NEW YORK'S ALRIGHT IF YOU LIKE SAXOPHONES




This mix is in three movements. Why don't DJ's do this more often? Working within this blog, I've come to really appreciate negative space in mixes. Everyone tries so hard to keep things chunking along continuously. A good story has an arc... and so should a mix. I'm not saying there aren't some tremendous mixes that are thoroughly beat-matched, there are. Still... those long pauses, where the reader takes a breath and lets his mind wrap itself around the last chapter can be magical.

This may not be magical... but it's mine.

I'll track ya tomorrow!

I agree with you entirely about pauses adding to mixes. A bloke by the name of James Holden did so just before the last track on Planet Rose 2005 and Piknic Electronik.

Nice looking tracklists... can you download or stream anywhere???

Fritz said...

Certainly. Piknic and Rose part 1 and Rose part 2. And I've noticed a typo in my first post. It is of course Planet Rose 2006.

I will check them out. Just ran across his name a few more times today... must be fate.
