Originally posted by Johnny Jon Its true the mixing isnt top notch,but i've heard worst, both aspects of a mix must be "near perfect" preferably sure, but i dont complain too much when there's a decent effort, especially for that guy who's used to the jackin stuff, was a bit of a switch. Trainwrecks = moodymann (mix i posted in forum not too long ago), i still love his mixes. Also, i stand corrected as i heard this one after fully listening to a lovebirds 2009 mix (the october mix). So i changed my selection for "mix of the year" .

Want to hear a train wreck, though its considered as a good set?
Listen to Larry Heard's 12-04-2009 set @ Trouw, the one of almost 6 hrs, posted not so long ago ..

I dont know, I was other day shoping at Dance-Tunes.com and noticed that old style is coming back. Lots of track's shakeing a flint of what tracks had past year and going melodic oldschool...

Well, perhaps moodymann is even worse ... but for a reknowned name as Mr. Heard I expected something else (although it was one of his first few sets I've heard). Some awefully bad transitions in there

I've seen 'em both and Kenny is definitely less technically inclined. I must also say that people who are anal about mixing annoy the shit out of me. They both play phenomenally.

for these nu-disco, 80's funk, etc. mixes, i really don't mind what the transitions are like. it's all about the track selection, and the dj having a clear narrative throughout the mix. plus, most of these tracks are suited to the mixtape-style anyway. in fact, i'd say a good mixtape is harder to make than a dj mix. you no longer have the beat-matched transitions to hide the fact that you can't select the proper tunes

moodymann plays great tunes. he drops "William de Vaughn - Just Be Thankful" in the middle of his DEMF set from last year....fuckin perfect. wish i couldve been there for that.

agreed (less annoyed by mixing critics then you are hehe, but its true its the aspect of mixes that i give less importance)

Originally posted by ThaMaestro Track selection seems decent too. Dunno whats wrong with it

I didn't say anything bad about the track selection, I just prefer more harmonically viable mixing.

I guess in the end it all comes down to a transition which is smooth,
and doesnt necessarily needs to last long or has to be filled with high
skills. It just annoys if you hear a seriously unbeatmatched transition
for a while, as if the dj pays no attention in going from A to B ....
and that Bryan Jones set, well, that one is, as I said before,
properly/decent mixed. But listening to Heard, although its a great
set, 'hurts' every here n there.

Originally posted by Johnny Jon Ok, this has to be the mix of the year 2009 period. Bryan Jones pull something extraordinary, different from his usual and i hope he sticks to it. i really doubt this year anything funkier then this has been pulled. Bryan Jones - Smoke Break (08-12-2009) Bryan Jones - Smoke Break (Midtempo House MIx) - December 2009 by djbryanjones Maybe the tracklist will convince some of you to give it a listen: 01 Trus'me - Browns - Prime Numbers 02 6th Borough Project - McLovin - Permanent Vacation 03 Floating Points - Love Me Like This - R2 Records 04 6th Borough Project - How Can I Show You - Delusions of Grandeur 05 Eddie C - One With The Stars - Sleazy Beats 06 Linkwood - Who La La - Firecracker Recordings 07 Crazy P - The Hit - Kolour Recordings 08 Floating Points - Truly - Eglo Records 09 Lovebirds - Out In The Night - OM Records 10 Telemusic - Baby's Band (Leo Zero Edit) - CDR 11 Knee Deep - Sweet Love - Knee Deep Records 12 Shur-I-Kan - Fantasy - Freerange 13 Makam - New York G - Sushitech 14 Lovebirds - Operator - OM Records 15 6th Borough Project - Miss World (Soul Tourist Remix) - Delusions of Grandeur 16 Nils Nuernberg - Caught A Glimpse - 8Bit 17 Kink - Fish Feeling - Kolour Recordings 18 Colette - Think You Want It (Pezzner Remix) - OM Records 19 Jimpster - Dangly Panther (Joris Voorn Remix) - Freerange 20 David West & Inkfish - Ghetto Feel - Tolerant Recordings

So i listened to it and honestly, this is nowhere near getting the title of set of the year 2009... it is good but it isn't omfg amazing shit woah great work

I heard better in 09.
