LT42 Chakra - I am (Bedrock Mix) into Tilt - My Spirit on the Brothers in Rhythm essential mix. Sublime.
hugopal Away from the GUs, for whatever reason one which has always stuck in my mind was on Hernan Cattaneo’s ‘Funky Deep n Tribal’ mix for Ministry magazine: Greppi’s World ‘Una Questione Informatica’ -> Creamer & K ‘I Wish You Were Here’ (16B Mix) The way the former fades in to, then echoes out over the top of the latter just works wonders. The former track is at 19mins in the mix below, the transition out is a few mins after:
hugopal The other would be from Dave Clarke’s 2000 Essential Mix. Defenders of the Ghetto ‘My God’ -> DJ Rolando ‘Jaguar’ The apex point of the best Essential Mix ever, building to arguably the greatest techno track ever; pure mania. From 1hour 1 min below:
Wasily hugopal That is such a terrible transition. I think he actually gives up and flicks the cross fade all the way across? Am I missing something? Please someone help me out.. transition’s around 1 hr 4 min.
rhouses Not my genre, not my favourite GU, and not my favourite DJ, but, Sasha - San Francisco, Red Disc, Funk Function into Travel into Joi Cardwell is GOAT. End the thread please Zackster.
hugopal Wasily pretty sure that’s not him “giving up”! He’d already been playing the two tracks together for a long time and has whatever technical skills. Transitions don’t always have to be the smoothest, that moment was pure energy, and I think it’s also reasonable to cut in to Jaguar like that to also deservedly give the track its time to shine on its own.
rhouses Actually wait the other is Jacques Lu Cont - Fabric Live, Sprach into Sweet Dreams into Zoot Woman. End thread.
zackster hugopal prog shitheads think good mixing = can’t tell when tracks are changing. One big night of indistinguishable slurry is what they want.
