New DJ Mix: Dusting Off

Posted By: Shagz

Inspired by recent mixes from dj friends Shazbot (a tight drum 'n bass mix) and J Puddy (fresh trance/prog sounds), I thought I should get on the decks and throw down a little, as a warm up to a new mix I'm working on.

It's actually been a very, very long time since I got onto the decks just to mix for fun. I think the last time was a month before Christmas, when I did a tag team set with Chris Wright for a DJShagz.com broadcast. I've just either been too busy or just haven't had the motivation/inspiration.

Honestly, I've been like this for a little while, in a sort of funk about djing. It might have had to do with the long, protracted production of Source Material, or something to do with the new things I got involved with in the past couple of years taking some of my energy. It comes and goes...now it's just going, thanks to Pudd and Shazbot's inspirational mixes. :)

Anyways, here ya go, a trip through mostly older tech/nu skool breaks tunes, most of which I never got to actually play anywhere at a gig or commit to hard drive in a mix. Enjoy!

EDIT: Oops, forgot the tracklist...

1. Chris Carter - ESP - TCR
2. Nitro vs. Breakneck - This Way (Breakneck Remix) - London Breakz
3. White Label - White Label - Fused and Brused (maybe?)
4. Plan B - White Label - White Label
5. Elite Force - Peyote Road - King Size Records
6. Dreadzone - Once Upon a Time in Jamaica (King at the Controls Remix) - Functional Breaks

And this was put together on my Rane TTM 57SSL using Serato Scratch and good ol' vinyl records. I also forgot to mention that I actually did some scratching on this mix. :) It's not that great, my home set up unfortunately is on a really wobbly table, and I haven't practiced in a while. At any rate, it's in there.
