates that are like 80 bpm!

I need to get a set together, but I've been super busy with gigs lately...

I did a radio show with slowed-down music some years ago, and there are a lot of tunes that really gain a lot from that treatment, many goa and schranz records sound just brutal at slower speeds.

Here's my first one in 2 years, almost to the day actually. Mix of old, new, and really new. More about track flow and feel than s8ck transitions but I still try to take care with it all, details are really important to me. Feedback and all that appreciated.

That Symbol One track is so loving demoscene it hurts. I wonder if they actually composed it themselves or ripped off some Amiga scener. Loving the whole mix, and jonmitz' one too. Thank you both!

303F - Rising (Original Mix) - Basic Beat really solid with a nice atmosphere too it. can't stop listening to this one.

Hah! That's Jay and Neo, old pals from the demoscene. Jay used to be one of my biggest influences when I was starting to do get into making music more seriously. Saw them live in 07, it was pretty awesome. They're twins!

By the way... I've officially hijacked this page

Something that I've noticed with your mixes (and from this thread, yours only so far), is that you frequently have the kick drums of two songs colliding in a way that makes them drop the bass more or less completely. For a quick example, take the transition in Laminar Flow 17 @ ~55 minutes in. I can't imagine it's a conscious decision because it really takes away from (at least my) enjoyment of the mix. I keep wondering if it's a software thing, or some kind of phase issue with my listening equipment or what, but it's pretty irritating sometimes. Have you ever noticed it while playing at a club? How about at home?

Dunno if this is the right thread for this, but is there some sort of "DJ yellow pages" where you can look up who's playing at what club in a city in the coming days? My cousin and I are going around Europe for a month this summer and I'd like to be able to see who's playing that night when we're in, say, Madrid or Paris.

Most European cities have free magazines with that kind of info, you can get them in caf�s and so on. They'll be on the web too.

Anyway, here's my deepish/dubby/techy house mix for this month, not sure if anyone really listens to these (most of my listens come from the tmb forums), but if you do feel free to give feedback.

Well, I for one have been downloading and enjoying every one of your mixes so far, and I've had passengers in my car ask whose mixes I was playing. Sent them a couple of your sets. Do you have a homepage/myspace/whatever?

Well thanks, I appreciate that. I have a facebook that I use (though rarely), but nothing specifically oriented towards dj mixes. You can look me up on facebook and add me there though (I live in Milwaukee, WI).

Sorry, I'm not on facebook. You should get a small blog, or twitter or something

Um, I think he means he doesn't know how to do a cue file (there are plenty of generators and tutorials for that online)... How would a cut mp3 help him? Cutting out a track from a live set won't give you the full track anyway. The way I understand it is he wants to be able to skip/search tracks but everyone's reacting as if he complained that the unmixed versions weren't included.

To all you Goons I present my latest mixtape. Mostly European mainstream techno dating back to 'the golden age of techno' 1999-2004. And for all that don't know what that means: It's loud, it's fast.

Mixed on two SL1200's and a Xone:92, with a few small slips of the finger, but nothing too bad.

Check it at Soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/sjoewe/spread-the-virus

Enjoy!

This looks really good. Track 30 is one of my all time faves.

edit: Some hiccuppy transitions but a killer track selection

Congratulations, that makes you a DJ!

Just kidding, but seriously, I've met WAY too many DJs that are all like "WHAT?! You're not spinning on Tech 12's*?! Well, then you're not even really DJing, ya ask me."

*You can replace "Tech 12's" with whatever equipment they currently use to fit the situation.

that's the first couple iterations of this thread, right here

I kind of disagree. On bedroom mixes, where there's no crowd, mixing is really all you can shine on.

Guys i did a set of my own stuff last night and it was amazing. I'd never DJed before, and first sat down with Traktor on Wednesday to prepare the tracks and start practising. Picked up the ways of the program over the rest of the week and then borrowed a friend's S4 controller and went to town. There was simply no transition period between controlling Traktor with a mouse and with the S4. I'm so close to buying my own

. A couple of spotty transitions but I kept the whole room dancing for 3 hours so I'm very happy. Nobody told me how physically exhausting this poo poo is! I admit I was hopping around and flialing my arms a lot, with a huge stupid grin on my face. I wish I'd gotten around to learning how to record a mix from Traktor though, I have no recording now

But that's okay, I have my memories
