If anyone should ever question what John Digweed did to earn his superstar DJ status, this transition will shut them the fuck up.

It's a great mix for sure, but there's no key change, Change is in D minor throughout.

First one that came to mind is Sasha - Belfunk to Chris Raven - I know you love me too on Northern Exposure 3. Epic.

You can hear the piano melody in Ocean Drive "go up" compared to how it plays earlier in the track. Perhaps it's just an octave switch.

I'd like to bump this oldie because of one transition I heard recently that absolutely blew my mind. LTJ Bukem on the Essential Mix back in 1995. I remember listening to this mix and there was one track in particular that was just unbelievably epic, I just had to find it. But I scanned the tracklist over and over, and none of the tracks matched up. Turns out it's two tracks, Bukem melding Aquasky - Dezires into PFM - The Mystics. You can hear it from about 3.15 here (embedding disabled): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zimzzn0WK3w. Pure sex.

I seriously think Bukem is one of the smoothest mixers I've ever heard. A lot of progressive DJs much renowned for their long blends actually keep it very simple when they play in clubs, but I've seen Bukem three times now and his mixing is always unbelievably smooth, just impossible to spot the gaps between tracks, and all on vinyl. I bumped into him in the toilets of The Wire club in Leeds just before he went on, and it was the only time in my life I've been genuinely star-struck.

Thanks for bumping this Jack. I just listened to that transition in Digweed's 1995 EM. Wow

It's a good thread, high time it got a bump. Bizarrely high proportion of Tiesto transitions nominated, though. 2008 was a simpler time.

8. Boogie Pimps - Somebody to Love (Main Club Mix) into
9. Lucas Prata - Never Be Alone (Valentin Club Mix)

One of the best quotes from Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas crescendoing into "galloping" synths from Never Be Alone, it makes me get shivers and goosebumps every time I hear it.
