Songs that are difficult to mix into OR out of

I saw people talking about this in another thread so I thought maybe it would be nice to have a thread of its own.

State some tracks that you have a real difficuly mixing into or out of.

Myself, the hardest track I have difficulty mixing out of is....

Push - Till We Meet Again

This is just so ridiculous to mix out of. Such a good track too =]. The song is so distinct and just stops without any friendly beats to mix out with.

Rank 1 - The Citrus Juicer

This track I have a bit of difficulty mixing into because it starts pretty abruptly. Requires a quick mix which is different from my style of mixing that is mainly composed of holding mixes for long smooth transitions.

i think the two you mentioned aren't that bad if you have eq. i think the tiesto mixes of flesh and das glockenspiel are hard to mix because they just keep on going and the kickdrums aren't too obvious. silverblue blue sky tracks start and end very quickly.

cople more

push-strange worl 2000 remake

in the end the beat changes to king of brake beat

hard song to mix into

I find one of the hardest songs to mix into is Oliver Liebs mix of Wide Eyed Angel because there are some extra drums that if you pay too much attention to them and not the main beat then it will throw the whole mix off especialy when doing a long mix. There are a couple of songs i have that have no damn ending therfore u have to start the mix way off in the middle of the last chorus, eg. PVD- The Riddle(vandit mix) and also Dj Tiesto- Theme from Norjefell both have absolutely no ending and if u arent paying attention then it will be too late. And by the way Natious- Amber is a nightmare track to mix into and out of, for some weird reason, even Oakey has a hard time getting it to sound good lol.

"I wanna rock" on the BK- tragic Nucleuz hard beats ep

it's a horror! every once in a while 4 extra beats are added!

2 Boys and 1 Girl - U Know Nothing (Vocal Remix)

However cool that bassline is...it is one mean thing to make a smooth transition with.

Prologue - Tenth Chapter (PVD Remix)
The opening is slow and doesn't have any kick type things until way later, so making it align right can be a little tough.
I think it's the PVD mix, but my record (from Cyber) doesn't say which mix is on which side...The other possibility is that it's the Carl Cox remix (But I think that was the mix that was mainly percussion -- PVD would never do anything like that.

DJ Nuclear ~_^

eh? i kinda disagree w/ the first 3 posts, i havent had any trouble mixing out there, not w/ flesh or strange world... maybe till we meet again, i can see how that can be troublesome. but mixing IN?

humate - love stimulation (pvd mix) its an ABRUPT beginning that's not a 32 count, but a 12 count! before the kicks start. argh.

and the same kind of thing with dj remy - pumped up, doesnt begin with the traditional 4 measures of 8-counts.. more recently ive been finding way out west - intensify annoying to mix in

and one that ALWAYS gets me, cuz the beginning drums are pretty long, is alibi - eternity. blargh

Rhythm of Life - You Put Me In Heaven (thrillseekers mix) isn't too difficult to mix in or out of, but during the intro, the next layer of new sound kicks in 2 beats early, which always throws me off when I start to match the beats

i still havent mixed perfectly out of ppk - resurection

Humate:Love Stimulation(PVD mix) is a terrible track to mix. Not only the way it is contructed, but even sound of the bass can be quite annoying. Luckily for us, that's where good eq's come into play.

and it ENDS abruptly too, eh?

PVD mixed it like that on purpose so no DJ could sound as good as him..

Spoiled & Zigo - More and more
hard to mix this track in cos the beats at the start are so short, goes for 30 seconds or so, so u have to mix it quick and sounds crap, all the time.

Thrillseakers - Synaesthesia

Not hard to mix out of but the melody goes all the way and just dies off at the end and doesnt sound good, unless u fade it out.

thats about it...
givem ago

u silly fools...i have you alllllll beat....

try mixing into '2B - Trust UR Receiver'. muahahahahah!!!!

its a progressive house tune, but it beats all tunes that are impossible to mix into. no lie....

thats weird spoiled & zigo is one of the easiest "no beat" intro's for me to do...... you just cut the bass of the other track when the first kick starts... the vocal goes perfectly just about anything, i think
its about the only no-beat intro i never mess up

I never have any problems, for i am the perfect DJ<-----
LOL Yeah right!

I think the record that gives me the most trouble mixing into would probably have to be Junkie XL: Future In Computer Hell Just has a weird intro.

And i dont know why, but Mauro Picotto's : Baguette is always a bitch too. I think its just because of how the bass kicks in hella strong in the beginning. Or maybe because i dont have any other techno tracks that mix well with it
What is everyone else's experience with these two?????

Kev

Digital City - Stand Up 4 ur Rights. I just can't seem to mix into this track smoothly. Maybe it's me?

Gringo

i have a lot of trouble with xzique tracks. especially outside looking in. sucks too cuz i really love their tracks.

lost

have you ever tried to mix psy trance tracks????
this is hard there are so many element in one song it's very hard
to do a smooth transfer it's hard to mix in.....
