  • Favorite Track to Track Transitions

Wasily Defo a memorable one. Blew me away at the time.

Blue Monday —> Spicelab - We Got Spice 👹

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:

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:

    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 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.

      Actually wait the other is Jacques Lu Cont - Fabric Live, Sprach into Sweet Dreams into Zoot Woman.

      End thread.

      Like we need to hear Sweet Dreams again.

        Sweet Dreams is a dreadful track.

        Up there with Slam’s Lifetimes.

          Has Rhouses nailed his shit taste in music colours to the mast AGAIN?

          Yes.

          Gave both entries a listen again, flawless.

          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.

            Hong Kong gets a mention. What a low bar you people set.

            Ame’s Shiro to Sneaker Pimps’ Post Modern Sleaze on Howell’s Miami.

            Dermatron to confirm the use of vinyl and turntables for my sasha goat entry.

            surprised nobody has mentioned Apollo Vibes into Love And Traffic

            zackster prog shitheads think good mixing = can’t tell when tracks are changing. One big night of indistinguishable slurry is what they want.

            Lol!

            zackster 😂. Totally agree. Nails against a blackboard, Pots n pans 4 Eva

            Quick question Zackster, do the transitions in Daft Punk Alive count? Bangers and nothing less IMO.

              If one falls down the backstairs of the office whilst carrying the canapes for the marketing pow wow, you can recreate one of Jeff Mills’ finest moments. The sound of spoons crashing through the bannisters and echoing all the way up to the top floor resemebles the delay effect on Jeff’s mixer also. You won’t find a finer transition into your P45.

              The three track mix starting around 1:08:00 or there abouts is as good as it gets. Undeniably the best to ever do it.

                No

                As usual with Zackster and anything related with music, this thread is an absolute shit show.

                  Jeff Would mix all the tracks off that Balance comp you bought at the same time.

                    LOL, fair cop. Suspect my cats could too.

                    Sounds like a real ‘keeper’!

                    Why do my UK mates hate Jeff Mills but rate Tony Surgeon?

                    LNOE 50. Frankey and Sandrino Into sentre - u&me

                    Mainly because this is where I first heard u&me but it’s pure Sasha blend.

                    Also most of the first 5 tracks off transitions 4. Still love em.

                    And obviously anything I’ve ever mixed.
