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

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.

Tiesto - Essential Mix Live at Cream, Ibiza 2005

Deepsky � Ghost (Filo & Peri Remix)
into
Lucas & Beltram � Trust Me

Yeah those two are the highlight of the album for me.

Paul van Dyk Live at Mayday 2002:

DJ Jan vs Vandueren - Deep Emotion (DJ Ghost Remix)
into
Ferry Corsten - Punk (Original Mix)

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.

Ultra Dance 05 Disc 1 (a little cheesy, I know)

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.

Originally posted by Oldman1313 i havnt heard it in awhile, bit i do remember the transition from Young Parisians feat. Ben Lost - Jump The Next Train into White Room - The White Room in scott bonds compilation was one of my favorites

You are referring to the Ahead Trance compilation.

might be pandering here but Avenue -> Tell me Why is great. Love the tempo synced flanger set to 3 bars

i think amateur and hobby DJs should focus on these kind of things more often. To be honest I get really bored listening to amateur sets because they simply queue up tracks and don't put a lot of thought into this. If you're not at the club, make mixes for home listening and there is nothing that makes that a more pleasurable experience then sexy transitions.

Dave King does a bloody amazing mix from Cosmithex - Cube into Solano - Fire Signs on this 'Tales of the Future' set. The energy just goes through the roof

howells 98 essential mix. orbital - are we here (oral mix by rabbit in the moon) into amethyst - six. it sounds like one monstrously brilliant epic track.

Listened to that mix yesterday. Probably the best drum & bass mix I've heard, although I haven't exactly listened to a ton of drum & bass mixes in the past.

Way too many to mention but these are some of my favourite ones:

Parks & Wilson Essential Mix 2002
DJ Gogo - 'Sayna' -> G-Pal presents Ghos - 'I Can See The Lights'

Scott Bond Essential Mix 2000
The whole opening of this mix is marvellous.
Paganini Traxx - Zoe (Forth's Angel Fire Remix) -> Illuminatus - Hope (Chill Out Mix) -> Space Manovers - "Stage 2 (Space Manovers Seperation Mix) -> Madagascar - "Requiem" (Coda)
Some dude even put it up on youtube.

Oliver Prime 2006-06-06
yotopia - new born -> depeche mode - the darkest star (holden dub)

pete tongs essential mix 2000. the entire thing is just amazing

-Marc Romboy vs Blake Baxter "The Club" (Systematic)
-Madonna "Hung Up" (Loopzilla) (Warners)

Ben Liebrand - In The Mix 2009-03-14

Age Of Love - Age Of Love
Bimbo Jones - And I Try (acap)
Chicane - Off Shore (Disco Citizens Remix)

The vocals of And I Try are started in Age Of Love and continue into Off Shore, awesome. Must upload it to Youtube.
Ben still is the mastermixer.

D:Fuse - Progressive Mix Session 1.0

D:Fuse - Bodyshock -----> Filip Skrapitch - Ksaut

from dasha rush - go and make memories:
mitchel akiyama - meridial into vladislav delay - kohde

from gu005:
'fortune telling fish' into 'you are sleeping'

from hernan cattaneo pres south america:
'twister' into 'the search (weekend world remix)'. cant imagine hearing this live holy sheeit

The best I ever heard was Sasha at the Ally Pally new years eve

Libra Presents Taylor - Anomaly (Calling Your Name) (Albion Mix) Tilt - Whats This? (Tilts Tunnel Mix)

I have tried many many times and I am no slouch myself when it comes to mixing but I cannot replicate the energy when that tilt bassline comes in.




My favorite transition I did was this one, blew my tits off

Orkidea - Unity [Steelfish]
Cliff Tangredi - Shimmer [Rotunda]
Ecano - Run (Z2 Mix) [Avant Garde]
Z2 - I Want You (Vocal Mix) [Deep Blue]
Hyper X - Out There (Steve Porter Mix) [White Label]


Andy Ling Fixation into Movin Thru Your System into Maurice Feline is another personal favorite I like to do.

I know this is an old post, but YES. Listened to this just yesterday, in fact. Those 3 Chilled mix comps from the Euphoria series are just mint. Soooo many good memories associated with those. Red Jerry really nailed the first one (with the exception of that Primal Scream shit in the middle of one of the discs). The second one wasn't quite as strong, but Solarstone knocked it out of the park with Chilled Out Euphoria. I also love the second disc of Deeper Shades...some great mixing/transitions all over that disc.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J John Digweed's 1995 Essential Mix. Lighthouse Family - Ocean Drive (Blue Amazon Dub) -> Daphne - Change (Brothers in Rhythm Remix) A five minute harmonic overlay with a fucking key change halfway through. If anyone should ever question what John Digweed did to earn his superstar DJ status, this transition will shut them the fuck up.

Ha! i was gonna make the same recommendation before i went back and reread the beginning of this thread. That whole mix is fn fire.
