Incidental Remixes in DJ Sets

I suppose I can get behind your stance insofar as djs are horrifically self important and that should be discouraged

Mixing and composing are closely related, elements stacked on top of each other

A lot of great rap producers used to be DJs not coincidentally, not sure if that's still remotely the case though

True that many of the best producers in jungle and hip-hop (and footwork!) have ‘DJ’ (or ‘RP’!) in their name. If we can look past the mendacity of the ‘DJ’ figure in more recent culture I think it lends an earnest, less auteurist ring to the ‘producer’. No “writing,” just transparently someone who stacks things, really well.

I knew despite luka’s genuinely amusing contrarian venom he loves Hype and so my submitted example would strike his weak spot. Loving something so much you hate it, or, because you know better, see it for what it truly is — in this case vulgar trash made by and for brain-damaged fools masquerading as “culture” — is a logical position to me

I think I get it, its true I have no mixes to call off hand, but youre talking ttwo things, one when the samples in a jungle song are live triggered and it feels like a car struggling to start in a very high tense scenario and the other when two songs are played at the same time and it feels like your brain is getting scratched

usually people want to take credit for other people's ideas. you seem to be doing the opposite and attributing your own original thought to me.

other genres that do a similar thing are the footwork adjacent ones. the start of this one even sounds like it was plucked from a transitionary moment in a mix

sounds intriguing.


i don't think it's that anal retentive. it's not about counting every scratch or crossfade just pointing out moments where you go "hey it's that famous tune but it sounds different!"

s gachet drops both versions of "lord of the null lines" at once, the mc yells "easy, gachet!" (doesn't go on for as long as i thought it did, sadly):


love the hyper-crossfaded "energy flash" in this one blissblogger uploaded:


and the hyper crossfading here thats just a bit late every time also has a very physical feeling. the lurching feeling, its almost the genres own version of The Heavy. You get it alot whenever a DJ tries to add any sound to the mix in time via quick drum pad like hits/movements

ratty had probably the most satisfying "violent crossfade" timing of anyone imo, alongside maybe hype
