TWIZZLE | SKY DIVING | GREENMONEY REMIX - still kills floors
Thanks for those, that Brenmar song is hot. I just want a couple of things to pepper in here and there, as I know some of the people there would appreciate it.
That blk.adonis EP is weird as fuck.
I've been in love with this song the past few days, and since you mentioned "Deep Inside" I have to recommend this: Lil Louis - Club Lonely
Is this party in NY? Then in that case, based on the age of the crowd, many of the people will have fond memories of the Sound Factory, the Tunnel, and Junior Vasquez/Danny Tenaglia/Jonathan Peters/Peter Rauhofer parties... so if I was in this position I'd be playing lots of tribal/hardhouse. It's not my genre of choice but it was REALLY popular in LI/NYC during the late 90's, when I first started getting into EDM.
Some picks:
Razor N Guido - Do It Again (aka, Long Island's most famous contribution to the world of house music)
Johnny Vicious - Ecstasy (Take Your Shirts Off)
Plasmic Honey - Afrika
Veronica - Someone to Hold
Hani - Baby Wants To Ride
Mike Macaluso - The Final Chapter
Catapila - Void (I Need You) (Junior Vasquez mix)
SRC - Vulcan (Johnny Vicious mix)
Junior Vasquez - Come Together
Hypertrophy - Beautiful Day
Kim English - Unspeakable Joy (Razor N Guido mix)
Club 69 - Much Better
Club 69 - Drama
Madam vs Benny Maze - Deep Kemical
Danny Tenaglia - Elements
Danny Tenaglia - Music Is The Answer
Barry Harris - Dive In The Pool
Plasmic Honey - The Funeral
Jonah - Sssst... Listen (this is actually an alias of trance duo Rank 1)

Is this how most edm producers make music?

I just don't know how it works live. Like, what do they actually do live? Like, say Daft Punk, Scuba, or DeadMau5?
Side note, I really like this video. Don't know much of this guy, I'm not into hip hop at all. How is his stuff coming from the electronic world? Does his album have lots of rapping on it?

Believe he's pretty unique in that performs like that live. Sounds great considering hes's producing everything live. Dude's crazy fast on the MPC. Actually saw him not too long ago and it makes for a cool show.
Should check out the deluxe edition of Electronic Dream. Hip hop production that samples vocal trance, pretty tame compared to what you'd hear in the live vids. His actual production isn't bad either.

I'm still bummed I missed Araabmuzik when he was in Holland some time ago (near me, actually! which never happens)
this is so dope: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfUMNiRrEAw
There's one vid where it's Araabmuzik performing for Busta Rhymes and his friends. The first beat he drops has this hook that goes "I can tell you 'bout it". Shit was bananas. His mpc vids on youti e are fun. Would drop links but on my phone at work.
&Divius is that the one in France where drops that Resident Evil sample?

Good... god. Artists of that nature have always inspired me, I just cannot believe they do what they do. I can't come even close to doing anything like that. Saw Daedelus last year at Le Poisson Rouge and dude was fucking nuuuuuuts. Such a tiny little guy going apeshit on a 32x32 controller, no laptop, for 90 minutes. Really fun night that was, and then Ghostlamp Killer came on...
edit: I just found my new obsession: Paradis - Hémisphère Too. Much. Fun.

Yeah, I dig these guys. They're better at being the Junior Boys than the Junior Boys are right now. Their first two cuts are très bien, too!
"Parfait Tirage"
"Le Ballade de Jim"
I've watched a few Araabmusik videos and I'm suitably impressed, but his holier-than-thou attitude rubbed me up the wrong way. It may not mean much to most, but that can really put me off enjoying people's music. Deadmau5 was the same, but thankfully his music turned to shit around pretty much the same time, too. (No Pressure is still a golden track, though.)
Just a random question for you guys, cuz I've been thinking about it a lot while I've been working on this mix.
Does how long you like to hear a song go on for change depending on where you are? Say a club/bar or at home?
Personally, I don't mind songs going on for their almost full length if I'm at a bar or show or something, but if I'm sitting at home listening to a mix, I kinda like just 1:00-2:00 minute clips of a song, and this kinda carries over to when I'm actually mixing, I tend to cut things a bit short instead of letting them play out.

All I know is that if I'm digging a song on a mix, it invariably transitions into another song after about 45 seconds. If the song blows, then I swear to God it will play for 17 minutes.
Prefer the song to go on full length wherever possible, unless there's a perfect transition point not too far from where it would've been mixed out of in the first place.
Some people like to listen to mixes to hear as much as possible, but when given the choice I prefer being able to absorb myself in it
About the only time I'm happy to hear mixes with only a few minutes of a track is if the songs are either that short to begin with, or if the songs somewhat lend themselves to be used that way ie. a deep house/tech mix should always full-length it, but something a bit lighter (Phonat & 5eya's Tronik Show mix is a good example) is usually fine (though in the latter's case, the songs are so good they work well in both short and long form).
Treat the mix as one song and you'll answer how long each component should be within it.
The flow of the mix is what's important, the length of the cuts is relative to it. Quick mixes are great for mash-ups and showing off, but they tend to be done in panic when a) the crowd dislikes the tune or b) something is wrong with the playback. Pop songs tend to be formed of radio edits that limit the amount of time you have to get in and out, whereas other genres have a set intro and outro. Obviously with the right tech and skills this doesn't matter, you can loop beats and create your own remixes/re-edits on the fly.

^^^^ Spot on. Most DJs I've seen chop and change tracks that quickly are usually only able to do so because it's live and the vibe somewhat suits it (because the track may not be working, that sort of things). Only dudes I've ever heard pull it off successfully AND consistently for the purpose of home listening are 2manydjs/Soulwax (they did it SO damn perfectly live as well, talented bastards).
I think P. Diddy says it best (taken from Soulwax's Essential Mix from... um... '09? Unsure of where it originally came from. But that EM is AMAZING. And the track in the background is Abusator by Sweet Light. Killer.)

Back in day, Jeff Mills was renowned for blistering mixes on 3 decks, playing only a minute or so of each tune. Absolutely incredible to witness. Best captured on Live at the Liquid Room Tokyo. Well worth tracking down.
Surgeon's live sets are much the same, he rarely lets a tune play out much. DJ Stingray is another who chops and changes tracks quickly, in the proper electro tradition.

Great record. His 12" on L.I.E.S last year was superb as well.
I freaking love Extrawelt!
Have an ooooooldschool jam.
Also, Tom Middleton and Graeme Park (and Jamie Stevens!!!) tomorrow night

Heard this on a radio show (NTS radio) thankfully someone gave me the ID for it on facebook.
Oliver $ - Doin' Ya Thang (Original mix)
Fun song!

Haha, oh this song... I'm surprised you didn't know what it was, it's been pretty huge for the past few months and has garnered an INSANE amount of flak, because it got popular with the Guetta/Duck Sauce crowd. Reminds me quite a bit of Bassfort - Street Is My Word

Ha nah I cant keep up with all the genres I follow! I only listened to the Radio show as I wanted something playing while I played D3 but it was so random it made me laugh.
Guess its like this one
SAK NOEL - Loca People (What the f**k)
Friend said he heard it loads of times out ,even at Miami Winter thing and hes not the kind of guy to see guetta play haha and now I hear it all over in the most random places.
Was Hammering the Rinse Swamp 81 podcast earlier, basically everything for the full two hours is stellar.

Yeah, he's not too bad. Actually plays a really, REALLY good set live, too. Impressed the hell out of me when he dropped this. Took me ages to remember what it was, but I finally remembered. Great track.
Love this, but horribly overplayed.
And another track of his I actually kinda like better... umm... What's In Your Head. Not a bad track. But yeah, definitely capable of doing a splendid live set.
Oh, and Gestaffensteinenhausenberg will be coming to Australia in December. It's a festival gig, but as someone I'm newly obsessed with... fucking awesome.
Gesaffelstein - Atmosphere (SO FUCKING GOOD... almost reminds me of Der Dritte Raum a little)

Awakenings Festival next week, made a schedule for the DJs I want to see:
12:30 - 14:30 Robag Wruhme
14:30 - 16:45 Ricardo Villalobos
16:45 - 17:45 Gaiser (live)
17:45 - 19:30 Matthias Tanzmann & David Squillace B2B
And then I just need to pick a finisher for the rest of the night. (till 22:00-23:00 when I leave the festival)
Adam Beyer, Carl Cox, Ben Sims, Chris Liebing, PET Duo (lol, hell no), Joris Voorn or Marcel Fengler.
Think I'll just go with the flow, and probably will do so during daytime as well so my schedule is useless anyway.

Concur with this.
Was thinking of him as well, just need to convince my friends.
Oh well, most of the times I make a schedule upfront, I end up at entirely different DJs anyway.
And the lineup is big!

Ha I have heard of exactly zero of those names! What sort off edm is it?
Man, that is a killer lineup! If you can make time for it, do NOT miss out on Donato Dozzy. Such a brilliant DJ and producer.
And what I wouldn't do for a chance to see Whrume DJ Dude is just wacked out of his mind.
Kollektiv Turmstrasse - Heimat (Robag's Turmkolle Rekksmow)
Moenster - This Is For You [Robag Wruhme's Chukka Boot Rekksmö Rmx]
<3
edit: John, that's a Techno fest if I ever saw one! Looks like a really good one, too. I would lose my mind there, if only in trying to figure out what stage to be at at what time. There are at least two people on each stage that I would love to see. Have fun, Nyx!

So stoked that Ready and Prism are getting a release. New track Dakou is ridiculously good. Jacques Greene is flawless.
Damn, Ready is such a filthy tune.
