Topic: My new dj-mix (old cbs classics & some new)...

Heyhey Guys...

No much words:

https://soundcloud.com/bender101-1/alinas-italo-hitmix

Mixed with love & vinyl in one take... therefor, no perfect transitions... tongue  Maybe too much (or less?) drinks, while doing... big_smile
But, it's still fun listening, I guess...

Can post a tracklist later.

Have funfun!

Yup nice, ...not too many wonky transitions,  at least you didn't hang around too long in a sloppy mix trying to rescue it(eject!eject!)  I always found Kermesse – Mrs Moon a bastard to mix out of.

Hey, thx for your feedback! smile

What exactly do you mean with "eject!eject!" for rescueing a transition? How does this "technique" appear?

Not only Kermesse is a bastard... B.Rose is a lil' bitch, also... big_smile (and so are many other italos) In the beginning of B.Rose, the drumbeat is somehow "schief und krumm" (=no "even" beats). I consider this track as almost impossible to mix, without little beat stuttering and manual correction. I really wonder how Intergalactic Gary achieves it, to mix sooo perfectly, everytime. Even live, even with vinyl and even with the old "non-quantized" and un-even cutted italo-vinyls. It's just flawless, everytime... not the tiniest mistake or even correction is audible. Yeah, I know: "practise, pratisce and even more practise..."  tongue Anyways... sometimes, you can beatmatch yourself to dead and 2 tracks won't really work together, anyway.

But of course, most wonky (nice word big_smile ) transitions are resulting from a lack of preparing time & also lack of hearing.

The "technique" is simply if it's all going tits up, get out quick wink I think that's a mantra for life as well as DJ'ing.
