    “Ugh” – agreed. The mix train projects that we do give DJs 10-20 minutes for their “slot” but a slot is not supposed to be a complete set, rather it’s just a component of it. With 4-6 slots per mix the finished product should sound like a single mix rather than a series of spliced sets. We have some that are amazing and some that are……not.

    I am still trying to figure out controllerism. If it’s genuinely supposed to be the turntablist methodology on a midi platform that’s great but like turtablism, it isn’t something I want to dance to and it’s unlikely to take me on journey or tell me a story (unless it’s this) like a our friends Alex and John used to do.

    On a slightly practical note, I would just take several mixes of one tune and go to town 😀

    Yeah, I think I’m just going to try one where I toy with some pieces, loops, etc. The rest I’ll just use shortened versions of tunes I’ve been playing.

    Or I could be a prick and play two or three songs and call it a day. 😛

    does it have to be live?? like could you take your time in a daw and make a mashup that uses a few songs you like and throw them about a bit??

    I can do anything I want. These guys are vinyl loving old schoolers, but they use digital as well. I’ve always been the one ahead of the curve, so any jokes never bug me.

    I’m going to do some “crate digging” and think about it all.

    Hope this post isn’t too late D-Jam.

    If the genre is trance then I always like Armins State of Trance Year Mixes for inspiration.
    15 mins is around 6 tracks, it’s all quick change ups and drops mostly.
