-- Mixing !!!
Mixing !!!
I've always wanted to find out some good mixing albums and livesets that i havent heard or noticed !! Here are my questions !!!
1. What is the best mixing album to you?
2. What is the best mixing liveset to you?
3. Who do u think has best mixing skill?
Note - These questions only involved with MIXING !! I m not talking about the tune selections, quality of album/liveset/ DJ here !! Just MIXING (Espacially Beat/phrase matching )
My answer would be :
1. Max Graham - Transport 4 ( Also my fav album all the time )
2. Dj Tiesto - Trance energy 2000 ( there are few good uplifting tunes that arent easy to mix but Tiesto proved that he can mix in this set )
3. Sasha (Even tho he is always high and fucked up, his mixing is always the way it should be !! )
1. DJ Tiesto - ISOS2
2. Paul Van Dyk - Live @ Rosenmontags Rave (02)
3. Johan Gielen (great mixer....but I feel PvD comes close 
)
just my opinion
Sasha. Period. 
1: Tough one, Ti�sto's Magik 7 isnt all that bad tho.
2: Westbam's gig at Rosenmontag 2002 (before PVD) is to me reeaaaally good, so pumping. Maybe not so much beatmatching in the sense that you hear every beat and therefor hear every beat that might go wrong but MAN can that man scratch! The energy is just flowing from the trackselection and then he comes along and scratches the shit out of me. (Dave Clarke's Essential MiX isnt all that bad either, or PVDs Rosenmontag 
)
3: Oakenfold is skilled, but not as fun to listen to as Sasha, PVD, Ti�sto or Scott Bond.
gielen cant mix, and never will
Sasha is the worlds best mixer IMO
1) all northern exposure cds
2) Paul Okenfold - live at home in Space Ibiza 99
3) James Holden is the best mixer, together with sasha I think,
and also John Fleming.....
If you want to laugh: DL the set from Jean @TE 16-02-02. What was he thinking?
I think AvB has good mixing skills, but they all have that, otherwise they weren't so popular.
Best CD = Magik 6
carl cox is an AMAZING mixer... just amazing.. sasha as well.. ive seen them both recently and both in their own genre are top notch. DAMN!

Well, DJ Jeans gig at TE 2002 was crappy but other gigs he have done has been good, at Club Eau (22/04/00) for example is really good.
His performance at Hyperstate 2000 isnt all that bad either, or TE 2000.
So, I guess he was just reaaaaaally high that night. :P
my vote goes to...
What is the best mixed album? Thats a good question, since most CDs/albums were mixed in "Pro tools". I'll have to agree all the Northern Exposure and Global Underground mixes are mixed to perfection.
What is the best mixed live set? I advise all you true trance addicts to catch a set by Florida's DJ Suzy Solar someday. In fact try this epic trance one from Halloween 2000 http://www.suzysolar.com/music/shining.ram or this hard/melodic trance one from May 2001 http://suzysolar.com/music/maydemo.ram
Who has the best mixing skills? My vote goes to Digweed.
Hm..i donno anymore..On the one hand all of you keep saying how good the GU guys (sasha digweed warren etc.) can MIX on the other hand i remember the thread about the "easiest genre to mix" where the majority pointed out that is is THEIR style that is the easiest one..
Kinda paradox?
What I think: I dont care whats good or hard to mix, and mixing in general isnt the most important thing (as for the precise beatmatching). Its more to ability to take you on a journey..Like on a ship where the dj's the captain
Good captains: Tiesto, AVB, Ferry, Oakenfold, sasha, digweed, warren
Best voyage: Armin van Buuren : Bundaries of Imagination

Thank you guys for interesting replies!!
I do agree with most of you guys ! GU series / Northern exposure series are quality albums( With amazing mixing )
Its funny that most of DJs you guys mentions are progressive DJs !
Progressive RULZ but easier to mix as well !!
Johan Gielen has top quality mixing skills. TE2002 for example.
hahah funny , that set is pathetic IMO and its mixing is average at best
1. DJ Tiesto - Revolution
2. Marco V - Live @ Innercity 2001
3. Carl Cox or Sasha
Maybe prog tracks do not have as much going on inside them as trance tracks do, just slow, uplifting builds. That makes them easier to beatmatch, even on the fly. Some trance tracks have so much going on even towards the end that you have no idea what to cut off and what to fade in- it's a mass orgy.
Having said that, I must admit that Judge Jules is a pretty decent mixer. As much as I'd hate to say it.

sometimes super seamless mixing is good. but sometimes i like to "hear the mix"... not like, screwups and double beats, but like some nice bass drops, and quick cuts. gives it some energy... so the crowd knows what the dj is doing, kindof like an interaction between dj and crowd. but it has to do alot with the style of music played as well.
1)Tiesto - Magik 5/Magik 7
2)Marco V - Innercity 2001
3)Mauro Picotto - Live in LA 2002
best mixing i have heard in an album:
None of you will be suprised at what i say
John'00'Fleming - Euphoria white lable
mmmmm soooo smooth
