this is some really good music

Really good mix Grim, a textbook example of what this game is all about. I actually thought the mixing was pretty good, all things considered. Definitely a couple of transitions I didn't realise had happened until the next track was a minute in. Great music all round too - that mid-section from Jarre through to Eryka Badu was sublime.

Thanks again for participating.

Never one for playing by the rules, the bastard gave me neither a tracklist nor a proper link, and promptly went on holiday before I could get such things from him. Hopefully when you listen all should become clear. El Freak/Schadenfreude/Epicaricacy/Jay Le freak does the classics. by Le Freak

Great. Just great. I really liked your intros into songs:]]. Never been really into mixes made by TAs, but this might make me change my mind. Definitely gonna check out your more 'normal' mixes. And those of other TAs aswell I think

Loving GrimReapers mix, a fine collection of music of which I didn't know that much of so thank you for introducing me to it. Strobe Light Network is a beautiful record.

nice mix grimm...the track you ended things off with sealed the deal for me, have not heard it in forever.

@bananas, thanks...i promise never to record my voice again

The Shamen! Very nice

w000t

Can't wait to listen to this when I get back from my trip.

Going to be honest here: there is nobody lined up for October. The person I invited declined and I haven't picked anyone else. Interest levels in the game are pretty low at the moment. We're talking ten replies for each mix.

keep it going. send out mass pms. imho.

even ten replies is not bad.

w00t! Ten replies is at least nine more than I expected to get. Usually wherever and whenever I post something, the threads become all quiet so I'm not at all surprised here.

So please keep this game alive!

+1

Keep the game alive!

I sometimes struggle to keep up with all the mixes out there. Even though it's only one mix a month I don't like to post reviews unless I've given it a good listen. I dunno, maybe consider doing it once every two months if you're not happy with the way things are going?

Hell, I'll stand in if that's what it takes.

Oh wait, I already did one...

Someone has stepped in, a TA legend to boot. Mix forthcoming today...

All right!

I'd also like to mention that no comments does not mean no listeners - I just checked my webpage stats and my mix is getting hits almost daily.

Nice! I should check mine then, curious....

This. I've personally enjoyed most of the sets in this thread, it's a great idea and would be a real shame if you were to stop with it Jack. Imo though these for the most part aren't really the types of sets I'd be critically reviewing the technicalities of, simply because these mixes seem to myself more for just showcasing people's favourite tracks. I'm not one for passing any judgements on others tastes either. Although I give full credit where it's due to some outstanding selections, placements, mixing and set construction.
There's still loads of other TA's I and others would love to hear compile a mix of faves/classics.

Definitely this. I have a hard time commenting on every set I download and listen to (which I feel bad about and try to make the time to write at least a few sentences about, even if I'm never very eloquent with my comments) and I know a lot of other people do as well.

Please don't stop the game. As Teezdalien said, there are still many TA's I'd love to hear a mix of favorites from and I've loved every set I've heard so far

This.
I have no knowledge of how to mix, so I find it hard to criticise and point out technical stuff

Well this game isn't about mixing or technical aspects. The whole point is to share music, and discussing it is a big part of that. It's disheartening when people just don't seem to register any visible interest.

Anyway, the game isn't going anywhere for now.

mikey is doing a mix?

I'm reeeeally looking forward to this next mix. The TL is delicious.

What tracklist? I don't see shit posted yet.

Hmm, looking at ziptnf's mix... that's definitely not most of the best tracks I'd choose for full on(most of them are pretty good, but not top 10). Gonna download and listen tonight

Echoes is just teasing, since she knows the man in question. Another genuine TA legend that this game would feel incomplete without, someone I'd planned to invite later who stepped in at the right time. He should need no introduction around these parts. The brother loves dubs...

This one sort of took a life on it's own after I decided what records I wanted to use and how to bridge them together. it's missing a lot of house, techno & eurodance records but I've played a lot of my favourites in my other mixes so I felt it was unnecessary really. It's beatmixed with a couple of exceptions where I used cuts or ambient mixing.


Moodymann - Mahogany Brown | KDJ 1998
This track was probably my introduction to KDJ, right around I got really into house and deeper house. The way he twists that Walter Murphy sample in and out is genius.

Blondie - Heart of Glass | Chrysalis 1978
Motherfucking disco.... I don't have to introduce this track in any other way

The Prodigy - Voodoo People (Dust Brothers Remix) | XL 1994
One of the biggest 'big beat' songs ever and I'm playing it because a) it's still awesome despite me pitching it up a lot b) in one of my favourite unrecorded sessions I do the a similar transition and I thought I'd recreate it

The Persuader - Gamla Stan | SVEK 1999
you can never go wrong with a Jesper Dahlb�ck production and especially when he was doing the persuader records on SVEK. It's not my favourite persuader record but I couldn't fit 'Djurg�rdsbron' into this.

Britney Spears - Stronger (Miguel Migs Dub) | Jive 2000
yeah, Britney, and later I play Kylie... I have a thing for remixes of pop songs, especially when they are this good. Miguel Migs took full advantage of Max martin's production but stripped everything down to the chords. A very seductive record and it's one of my all time favourite tracks.

Speedy J - The Oil Zone (Edge Of Motion Remix) | Plus 8 1995
A hauntingly beautiful track that I discovered through Dream Injection 2 and this starts the a large part I like to call motherfucking electro

Two Lone Swordsmen - We Change The Frequency | Warp 1998
I use this a bridge but it's a really nice track with that Weatherall type neo-electro swag, this was one the first TLS track I heard and always found a way to play it in my sets.

Kylie Minogue - Slow (Chemical Brothers Remix) | Parlephone 2004
The best looking record I have, not sleeve, but record. It's the newest track and it isn't by all means a classic but I love it, so it's a classic. However...

Model 500 - The Flow (Jedi Knights Remix) | R&S 1995
This one ups 'slow' by being electro and acid and using some scratching. discovered through 'brit hop & amyl house'. It's everything you want in robot funk

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five - Scorpio | Sugarhill 1982
Classic breakdancing track and it's all robot funk and all awesome, I couldn't breakdance but the tunes people danced to when breaking got many of it's second winds got me into electro. This concludes the motherfucking electro part but it ushers in the hiphop part

Janet Jackson - What'll I Do (Dave Navarro Mix) | Virgin 1995
Now for something different, I heard this on radio back in the mid 90's and it's basicly Janet's vocals with Navarro on guitar and (his then bandmates) Flea & Chad Smith on bass & drums, it's very funky and quite rocking.

Eric B & Rakim - Follow The Leader | MCA 1988
Nusically it's all about the bassline and the way the 'Nautilus' samples comes in is this. Lyrically this is Rakim in his prime and it's all brilliant

Saint Etienne - Filthy (Monkey Mafia Remix) | Heavenly 1996
I got very late into Jon Carter but I became a big fan quite into his stuff after finding the 15 Steps EP in a bargain bin. This remix of 'Filthy' beefs up the original and is a fun party number.

Busta Rhymes - Gimme Some More | Elektra 1997
This got into my head on the first listen and the video was pissfunny. Busta Rhymes had his way with vocal acrobatics and had a flow like no other.

Jay-Z - Is That Yo Bitch? (feat. Twista & Missy Elliot) | Roc-A-Fella 1999
This isn't by any stretch Jay-Z at his best lyrically but this has a beat that's signed Timbaland that is way ahead of it's time. It's more UK Grime than US Bounce and it's why Jay-Z still performs this to date. Also this introduced me right proper to Twista.

Way Out West - Ajare (Way Out West Remix) | DeConstruction 1997
I disliked this version for so long, it just wasn't 'Ajare' for me. Ajare which is one of my favourites because it's uniqueness. I made my mends with the club mix since this is brilliant in it's own way and I love the halftime breakbeat intro.

Baby D - Let Me Be Your Fantasy | Flex 1994
I don't care how overplayed this is, it's brilliant and it's all love. I hated the distorted bass part when I was younger, now it's the part I love.

Underworld - King Of Snake (Dave Clarke Remix) | JBO 1999
Incredibly funky techno, this represents Underworld, Dave Clarke & Giorgio Moroder. All geniuses in their own way and this is just so much fun to dance to.

Antiloop - Trespasser | Stockholm 1998
This was the Antiloop track that has had biggest impact on me, it's my favourite and I remember being 14 and going nuts to it at a 'rave'.

Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Man With No Name Remix) | Hooj 1999
My favourite trance track of all time, well this and Miranda's Gnocchi. not going to talk so much about it except it's just all brilliance.

Jam & Spoon - Right In The Night (Instrumental) | JAM! 1993
I'm 9 and watching MTV and hear this song with this weird video. Little did I know that the radio edit of the original cut off the best parts or it had an instrumental version that was brilliant. 'Right in the Night' was commercial in it's own way, but it was a good tune

Goldie - Angel | FFRR 1995
Onto my favourite drum & bass tune, It's short but shifts moods really well and with 4Hero on programming and Diane Charlemagne on vocals. It's a winner.

Dania - Ya Dallah | EMI 1998
To end it all i had to represent with something from the middle-east. The original is a well known song by Arabic singer Sabah, and this is a drum & bass type cover and I love it.
