Worst trainwrecks???

New long thread time.

Tell me of times when the big DJ's do horrendous trainwrecks, that leave them red faced and angry.

Just to clarify: trainwreck is when the beats of the two records that are being mixed go completely out of time and give off that galloping horse-sound. Pitch bending the mix insanely or just doing a straight x-fade job is NOT a trainwreck. I've had too many misunderstandings about this, so I just figured I'd point it out.

Just catch Johan Gielen's radioshow... At least he thinks he's a big dj

Dave Dresden @ Godskitchen not so long ago, it was his 6 hr set in the Nitrogen Room, think Morillo was on in the main room actually.

His transisition was between kelis - milkshake into coldplay - clocks which was fine and then i think into serendipity, possibly! Bah i really cannot remember, allough i do remember a guy who looked eerily similar to dresden in a black shirt dancing all the way through the 6 hrs.

It was all in good humour, and the lighting guy and him were joking about it, and he played PvD - For An Angel to make up for it, which was a bonus.

But at the actual time, the poor guy just couldnt get the transition right, but then again a 6 hour set, and it was the only mistake i noticed, so cant be bad.

I think I've heard Scott Brown doing that sometime...

hate to say it, but Armin's set at Sublime, Syndey earlier this year still is fresh in my mind...

a transition from Underworld - Slippy to Dirt Devils - Music Is Life...the beats were galloping for a few seconds before it was fixed...noooo Armin =(

What are the greatest trainwreck recoveries of all-time? So smooth it sounds like it was intentional?

I doubt that's possible.

Never doubt the skills of (un)talented human beings.

One of the worst trainwrecks:

I personally think PvD is a flawless mixer, but even the great ones have their blunders and bloopers. One of the worst trainwrecks was by Paul at his Don Valley Bowl set in 2001. I believe he was mixing out of PvD-Out There into a vocal track, and the mix was so bad that he did not even attempt to fade the tracks....always makes me laugh...
