Hey guys,

Thanks for your kind words. I have always thought that people on TranceAddict were open minded when it comes to other genres of music. I actually became a DJ in 2001 after reading this forum because I wanted to make people dance and have a good time. I feel that sometimes we just need to release -- we all have day jobs or school and occasionally we need to go out and have fun.

On a related note: I just played at a HUGE house party last night. I played a five hour set that felt better than ANY club gig I've had recently. Something about house parties just rocks -- I could play whatever I wanted to play and people would dance to it

Some highlights:

"Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar (Pete Heller remix)"
"Disco Citizens - Footprint"
"Sasha - Xpander"
"Studio B - Girls (Tom Neville remix)"
"Def Leppard - Photograph" mixed over the bassline of "Seven Nation Army"

My BPM ranged from 63 BPM to 172 BPM. In the span of one night, I played House, Progressive House, Tech House, Trance, Techno, Breaks, Reggae, Drum and Bass and even Hip Hop. In a real club, I would probably not be able to pull that off

Anyways, I just wanted to say, thanks again for the support. If you like my music, please visit www.djyakov.com and register your e-mail. I try to take care of my friends as much as possible, with free CD giveaways, guest list invites to clubs in Washington, D.C. and much more.

Also, I will post the tracklisting as soon as I get home

Great set man, nice mixing!

how and where you mixed that in (early/peak hour/close, before/after what tracks, etc) i'm interested in knowing.

what was the crowd reaction?

i would die if i ever heard sasha drop that live. it has eluded me for a long time! of course we don't get sasha out here too often in aus unfortunately and the chances of him playing it these days isn't too great

btw, 18:18 on the mix... rockin!

if i'm ever in DC might take you up on that guestlist offer

My mix into Xpander went like this:

1. Cosmos - Take Me With You (G minor)
2. Sasha - Xpander (G minor)
3. Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar (Pete Heller remix) (D minor)

It was right at the end of the night. I actually stopped the music once at that point, but they made me keep playing.

Fun night Plus I just picked up a new residency last night too, woho!

Hi!

Nice to see someone who cares about key mixing as much as I do! And I would say that I don't know a lot of house Djs who do! In fact I don't know many Djs (whatever their style is) who care! e.g : Tiësto just fxxxcks it, often the same with Corsten, but luckily guys like Oakenfold and sasha usualy pay attention to the key, at least in their mix CD's. But a guy who really does it well is Dave Seaman! For me it's really what makes that a mix is unique, and isn't another compilation. So I'm downloading your mix now (although house is not that much my cup of tea) and I'll give you my review ASAP.

Regards, Corentin.

Any more feedback guys? What's the standout tune in this mix?

By the way, here is the cuesheet:

awesome mix man, wow, i wish i can do this but its such a pain in the ass i think to find the key of each track u have, i mean it takes me like 3-4 mins to do it each song times that by what 2000 tracks i have, its just way too time consuming. what i think each label should do when they rls a record or cd or digital download is tell us the key of the track and bpm to save time. that would make things much easier imho and more realistic. but damn this mix is fantastic, great job
