Mixing It Up Nice

A positively mental mix even by The Wizards standards. Sound quality isn't all there but the world-class skills of that man shine through none-the-less.

And in the interest of diversity away from techno and Jeff Mills...

Wow! Relentless.

Love the way they refer to him as Jeff Miles..

Quality thread. A few of my all timers...

Thought I'd give this a go today, by way of commemoration of the last three Fridays, on which BBC4 have run a (selected) history of house, clubs and DJ's, from mid-80's onwards. Have to say that it was only in the last 10 or so minutes, when the super-rich DJ's got to talk us through the present day reality of $500,000 Las Vegas sets, that the standard of the excellently-researched programme dipped.

If you missed them all, and, like a few of us, love all the history and early stuff, here's the first episode. Very much recommended.

As is the mix above

Love it! Highly recommended.

How do I post a YouTube video like above? I keep trying but it just comes up as the web address.

[prophet:marginal]

My method (I think there's an alternative)

1. Locate clip
2. Use 'share' option
3. This will bring up a long string of characters, with the actual link inside it, in inverted commas: i.e. "youtube...link"
4. Cut and paste the whole of it, so that, between the square YouTube brackets, you put the link and inverted commas.

Should work that way.

Logan Sama on the decks with Skepta, Kano & Ghetto. A decade old and still one of the finest Grime sets ever produced.

A set where you just wanted to be there, the crowd absolute loving it. Every techno set needs a 909 sat alongside the decks, a magic combination.

Quality vintage rock mix.

Regis and Surgeon together, no messing about...

Another from Surgeon, this time in full tribal mode in the late '90s. Close to the skills of Mills, surely on the shortlist for our finest DJ. Speaking of which, who else would make this list for pure mixing skills.

I reckon you've got to go back to the DJs who were using vinyl and decks; the digital download mixing desks match beats for DJs, making the whole thing 20x easier (and I can say that having had a go on both ways of doing it).

Dr Dre was an absolute don on the vinyl. There's some old footage of him, as a kid, when he played some local youth club or music venue. I can't post it up from work, but its worth looking for. The bloke was a genius.

In the more house/techno arena, whilst I accept he's a bit mainstream, Oakie was a great mixer. As was Weatherall.

Just listening to possibly the best mix ever made...on Coldcut Journeys by DJ, when they drop that BDP beat ('Bridge is Over') into Harold Budd's soundscape...

'Kin genius. Almost religious, in the experience.

That IS the best mix ever made. I bloody love it and it's one of my go-to listens for a car journey. The bit where they fade into King of the Beats is particularly bombastic.
