Alrighty its been discussed about the best transition between two tracks, but after listening to the whole of CD2 from Resaissance: Desire up really loud on the weekend, i have to say that the change between Praha presents Xian - Pachinko and Way out West - Mindcircus is mindblowing. I dunno if anyone else feels the same but when the piano from Mindcircus washes over all of the closed hats and rhythms from Pachinko its just bliss.

Anybody else know of any awesome change overs?


Pointy

Hmmm....still no replies - i think that one requires some research.

back in the day when oakey used to hammer out some awsome trance he used to do some perfect mixes tiesto is a very good mixer too!

Darn.. I just set up the same thread a few hours ago.
Anyway, Tiesto's transition from Southern Sun to the next one (can't recall offhand) gave me an orgasm. It was PERFECT.
Let's keep this one to live mixes, yeah? And EMs. No CDs please; unless it's done live.

Nah man CD's also, cos even though they might not be live, they can have an impact too

from all the livesets, CD's and other mixes i have heard in the last few years, there have been many many great transitions. the one that sticks in my mind so far this year has been

Beauty of Silence (Pump Mix) --> backspin --> Nu-NRG - Dreamland

this was pulled off by johan gielen at trance energy.
i love backspins. they always get me psyched

transtion by tiesto between the first, "hooligan - hear you now (grandchillas mix)" and the next track on his essential mix 9-9-2001. stunning!!!

OHOHOHOH. I know.

CD: John'00'Fleming "For your ears only"

Transition: "Astral projection - Flying into a star" mixed into "Nuw Idol - Kick Drum Domination"

Oh god i could listen to that transition 100 times, just makes me want to go off.

Another good one
Set: John'00'Fleming Essential mix 2000

Transition: "The Mexican - Shadow Stalker" mixed into "Adelphoi - A Better Tomorrow"

Thats one of the smoothest mixes i have ever heard

Look em up there worth the listen.

We've talked about the smoothest transition, what about the longest? Anyone has any idea? I've a feeling Sasha and PvD will get a lot of nominations here.

Longest eh?.. I doubt PVD would get that, but Sasha, Diggers, Dave Seaman or Warren would be up there. Actually, when i think about it, Jeff Mills does some feckin long mixes (like 2 minutes) without even making touch ups on the records, just beat matches like that! Carl Cox could be up there as well.
