Spotify: Continuous DJ mix recommendations

bosstrabs

Spotify annoys the fuck out of me for trying to listen to dance music. If anyone has any excellent continuous mix recommendations, please add them here as a useful resource.

Mine so far:
Terry Francis et al - Wiggle for 20 Years
Most of the Watergate releases are available in continuous mix format, and Mathias Kaden’s and Kerri Chandler’s are probably the best I have listened to so far.

I tend to use sound or mixcloud for top drawer absolutely BOSS mixes Dave.

Hope that helps!

Am I right in thinking for a Continuous mix to be allowed on Spotify today, it has to be a proper mixed / released album?

AFAIK I couldn’t just submit a mix to Spotify with other people’s music on it unless I went down and officially released route.

NasserAlazzawi I was talking to Strudders about this a while back and his are done via proton so all the music in his mixes are from labels that use the service

I’ve tried to get stuff up there and failed

Commercial mixed releases are generally shite. Why anyone buys or listens to them nowadays is beyond me when you have SoundCloud etc.

Fuck Spotify too, the thieving cunts.

Snr saw the writing on the wall and got out when all the money in the new music business had already been made.

What a ledge!

When was that then? ’Cos he would have trebled his money had he even bought Spotify stock 2 years ago.

Don’t think Eternal and Louise were shifting lots of vinyl SD but I hear ya brother, I hear ya!

Dan

Smallman1 CD singles then. 🤣

I wonder how much Papa Small took off me for the Eternal track I purchased for the Father’s of Sound mixes.

Smallman1 Louise was better at shifting copies of FHM and Loaded

Did someone say the weeds?!

That went into Snr’s pocket too!

Ellen Allien and Sascha Funke’s watergate mixes aren’t too shabby.

You need a distributor to upload to streaming services, they don’t accept direct uploads. I use distrokid, but I’m not sure if most “diy” distributors will take mixes, there are likely copyright issues.

Something that I found out recently about Apple Music, and it may be the same for Spotify – it wont play tracks gapless unless they are actually downloaded to your phone, if the tracks are streamed theres an annoying glitch between tracks

nicksneddon All of Apple’s apps are shit so no surprise there.
