A new mix from ME. Seriously...

Picture the scene. So there I am, having a casual play about about on the decks last night (as you do), only to my abject shock and complete surprise, I see I must have accidently knocked or pressed the record button, right at the time exactly where the "session" started and stopped, and so the session lasted pretty much bang on the length of a normal cd.

What are the odds?

So anyway, I thought I'd give it a quick listen, and as we were sitting at Bora Bora the other day, Ben reminded me it's a while since I last made a cd for him (I wouldn't say he was begging, but...), so I though I might as well keep it, y'know, just to shut him up like.

And then I'm thinking, right, I dare say I've taken a few mixes off you guys on here, so I suppose it's only fair I provide you with one of mine. Give and take, and all that.

So, after much deliberation, the tunes that made the final cut... Sorry, erm I mean... The tunes I happen to have randomly picked up consists of:

A few obvious bits that I'll claim are to keep my mates from home (i.e. people like Robbie G) interested

Tracks with mildly exotic drummy patterns (just to show a bit of artistry, like)

A few olden's I'd been looking to squeeze into a mix for a while now

and

Tunes which remind me of my recent trips to Germany, the Ibiza openings, and New York. (Ahhh, memories!)

I entirely apprecaite it's a bit too obvious for most on here, and I'm not trying to show off any ultra rare or revolutionary stuff (I've put all that on hold for a bit), there's a few (gimmicky!) bits that make it stand out and worth a listen.

If you do give it a listen, a quote 'n' smile and some message about how 'if there was any justice I'd be on my was to take over the musical world' or 'I'm actually sad that I know I'll never again have that moment I've just had where I've heard this cd for the first time' or similar, then I'd be most appreciative.

Bearing in mind the last cd I made and distributed had upfront rare stuff like Shined On Me, Blackwater and Wish I Didn't Miss You, so I hope you'll appreciate, it's quite a rarity that I bother to do these things.

Off the top of my head, the tracklist went something like:

Blaggers World - #1 (MLS Funk mix)
Martijn ten Velden - Wish You Would
Nu Electric No Matter What (TV Rock mix)
Til West & DJ Delicious - Same Man
Chris Lake - Changes (inc Finally acapella)
Chris Lake & the Trophy Twins - Babaloo
Outwork feat Mr Gee - Elektro (Cube Guys Delano mix)
Chocolate Puma - Always and Forever (Original Vocal)
Martin Solveig - Edony (Clap Your Hands) (Clapappella)
Copyright - He Is (Dennis Ferrer and Jerome Sydenham Inc Vox mix)
Ame - Rej (DW 'German Kiss' edit)
Josh One - Contemplation (Alex Neri Road Trip mix)
Ricky Stone - Shanghai Taxi (Deepgroove's Dirty House mix)
Pac Jam - Urban Minds

(Updated 18/07)

I'll be making cd's for a few pals, so if anyone wants a couple of tea coasters (My Crew (Ben, Rob, Russ etc) + other halves can expect these by default), then by all means drop me a pm.

Thanks for listening.

Please note I'm available for hire, Weddings, Birthdays, Bar Mitzvah's not to mention villa, boat, closing or opening parties!...

Haha, bless your heart.

Yeah, I'll let you have that comment on Rej! It is a bit marmite, though. seemed like a good idea at the time!

On the other parts I strongly disagree!

yo dan, im new on here, but ive been DJing for past 11 tears or so..

downloaded your mix to check it out as im after some new influences and directions in music before i jet off to ibiza in september.


Really liked your mix, especially your attempts at the x factor of being creative with the Finally acapella over Changes (was this done live or is this a bootleg you found or done yourself prior to the mix?)...dont listen to Annikapannika lol...i thought it worked and worked well, maybe annikapannika is too used to the original track (which in my case i have to say original classics should never be touched again..i hate reworks of classics).
But i do think it fits and works.

as for the Ame - Rej, good ideas and intentions, it works to a certain extent (up to the point where you start to pitch track back up again)...but i just think the track pitches down too far and it drags on too long - too much foreplay :P

overall...enjoyed it and have played it twice now to give it a good thorough seeing to hehe.

Nah, it was a re-edit/bootleg made by me, though the idea was taken from hearing it originally done on Pete Tongs show.

Though the version I found had the vocal in the wrong places, so I re-did it putting it wherewanted it.

Cheers for the comments though. ;)

(Can one of the Mods please confirm that DjfiZZ isn'y an alias of mine please!
I'd also like to add I do not know him, and have never met him!)

well im definitely not called Dan!!!
Just thought it worked thats all, and ive been into making bootlegs for years so thought it deserved some credit. I hate all the crappy cheesey bootlegs out or those that think they work when the vocal isnt in key, or doesnt sit right with the flow of the track. Apart from people fed up of the finally vocal i like it, was going to ask if you can upload the final edit somewhere for me to download it??
 
:)






(is that the sort of thing you were after?)

nice stuff dan but, as previously posted. leave the farkin Finally in the back of the box now fella.8)
