paul van dyk's set in "live in vancouver" has pretty lame mixing. I dont know how old the set is, but im guessing pre 2000ish. Some of the transitions are quite amaturish, but the tunes are not bad.

you cant really compare mixing to sports. There can be a lot of different reasons for a mix to be off, including speaker delay if the dj is mixing with one can and no split cue.

Basically the same thing...

There's a really bad trainwreck in a 99 GC set from PvD. Also the Radio 1 Dance Party when he was pissed out of his face he crashed a few trains to.

Pick any set from Tiesto in the last couple of years and your bound to hear a dodgy mix.

not necessarily trainwrecks, but Blank & Jones are by far the worst mixers EVER to become popular DJ's...

listen to their N-Joy radio mix from this last november 30th, each transition is basically dropping the last tune to a faint whisper and blasting in the next one (or sometimes just cutting out from one song instantly into the next). and when they do actually attempt to make a good smooth transition, it often does result in a trainwreck. sometimes their mixing isn't so bad though, i don't know why it varies so much...

also, mike shiver's mix on global dj broadcast in early november had two or three spots with trainwrecks as well.

Not to mention PvD's Mayday 2001 set...I don't think his head was in the right place that day.

You are correct about that. He had taken pills Clearly got himself into a more fucked state than he intended to The video is hilarious.

no one's mentioned PvD - Cream Amnesia Ibiza 03 closing party? i heard him wreck it bad a couple times in there, i still enjoyed the set tho

Iv heard some pretty bad mixes with oakenfold's essential mixes from 99.



I need more trainwrecks! lol.
