Hey all,

DJ Yakov V here... For old school TA's, you might remember me as the person who is obssessed with mixing in key I just put together a new promo CD for you guys which is available from the link below. The server should be pretty fast (the host has an OC-3 line), so grab it and tell me what you think. It has a pretty complicated chord progression, with several changes between relative minor and relative major keys. I just discovered that Roger Sanchez mixes in key too! I am glad that I am not the only House DJ who does that -- it seems that mixing in key is limited mostly to Progressive House people.


This promo features tracks from 2020Soundsystem, Angel Alanis, Jason Sparks, Mark Martini, Moonbootica, Mylo, Nathan G, Patrick Buck, Slam, Sexe Sur La Plage, Twisted Funk and many more.

Download it here (1 File, 75 Mb, 192-Kbit MP3)


Any feedback is appreciated

Cheers,
DJ Yakov

Looking forward to hearing it though

Hehe

I played 220 club gigs in 2003, so I am slowly moving out of the Amateur ranking... but fair enough, I guess it belongs in either forum. Let me know what you think about the mix

Woo, Mylo - In My Arms I don't have to listen to this mix all the way through, it gets the thumbs up from me just because of this!

Hey Yakov...how hard is it to mix in key? How long do you spend selecting tracks for your mixes?

Mixing in key becomes easier with practice. I was having problems beatmatching at first, since tracks sound so similar you can't distinguish between them. It is hard to figure out which one is playing faster or slower so you can adjust it.

It took about 3 years of practice to get completely used to it.

but what about finding the right key for a song?

I mean...could you do that live or only for recorded mixes?
