Took a listen to it yesterday and am currently re-playing it. Holy shit it's freaking awesome, there are a lot of songs that really stand out and define the set for me - the filtered funk intro song, the Martini Brothers song, the one with the wobbly, pitch-shifted vocal, the uplifting piano song. The pacing was excellent - switching back and forth from techier, more percussive numbers to funky, hook-based tunes - it didn't ever fall into a rut that many tech/deep house mixes do.

Mixing is tight and on point, although I wasn't crazy how you mixed in Caminando during its beatless intro... it didn't really seem like it blended in well with the previous track because of this. It's a cool song, and it does work as a suitable end in the overall context of the mix. Still a small complaint, in an overall fantastic set. I expect this to get a LOT of plays for me, and a few of those songs will be sitting in my BP crate by the end of the day.

So now where's my next mix with Filo and Peri - Anthem on it

There's another video where it seems it didn't go down to well...no movement from the crowd.

I still think someone needs to do a Schindler's List remix.

The Tiesto approved bit got me, I'll give this a try. Haven't listened to circle jerk House in a long time...


Posted by Sushipunk on Aug-20-2009 08:27:

Damn it Jay, this is yet ANOTHER set where the tunes/style were unexpected. And I really liked it. My gf did too

Seriously though, what does a negro have to do around here to get you flicking through your collection, and recording a nice filthy techno set? I still listen to your older mixes quite a bit, but I want something new along those lines, since no one seems to be doing it any more

@Sushi, i just have not been buying stuff like that lately. What older set do you enjoy the most? Maybe when time permits i could go through some of the older stuff and do something in that style

I want Meet The Wangs, without meeting your wang


Posted by enydo on Aug-22-2009 03:33:

Meet The Wangs was sick, I think that was the first set of Jay's I heard.

I still need to listen to this, school just started up again and I've been going and goin.


Posted by lenazi on Aug-23-2009 14:56:

ah i see...i'll try and do a "mnml ish" 3 deck techno set with lots of dj tools when time permits then It will have to be older stuff though, because i am just not feeling anything being released of that nature these days

here is that set btw if anyone wants it.

One of the things i really like about your mixes and djing is the fact that you are willing to try different styles of mixing and sub genres from set to set. I give you major tiesto props for this

Overall I thought this mix was good , but i do prefer your other dirty tech house african - latin mixes .

The intro was great, I thought that was what the mix was all bout but then i noticed you switched to your usual sound later on but a bit more deepish than usual .some of the tracks at the beggining didn't do much for me , I noticed more vocals than usual , which does explain why it was made for your GF since we all know.... girls love vocals . mixing was tight as usual , nice flow some tunes i really enjoyed like "Dein Verlangen" , " hamka "

The mix really did it for me from Hamka tiill the end , I think at one point I heard 3 tracks playing together , whatever u did sir makes this a wonderfull thing to listen to.

I have listened to this more than 10 times today

Betoko - El Hijo De La Guayaba (Nils Hess & Henry Cullen Remix) [Eukatech]
Arnaud Le Texier & V Sexion - Funk Some Thoughts (Lemos Remix) [Safari Electronique]
Gorge - Forgot Your Shoes [Plastic City]
Catorze - Luscofusco (H.O.S.H.'s Staubschticht Remix) [Bloop Recordings]

Greatness Bro

About " Caminando " all I can say is , How things where built up till that moment made it a perfect way to end this set .
I think of all of your mixes this is best end that i have heard from you .
Congrats for that bro .


2 last things

What did the Gf think about it ?

and

I'm listening to the mix right now and I have to say I'm liking it a lot. The mixing is top notch as well as the flow.

thank you juan pachanga junior. I think it is more fun to change it up every time i put something out. When i listened to some older sets of mine a while back, i realized that for a certain period, everything i did sounded a bit too similar. It got boring.

I'm not out in a club every weekend anymore, and i think this leads me to buy music that i would not have before, just because i would have someone else expose it to me going out. Either way, if i can do something and people can't really know what to expect i think it is cool

She works out to it, so great success. It is still baby steps trying to get her to embrace electronica, but after taking her to villalobos vs zip, voorn, everything/justin long (she really liked fred everything), thomas fehlmann/brendan moeller/trus'me/the mole, and a few mutek events i think she is starting to come around. If not call it revenge for her barking out orders to me as she gives me guitar lessons. She has even expressed interest at learning to mix for fun, but she only wants to play my records and i won't let her touch them

I don't love her that much

@DJ Blitzkrieg thank you!

sorry for the bump bitches

if you are learning to play guitar major props to your gf for that , just today I was playing "big empty" from STP on my acoustic guitar , so much win if you ever get a little saturated of Edm

Also tell her to click here in order to make her come around Edm

Finally gave this a go-around and, as usual, superb. The mixing and flow was spot on the whole way through so I wont even really touch on that other than well done.

I really liked the kind of "bangin" housey atmosphere you had going on here, it was definitely a different vibe than your several previous mixes. Loved a lot of the rhythm work in these tracks. I'd have to listen a few more times to gather more specifics, sets like this tend to not really hold my attention these days.

Anyways, great work as usual, looking forward to the next one.

thank you chesco. From what i see on here (and the sets of yours i have listened to) you have great taste in music, so it means a lot.

@ haziel and woscar...everyone that i know who is brown and has a last name that finishes with a vowel is juan pachanga jr.

ah si mi gusta, bff and stay fab

/the_voice



the one on the right responds to juan pachanga even if it is not his name (although he is brown and his name finished with a vowel as well.)
