the greatest dj mixes...ever.

My first thought for favourite mix ever right now is the Krafty Kuts golden age rap mix. I'm sure a lot of people here will be familiar with these songs but the way he mixes classic vocals with different instrumentals is just outstanding

went looking for Tight on slsk and the only person sharing is an ilxor (psst, check the "compilation" box in iTunes)

hahaha is it me

you know the answer to that!

i DID check the compilation button!

i eventually figured that out. you have a duplicate of track 1 sitting separately in another folder though.

i love q burns abstract message so much

Weatherall - Hypercity

i have a nuanced q that's a tad removed from the main plot here, but didn't want to start a new thread-
i'm specifically interested in commercially released continuous/blend/cut-up mixes. stuff like this: https://www.discogs.com/release/163023-DJ-Spinna-Strange-Games-And-Things

-pendantry: a lot of them that i remember are not on streaming, presumably over licensing issues. also i don't mean "artist mixtapes" like the back to mine or late night tales series. i'm interested specifically in mixes where there's some sort of real time manipulation happening-

kind of the progenitor of artist playlist curation? what are your favs? idc about genres. i mostly know hiphop ones, but i found this other one by dj spinna that's a straight up deep house mix. it's really good, too! he has his signature effects + blend style, so even though i knew none of the music, it still had an air of familiar ground. love that.

anyway, this thread is an amazing resource.
