New long thread time.

Tell me of times when the big DJ's do horrendous trainwrecks, that leave them red faced and angry.

IDing tracks is like having sex, the more you get the happier you'll be!!

Want to download a Digweed set? TA ID HUNT!

Just to clarify: trainwreck is when the beats of the two records that are being mixed go completely out of time and give off that galloping horse-sound. Pitch bending the mix insanely or just doing a straight x-fade job is NOT a trainwreck. I've had too many misunderstandings about this, so I just figured I'd point it out.

Just catch Johan Gielen's radioshow... At least he thinks he's a big dj

Dave Dresden @ Godskitchen not so long ago, it was his 6 hr set in the Nitrogen Room, think Morillo was on in the main room actually.


His transisition was between kelis - milkshake into coldplay - clocks which was fine and then i think into serendipity, possibly! Bah i really cannot remember, allough i do remember a guy who looked eerily similar to dresden in a black shirt dancing all the way through the 6 hrs.

It was all in good humour, and the lighting guy and him were joking about it, and he played PvD - For An Angel to make up for it, which was a bonus.

But at the actual time, the poor guy just couldnt get the transition right, but then again a 6 hour set, and it was the only mistake i noticed, so cant be bad.

I think I've heard Scott Brown doing that sometime...

Ahhh! Woooh! What's happening? Who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life? What do I mean by who am I? Okay okay calm down calm down get a grip now. Ooh, this is an interesting sensation. What is it? Its a sort of tingling in my... well I suppose I better start finding names for things. Lets call it a... tail! Yeah! Tail! And hey, whats this roaring sound, wooshing past what I'm suddenly gonna call my head? Wind! Is that a good name? It'll do. Yeah, this is really exciting. I'm dizzy with anticipation! Or is it the wind? There's an awful lot of that now isn't it? And whats this thing coming toward me very fast? So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like 'Ow', 'Ownge', 'Round', 'Ground'! Thats it! Ground! Ha! I wonder if it'll be friends with me? Hello Ground!

hate to say it, but Armin's set at Sublime, Syndey earlier this year still is fresh in my mind...

a transition from Underworld - Slippy to Dirt Devils - Music Is Life...the beats were galloping for a few seconds before it was fixed...noooo Armin =(

Tiesto's Haoman 2001 set (horrific mixing)

worst mixing I saw live was Tiesto

going from some monotone trance record into madonna's bond theme (tiesto mix)....UGH!

What are the greatest trainwreck recoveries of all-time? So smooth it sounds like it was intentional?
