(my definition of "by the end of the weekend" is stretching to next weekend. I'm 35-40m in on the 60m scheduled mix. Meant to finish it on Sunday but spent my time on Allegiance. Oh well.)
Appreciate the feedback, i try to ride the line of tricky yet seamless =)


one question tho, how do you just stop in the middle of a mix and pick it back up later?? if i stop mixing... well if i stop thats the end of the mix!

oooohhh man.

After trying to mix 30 or so tracks to find the perfect one to flow in with the previous track, it starts to drive me batty. Like half the records I'm using don't follow standard formula, so timing it/etc. to pick up the second the previous record drops on the right key/flow is also killing me. I'm not really using any quick cuts on this mix, mostly long blends.

I dug through my entire collection (approx. 2000 records) twice to find this one track, It's an aquasky remix called booty in the bombshell or something like that, on the airplane label, and it's MIA. arrgh. (I don't have sound on, but I'm 99% sure it's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNgNWbKaUWk )

Mixing for something recorded is a totally different game than a live gig. Usually I'll just grab 40 or 50 records along a couple of different moods for my hour long set and sort of set it up on the fly with a couple of well rehearsed mixes.

I can draw up my tracklist thusfar when I get home from the library, but here's track I think you'd be down with on it, it's an Aesop Rock collaboration with Evil Nine, called Crooked: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6dxYka2tRk

Thx bro!

Ill give em a listen for sure djrbk... I remember those days of endless practicing and getting the tracks and mix points down perfect, but, with 4 kids and full time work i just dont have that anymore. I fly by the seat of my pants every time i step in a club.

This makes me want to dust off my 1's and 2's and lay one down again! I spent 8 years as a club DJ. I always wondered if the dj portion of your callsign had anything to do with the trade djbrk. Its been about 8 years since the last time I pre-mixed a track to play in the club.

I used to play music at club parties and the like. Was a good gig. Well paid for doing something I'd probably do at home anyway, plus lots of free drinks! :D
