Just mix out before the breaks kick in, I've done that afew times depending on my set, but the breaks can really add to the set if you let them play for awhile over the top of another well picked tune, same goes for BT - Flamming June.

JDS - Disco Rocker

not impossible at all but just towards the end of the track theres an extra 2 beats stuck in at the end of a bar which throws the mix right off. Really dont understand what the guy was thinking when he did that.

William Orbit - Barber's Adiago For Strings (Original)
The strings just won't fit anything...

My tracks:
The Darkone - You Come With Power
The Darkone - Falling Stars Part 1 (Original Mix) *NEW*

The Orb - From a Distance (Hybrid Remix)

Probably more of an intro track. Really long beatless intro.

Also, original of Armin van Buuren - Burned with Desire, no beats at all.

Ruudaman - Heaven Is A Place On Earth

God DAMNIT, I can never mix that F&*^$CKING Song!!

I have a record where the track was recorded on iffy equipment, and the sound is all over the place.

I know exactly what you mean. I used to think Flaming June was one of the hardest songs to mix well. The breaks in the last two minutes are very distracting unless you can keep the beat in your head. But after some experimentation, I've found that if you pick the right song, the breaks sound kickass on top of the track you're bringing in. You just have to bring the song in really early.

You mention mixing out of Flaming June, but the intro is tough too. You've got that long, beatless intro that goes right into breakbeats. Without a trained ear, there's no way you can mix in before the breakbeats, and if you cue right when the breakbeats start, there's already too much going on in the song for it to be a nice mix in. TOUGH SONG.


Another song I've found difficult to do right is most versions of UNKLE - In a State. Most remixes have the piano melody in the intro, where the tempo slows down considerably, making it impossible to mix over anything with a beat very well. If I'm mixing into In a State, it'll usually be during a breakdown in another track, or by backspinning right into it or something.

if worse comes to worse just volume mix it. It might be super noobish but thats always a last resort or use filters/kills to mix it.
