Off Topic - DnB mix

baggers44

Some of the errr younger ones at work complain that the mixes I foist on them and they feign interest in are too “moody” and suggested I did a drum and bass mix. So owning approximately 6 DnB tracks, I supplemented them and tried to mix them together as a DJ might. The first attempt sounded like a chap carrying a tower of saucepans falling down a flight of wooden stairs. This is the second effort.
i await the sound of incoming artillery……

Jules72 cheers mate. it was actually very enjoyable getting used to the beat patterns - i have total respect for the fellas who used to play this on vinyl and time all the drops and things , under pressure, in the pitch dark in a heaving club…..

It’s Mystic sunset..one of my old mates was big on D’n’B scene on the south Coast. He reckoned it was easier than mixing 4/4 records. I’m with you though it seems a lot harder. I still struggle mixing breakbeat on vinyl.

Nice work, Baggers. Just finished listening, good stuff!

I really struggle with this too. I’m perfectly capable of decent mixing on turntables but just cannot do it with breakbeat. Whenever I try, it sounds like it’s the first time I’ve stood behind the decks! I think it’s why I have so much respect for LTJ Bukem’s skills, as I simply can’t comprehend how he does it

I find breaks easier to mix to be fair, especially with the filter.

Enjoyed that. Adam F is a great gateway artist too.
