might be pandering here but Avenue -> Tell me Why is great. Love the tempo synced flanger set to 3 bars

i think amateur and hobby DJs should focus on these kind of things more often. To be honest I get really bored listening to amateur sets because they simply queue up tracks and don't put a lot of thought into this. If you're not at the club, make mixes for home listening and there is nothing that makes that a more pleasurable experience then sexy transitions.

Dave King does a bloody amazing mix from Cosmithex - Cube into Solano - Fire Signs on this 'Tales of the Future' set. The energy just goes through the roof

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

quote:

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J I'd like to bump this oldie because of one transition I heard recently that absolutely blew my mind. LTJ Bukem on the Essential Mix back in 1995. I remember listening to this mix and there was one track in particular that was just unbelievably epic, I just had to find it. But I scanned the tracklist over and over, and none of the tracks matched up. Turns out it's two tracks, Bukem melding Aquasky - Dezires into PFM - The Mystics. You can hear it from about 3.15 here (embedding disabled): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zimzzn0WK3w. Pure sex. I seriously think Bukem is one of the smoothest mixers I've ever heard. A lot of progressive DJs much renowned for their long blends actually keep it very simple when they play in clubs, but I've seen Bukem three times now and his mixing is always unbelievably smooth, just impossible to spot the gaps between tracks, and all on vinyl. I bumped into him in the toilets of The Wire club in Leeds just before he went on, and it was the only time in my life I've been genuinely star-struck.

Listened to that mix yesterday. Probably the best drum & bass mix I've heard, although I haven't exactly listened to a ton of drum & bass mixes in the past.
