I think everyone of us sometimes notice how DJ can put one song of the set into another, and you like "..OMG only god knows these song belong each other, how can he do that?". I think this must be the most powerfull skill of a DJ to know how and what tracks he must mix in his set in right order.

So my best transitions are (these are on my mind, i think i`ll remember more, lot more):

1. Tiesto @ Dutch Dimension 2001
transition from Gouryella - Gouryella to Green Martian - Wizardry.

2. Gabriel and Dresden - Global DJ Broadcast 06-01-2003
transition from Ivy - lets go to bed (SKDD remix) to JXL - Tennis.

3. Paul van Dyk - Innercity 30-12-2000
transition from Taiko - Uno, Dos...(Nick Sentience remix) to Alibi - eternity

What yours?

It's not skill, it's just that they attempt to mix the song with any song and just pick out the best transition. Every DJ ranging from Amatuer to Professional does this.

I can`t agree. Only professional knows what track will mix best to the song is playing on the decks, if you`d be right everyone can be profy.

I can't agree with you there too, Professional DJs get stuff we can't get hold of so they have a variety to try with before playing rather that us playing it with tracks that we've been playing for ages.

Ok, so i see there are no best transitions on your mind then.

of course its a skill! you can't mix any track into any track, well you can but if you want that perfect transition you need to mix in key
most pro DJs DEFINATELY don't just pull out any 2 tracks and mix them

Well i do know very good transitions but you can't say that it's a skill that the DJ does this...THE skill comes down to if the DJ can BPM the track right and to CUE the track right.

I'll name some later.

what a load of bullshit
any tom dick and harry can do this with practise - this is probably the easiest part of mixing

the most skilled is mixing in key, go read up on it

i agree anyone can do this with lots of practise,
you just have to play a track and think what track will fit in perfectly next. Yeah key clashes sound horrible, it throws you off.

i dont know what some of you are thinking
if you practice and you can beat match, then it is no problem to pull off the exact same transfer as dj tiesto does, if not better, i have done loads of mixes which have good, if not excellent transfers in them. professionals are not the only ones who can do it, beside, the only reason they spin up there that big is because of their productions and shit, many bedroom djs have equal skills to tiesto or other djs, its just, who needs another dj when there are already so many that can do the same shit.

To answer the topic:

One of my favourites is Tiesto - Magik 6, the transition from Silence into Moogwai - Viola (AvB mix)

the first 5 transitions of tiesto live at innercity!!!

99(the cd)
