Which DJ makes the best mix comps?

Let's hear some opinions on this. I nominate Sasha for the following reasons:

The Northern Exposure series is my all-time fav. mix series. Every single CD on each one of these albums just blow me away. Music the way it was meant to be.

GU 9, 13 are incredible albums also. Especially 13.

I find the mixing on all of these CDs to be PERFECT and the tracklistings are also superbly chosen.

It really pisses me off when some mix comps aren't quality. I mean, you've got all this equipment and all this time to produce and 80 minute cut of music. Any half-assed DJ should be able to get the mixing perfect and find a tracklist that works under these conditions.

Tiesto has the best mix compliatons IMO.

I'd agree with sasha, flawless mixing.

Dave Clarke

you get none of that pro tools dj crap that most dj's use. His mix cd's are live one take mixes, not that computerized crap.

Oakenfold.

Another World, Tranceport, Cream, the GU's, etc...

Posted by speedracer_mec on Apr-08-2003 22:17:

its always a big celebration and party when oakenfold delivers a new compilation

Posted by BLuEOcEaN420 on Apr-08-2003 22:43:

Sasha, Dave Seaman, J00F, Red Jerry...

Kai Tracid makes some pretty good mix cd's

Posted by torontotrance on Apr-09-2003 00:21:

tho I must add that GU 013 is the best of the gu series...nothing compares.

Oakenfold's Cream 2CD was class

so was gu015,gu023,gu024

Posted by Slade on Apr-09-2003 01:21:

lol @ flawless mixing

of course its flawless

almost all compilations are mixed on pro-tools...

the only one I can think of that hasn't is GU007 when Oakenfold asked to do it live.

Posted by JudgeJulez on Apr-09-2003 01:30:

Question-

Was Oakey's Cream Resident done live, or was the crowd noise just canned?

Personally prefer EM's and other livesets to album comp's, right now I'm really digging the Howeller though

Posted by enigorian on Apr-09-2003 01:46:

i like armin's comp. albums like in the state of trance, in motion etc... also ferry's global trancemission, and tiesto's magik series... but the best so far is armin's boundary of imagination album.. that's my fav.

Yeah, but still, some comps have tracks that don't quite fit together. There's just no excuse for that, especially if you've got pro-tools.

I like Tiesto's in search of sunrise compilations. AWESOME track selections...they just take you off in a journey
