I really don't see how that is a good thing? |
I've heard this complaint from a few guys that run the record shop I go to. They're not a fan of his style of mixing because it's "too good". There's no "energy" in it. Personally I can't see the difference. I'd rather seamless mixing and one long ride rather than individual tracks. Hard to explain lol, but when I think of how Sasha mixes vs. how let's say...Masiello mixes, they're totally different. Masiello lets one track ride out a bit before bringing in the next so you can really tell when it's a new track. Sasha, however, let's it come in smoothly so that while one track is playing the next sneaks in. He'll sample some element of the song playing out so that it sounds like it's still playing, hence one seamless mix. What's wrong with that? |

| They're just jealous because he's good. But Desyn is awesome too he has an incredible ear for music. |

I saw how this could be true when I saw Felix. His track selection was great, but perhaps he was too drunk, he couldn't mix for . The club was still rocking though (of course)
I'm stating that I don't think track selection makes a DJ "AMAZING". ONLY if the tracks he selected were his own productions. |

Along with track selection is programming. Anyone can learn to beatmatch, it's not that hard. But finding tracks that fit well together and taking the crowd/listener where YOU want them to go is something way more difficult. I can buy all the tracks on Digweed's Transitions and mix them in the same order. But are they going ot have the same feel? Hell no, Digweed's programming is amazing. |

Oh absolutely, I'm not saying that Desyn is no good. He's one of my faves, absolute fantastic dj and an incredible tracklist. I was just stating a difference in their style of mixing :p |

It's OK like I said not everyone understands. |

| I agree, Sasha's mixing is seamless, and I like it that way, only bits I didn't like last year in his essential mix was when he spead up or slowed down the tempo drastically, using the re-pitch algorithm. I can't stand that, it really gives me the heebie-geebies. Sounds the same as speeding a track up drastically on a turntable, doesn't work. Better to drop mix it at a higher tempo or gradually increase or decrease. |
