have a mix

another idjuts / theo parrish type filter abuse disco house thingy ... this is the first draft of the "euphoric house" mix i promised for the dj mix 2009 contest thread. instead we just ended up mashing together a bunch of jacking tracks with doubled-up basslines.

not sure if that's going to win any fans on ILX, so i am posting it here for feedback ... obviously we need to put it into audacity and clean up the bass levels a bit, we were jamming the EQ a bit beyond what common sense dictated. anyway ... i recommend not listening with the bass turned up, for now, unless you want a sort of disco-house meets black country techno type earbleed experience.

this was done live, in one take, four handed on two tables and one shitty mixer (still saving up for kp3 kaoss pad) with serato scratch live, so listen for the loops

yeah sorry about the levels on this one, esp the back end ... we were trying to do some daft punk type stuff with levels but w/o actually owning a band pass filter or a proper mixer. next time i'll watch the levels a bit more closely!

moonship, that mix is awesome; the levels are definitely no worse than rub-n-tug's campfire mix or something. hardly amateurish fuckery dude

however, THIS is some real amateurish fuckery...

DANCE AND SHAKE YOUR TAMBOURINE

thought i'd go for some feedback on my mix, too, as i'm considering entering this one in the ilm competition. it mostly just has a bunch of really obvious beardo choices i really dig, with minimal efforts being made on the dj trickery side of things. it's all vinyls though, recorded to a C-90 (hence the hiss- did this as a stylistic move but i'm not sure it works) and transferred to mp3

got some other, more housey mixes in the works for the competition though- maybe i'll even break out the kaos pad for some filter/effects fun eventually

also- be prepared for some real shaky mixing on that last one

feelin this!

cept i just hit one weirdly mixed section but overall 18 min and i'm cool w/ it

yea... i meant there's shaky mixing throughout the mix i posted, not just the end of it ha

tusk section: nice

it is a good mood for me today, this mix is.

thx!

my big issue w/ my mix is that from gene farris pretty much on through MAW there's a lot of hard clipping going on from levels being wayyyyyy in the red. if you look at it in audacity the second half essentially looks like a solid brick of sound. so some of the beats are getting cut in the middle and you get a "galloping" effect that sounds like we've not matched the beats up right. this is particularly bad in the soundstream / problem kids mix.

i mean, the kicks are getting cut in two because they're hard clipping at the peaks

but thanks for the compliment, will listen to yours soon

was going to listen to yours last night vahid, but got caught up with... reworking my own entry for the mix contest! heh.

LISTEN TO IT NOW

I COMPEL THEE

listened to your last mix on my bike ride today vahid, it hit the spot

aw, thanks

i dig it

gosh i <3 ppl who are positive and supportive <3 <3

post your draft here haitch, i wanna hear it

psych, gonna listen to yours soon ... tryna study maths right now

damn son, i am humbled. that tambourine mix is the shit.

that is being burned and going in the car, stat

my only feedback i can possibly give is that the second side is much *LOUDER* than the first, for some reason. can you fix that in audacity?

yeah, pretty sure i could figure that out

glad you liked it!

i *loved* it

love that whole section from black science orchestra > soundstream, v! mystery track is bucketheads 'the bomb' rite??

i will post my ruff draft but the internets is behaving very sloooow today, so will have to do tomorrow. (haha i'll probably do it again before then)

love that whole section from black science orchestra > soundstream, v!

^ this

err, ending in "running to paradise" BY house of house

I enjoy all this mixxes! Thanks guys

awww this thread is like a happy support group for djs who doubt theyselfs

i recorded a billion mixes this weekend only to throw them all away because of a shitty mix or two :(

haitch I listened to yours on the train this morning, I think it's a sign of a good selection that I liked the first half (where I didn't know any of the tracks ahead of time) better than the second (where I have a few of those records)

lol, i wondered if i was going a bit 'obvious' at the end there.

nah I didnt mean it that way but I knew it was gonna sound like that

I meant just from looking at the tracklist I would consider the second half more up my alley but the first half was dope

threw that terje record in the mail btw, be on the lookout

since we're havin roundtable what do you all think of this edit. first time I've tried to make somethin like this, I tried not to go overboard on the f/x

http://deadheatnyc.com/tracks/AxondaEdit.mp3

i will def check that out when i get home

the blurb about that record on discogs sounds pretty crazy. brings to mind that joakim edit of jj cale for me, good job! you wouldn't want to go too OTT with the effects, any more and it might start sounding a bit cluttered.

thx! glad you dug it

just got around to listening to the edit. feeling it. it's def more edit feeling than the first one you played me. the subtle effects were a nice touch. that's all in audacity?
