The best mixing i've seen!

Just found this video HERE of Eddie Halliwell. Never seen mixing like this before! Any1 know the tune?

Don't know the track, but the stuff he did was pretty nifty. I wouldn't call it mixing though as I didn't really hear him bring in another track, just mess around with one track and scratch it on the 1000.

Len Faki - Just A Dance Part 2


What he's doing there actually isn't all that impressive. He's just looped that annoying sample that he's been using for fucking yonks now, and then the rest is obvious. It looks more impressive than it is because of the amount of enthusiasm he puts in. Eddie Halliwell is an entertainer, i'll give him that, but as far as DJ's go he's nothing special.


edit: Cracking tune though.

oh right/// to an untrained eye it looked fuckin impressive tho!!!


Posted by DJ Mikey Mike on Feb-16-2006 01:47:

Indeed. I was at that night btw. It was his Godskitchen debut I think, and he was fucking hammered. At the end of his set he was speaking on the mic regarding some comments Tiesto had made about him in mixmag, and how Tiesto was shit. Then he proceeded to get back on the decks and play Tiesto's version of Barber's Adagio, and do loads of live effects over it. I'm sure anyone that saw him at some point in 2004 will know what i'm talking about, he did it loads.

damn...yes very entertaining indeed. Does he continue doing those kinds of things througout sets? Seems to me, things like that might have to be rehearsed, at least to the degree that he is doing it. And what is that a sample of that he is using?

~10megs, right click save as

You can download the same clip here if you want a copy on your hdd

No doubt in small doses this is amazing, but he rapes the effect to no end. If you like this, just check out James Zabiela. He knows how much to do.


Posted by TeKnoHe@d2025 on Feb-16-2006 02:44:

What comments did Tiesto make about him? I don't recall reading or hearing about this.


Posted by NightCrawllure on Feb-16-2006 02:49:

I give the guy credit though, even though it's a loop, it's a good way to get the crowd pumped.

fucking MC!

Not true

He doesnt do the scratching and FX that much, I think Zabs does it a bit more then him, if you see him live youll understand.

He always does crazy stuff like this on the first track to get the crowd pumped.


He is the only Trance DJ worth seeing.


He has undeniable talent, showmanship and even good tlists.

The guy is the shit, and he knows it too

Mikey Mike :
If putting on a show is not impressive, how is standing arond like an ass for 3 hours and beatmatching like armin or whoever else do is ?

Any local dj can beatmatch, its all about the extra thing you do to make yourself stand out


Posted by plaxx on Feb-16-2006 03:15:

the kid has enthusiasm, or he's on ecstacy. none the less, i think that there should be more djs like him (in a way) DJs who interact with the crown, feed off the energy, and become a part of ...

worth watching, put a smile on my face...

indeed. tiesto...armin..van dyk...they all just beatmatch 99 percent of the times. rarely...if ever... see effects thrown in. NEVER have I seen these three do anything even close to what eddie is doing in this video clip.

Eddie is, as you stated, making himself stand out. This is what the masses want. Someone who comes in, and tears it up nasty. Who cares what the elitists want.

its like scratching [what non edm djs do sometimes ] only i think its mostly effects built into that cdj. whats sweet is you can do that using just loops and then go right into your song, even if you just have 1 or two of those top-of-the-line cdjs.


Posted by Keo_Nade on Feb-16-2006 04:07:

loops->in recorded into the player, not on cd.
and that club is FUR aka GLOW in D.C. :ride::

what did tiesto say about eddie and vice versa??

eddie has been playing alot of tiestos tracks, strange that he would say such things!


but gotta love eddie for his technical skills!


Posted by Djshortcircuit on Feb-16-2006 21:45:

well either way what eddie does i think is cool / different! If i was there i'ed be pumped... no doubt...


Posted by DFOP04 on Feb-16-2006 22:16:

if you wanna see eddie scratch go see him at a festival, as far as your average club night goes he doesnt tend to scratch that much anymore, well no way as near as he used to. i always found him hit and miss, sometimes he can play a blinder, but sometimes hes way off, rather like julius ceaser (aka the judge).:>

max


Posted by Scolomon on Feb-16-2006 22:17:

what did tiesto say about eddie
"...he's better than i am technically but he doesn't produce anything."


he may have said more, that's all i dug up


Posted by beats and beeps on Feb-16-2006 23:22:

That was fucking stupid as hell.


Posted by weymouth on Feb-17-2006 00:42:

I love it when trance/progressive DJs scratch and add effects but that was a poor example of it being done well and a poor example of Eddie. Granted it can only be done so much until it gets annoying.


Posted by Ishkur on Feb-17-2006 00:55:

ah yes, the ole "cut the bass" trick.

aka the first actual mixing trick DJs learn how to do. Simple, but effective, and fun, but still very simple. You can learn how to do it in 40 seconds. If this seriously impresses you, you haven't actually seen any good DJs yet.


Posted by mndeg on Feb-17-2006 03:12:

OMG that sample is so annoying


Posted by tubularbills on Feb-17-2006 04:01:

haha, looks like he's trying to have sex w/ the table. oy.

it is pretty sweet tho, when DJs actually do some effects on the tracks.
