Zackster's Autumn Back To Mine

Cankles-McJeggings

Is it one of those ambient mixes where there’s no actual mixing?

zackster that’s todays listening sorted 👍🏻

Its funny how for all the bitching he does about BF, Dermo has really stepped into his shoes quite nicely. And to be clear some tracks are mixed while others are sequenced, which is what Snidey Ian is talking about.

Yeah but where’s ‘the journey’ Zacko?

Mad_Cyril in the two hour mix I posted above. To Mount Doom and back like, innit?

Sweet.

Enjoyed the first hour, unfortunately work prevented me from getting all the way through.

Will be re-whirling for sure

baggers44 Have you heard the album that is off of? If not I highly recomend. Existenz. I put it in the very top of the best that have come out since 2010.

zackster i have listened to a few on here - i actually bought the Incubation album which fit in nicely the dubby/dark techno mixes i have been working on. will have another listen to this album.

Excellent stuff this, Zack

zackster

baggers44 Existenz isn’t nearly as dj friendly as Incubation but its wonderful for listening to from start to finish. He did some cool music videos for it as well.

Thought that was a great mix zackster, will be on repeat for sure

Thanks guys. Pleased to be reading this.

Did your cat jump on the keyboard when you were typing out track 15??

Cankles-McJeggings

Lol at sequencing. Up there with programming. Or putting two tracks next to one another without mixing as it’s known.

Oxford dictionary -
sequence
/ˈsiːkwəns/

1.When you let one track run its cause and play another one just as that one has finished.

Not mixing.

zackster

I’ll have to defer to your expertise; who would know not mixing better than you?

zackster ambulance for Dermo. He needs to go to the burns unit pronto.

Apology accepted

Opting in for a back to mine sesh with zackster is akin to shooting yourself in the head.

When he wasn’t busy playing one record after another he’d spend the whole time on twitter and nibbling a bale of hay so at least you wouldnt have to talk to him.

I went to Harvey’s MOS residency a few times and he mixed about 80% of the tracks and it worked… mostly all early doors/obscure stuff… sub 110 bpm.

Its the better way to do it. I did a beat matched chill mix a few years ago and it just didn’t have the same feel to it. All the classic 90s chillout mixes were not beat matched, and those are the ones that always stuck with me. Being able to instantly change the bpm and vibe is more important than the 2 min transition when playing this kind of stuff, imo.

Dan I know Howells gets a hard time on here (not really sure why as he’s always been great whenever I’ve seen him bar some dodgy back to back with Omid), but one of my favourite essential mixes is his 2002 one with a back to mine style. More than likely done on a computer, but well mixed regardless.

Edit: the dodgy back to back was when the scene was utter shit anyway - late noughties
